About aquanerd
An independent guide to freshwater aquariums — clear care guides and interactive tools that tell you exactly what to buy, without the fish-store upsell.
What we do
aquanerd publishes straightforward freshwater aquarium care guides and builds interactive tools that take the guesswork out of setting up a tank. Our Tank Builder turns your tank size, budget, and livestock into a complete, shrimp-safe shopping list in seconds — the kind of practical help most care articles skip.
How we work
Our guides are researched from reputable hobbyist and manufacturer sources, and parameters are cross-checked before we publish. Our tools use transparent, rules-based logic — no black boxes. When we recommend a product, it is chosen because it fits the tank and the keeper, not because of a commission. See our editorial policy for the details.
How aquanerd is funded
aquanerd is reader-supported. Some links are affiliate links, and we may earn a commission when you buy through them — at no extra cost to you. Commissions never decide our recommendations. Full details are on our affiliate disclosure page.
Who is behind aquanerd
aquanerd is an independent publication produced by the aquanerd Editorial team. We are not a fish store and we do not sell livestock — we are here to give clean, no-nonsense information and tools. We tell you when we have not hands-on tested something rather than pretend otherwise.
