About Aqualista
A practical aquarium site for decisions that happen before and after fish come home.
Aqualista focuses on the parts of fishkeeping where vague advice causes real problems: tank volume, stocking, filtration, lighting, water changes, feeding, and disease warning signs.
Editorial position
I prefer testable aquarium advice: measured water parameters, realistic stocking limits, product scope, maintenance intervals, and signs that a plan is not working. When a rule depends on tank size, fish species, filter flow, or water chemistry, the page should say that clearly.
