About GuideMyTank
Smarter Freshwater Aquarium Planning
GuideMyTank helps freshwater aquarium hobbyists make better stocking and compatibility decisions before problems happen.
Why GuideMyTank Exists
GuideMyTank is an independently operated freshwater aquarium reference and planning service. It was created to make species research, stocking decisions, and compatibility risks easier to evaluate before livestock is added to an aquarium.
The site is operated under the GuideMyTank name. The operator does not publish a personal name or home address for privacy. Questions, corrections, and business inquiries can be sent through the Contact page.
Data-Driven Stocking Guidance
The goal is to help hobbyists compare species requirements, tank needs, temperament, schooling behavior, and compatibility risks in one place.
Reducing Livestock Loss
Poor stocking choices can lead to stress, aggression, disease, and livestock loss. GuideMyTank is designed to help aquarists plan before adding new fish.
Building Trust
GuideMyTank separates human-reviewed educational content from automated compatibility analysis. Care guides and learning-center articles are edited before publication and list references when outside sources support the material. Compatibility reports are calculated from structured species records and documented safety rules; they are planning aids, not guarantees about individual fish.
Read the Editorial Policy for the research, review, sourcing, image, and correction process. The compatibility methodology explains how automated reports are produced and where their limits apply.
