Learn From My Experience

I’m Linda Strydom, and I’ve been breeding goldfish and maintaining home aquariums for many years. My journey started with a single tank and grew into a full scale breeding operation supplying local pet shops with healthy, vibrant fish.
Through trial and error, I’ve learned what actually works in home aquarium environments. I’ve dealt with algae blooms, disease outbreaks, equipment failures, and every challenge that comes with keeping aquatic life. These real world experiences taught me more than any book could, and I share these lessons with you through detailed, honest articles.
My approach focuses on creating sustainable aquarium systems that don’t require constant intervention. You’ll learn how to establish biological filtration, choose compatible community fish, and maintain water quality through regular maintenance routines. I explain complex concepts like pH buffering and ammonia spikes in simple terms that anyone can understand and apply.
Every guide on this website reflects methods I’ve personally tested in my own tanks. When I recommend a product, breeding technique, or maintenance schedule, it’s because I’ve seen the results firsthand. My goal is to help you enjoy the rewarding hobby of fishkeeping without the frustration that comes from following outdated or impractical advice.
