Our Content Standards
Every guide on FishTankWorld follows a consistent editorial process:
Research-Based
We reference peer-reviewed studies, manufacturer specifications, and expert sources. Claims are supported by evidence, not guesswork.
Tested in Practice
Recommendations come from direct experience maintaining aquariums over many years. We don't suggest anything we wouldn't use ourselves.
Regularly Updated
Fishkeeping knowledge evolves. We review and update older content to ensure accuracy and relevance.
Transparent About Limitations
When there's genuine debate in the hobby or we're uncertain, we say so. We'd rather give you nuanced information than oversimplified answers.
Affiliate Disclosure
