Maya Rivers has kept freshwater aquariums for over 15 years — everything from a single rescued betta to heavily planted community tanks. She started Finned Friends to give beginners the clear, calm answers she wished she'd had the night her first betta stopped eating. Every guide is researched against current aquarist and veterinary-informed sources and dated when it was last reviewed. Maya is an enthusiast and researcher — not a veterinarian — so when a fish needs medical help, Finned Friends always tells you to see a qualified aquatic vet.
