Hi guys! If you live in the Los Angeles County area and are interested in on-site fish care, please see below.
Overview:
I provide on-site aquarium maintenance (from 0 to 200 gallon tanks) operating out of Manhattan Beach, California. I have over 5 years of aquarium keeping experience (both freshwater and saltwater). I also have over 10 years of experience in keeping aquatic freshwater turtles. For appointments please email me at [email protected] and provide the date, time, and location of the appointment. After scheduling an appointment, I will meet you on-site to perform maintenance on your aquarium.
If you are seeking aquarium maintenance while on vacation we can discuss access to your home/office while you are away so that I can perform maintenance on your tank for you.
