"I would like to say how much this newsletter has helped
me learn how to take the correct care of my beautiful Siamese fish. I thought fish
were easy- but I had it up all wrong. A few weeks ago I was sure my Siamese fish of one year was going
to die. He had become so pale and dull, stopped eating and was very thin and weak, he just sat at the
bottom of the tank looking like he had given up on life. After subscribing to the newsletter I
discovered that I had set up an unhealthy environment for my fish. I gave him a salt bath treatment and
moved him to a larger more suitable tank. The result was instant. Within days he perked up and started
eating and now a month later his colours have returned and he is a beautiful fish again. Thank you
Siamese Fish Secrets - you saved my little fishes life."

"I subscribed to your "Siamese Fish Secrets" newsletter and I can honestly say that the
daily information gave me a lot more insight and knowledge about providing a proper home and caring for
my Siamese fish. I was given two Siamese fish as a gift, and I was weary about keeping them because
I've always seen Siamese fish of my friends start to deteriorate from fin rot and improper
environment.
There was one particular situation that the newsletter helped me out about most. The
newsletter gave warnings about health problems with Siamese fish, and it also provided a
remedy! I was able to recognize the signs of pop eye with my own Siamese, and rid him
of this ailment. Thanks to the newsletter, I was able to act on this problem.
Since the newsletter was able to provide me with knowledge about my Siamese fish, I felt more
attached to my Siamese. I think this is why anyway. My two Siamese fish are healthy, vibrant, and
playful, and I can say that the "Siamese Fish Secrets" newsletter was a part of this.
What I like best about the newsletter is the fact that there is information that I can always refer
back to. I had saved each issue in an archive and whenever I have a concern or a question, the
newsletter is available for me to look through."

"Your newsletter has allowed my Siamese fish to live a long, healthy and happy
life.
Like a lot of people, I happened to get "Merlin" as a gift at a wedding. Being an animal lover, I
searched the Internet for some information and was fortunate enough to find your site.
I signed up for the newsletter, read them completely, and always looked forward to the next
one.
Two of the best ideas I took away from them were to watch the water temp and not to
sterilize the tank. I immediately went out and bought an inexpensive thermometer, but
it made a huge difference when replacing the water and making sure the temperature is high enough
to keep the fish happy. Not having a lot of experience with fish, I didn't really understand the
benefit bacteria give to the fish, but reading your newsletter enlightened me. Changing 25% of the
water often, I believe, has allowed Marvin to stay happy."

"Brian, I am so pleased to have found your site on caring for Siamese fighting
fish.
I failed at raising a couple of Siamese fish in the past and was determined to get
educated (really educated, I thought I was) before purchasing another Siamese. So I followed your
tips starting with a 5 gal. tank. You are one of the few who recommends nothing less
than 5 gallons. One would think that's alot of room for one little fish but, as you
say, it's the only way to maintain the proper water conditions.
That happy, healthy little red Siamese fish of ours (Elmo) is fascinating to watch
in his beautiful domain full of plants. His contentment brings out his personality. He loves to
watch me when I'm at my computer and begs for his dinner. I have had Elmo for several months now,
much longer then the ones in the past. You make it so easy to provide a healthy environment for
this little creature who deserves a quality life as much as anyone. It's nice to know that anytime
I have a question your information is so easily available.
I also enjoy the fact that other people out there consider their Siamese fish their
"Pet"! You're really doing some good work and a great job of it. Every time I buy a Siamese fish I
feel like I've saved it from a doomed life and that's especially so, armed with all the information
I continue to learn from you. I hope no one will consider purchasing or keeping Siamese without
visiting your site, receiving your informative and interesting newsletters. Thank you Brian!"

"I Enjoyed getting the news letter, there were items in it that not only myself but others may have
wondered about but have been too bashful to inquire about, the information on health and
care for Siamese fish was amazing, even if it were things I have read before, it was nice
to see that this newsletter allows you to read over it at your own pace! The newsletter is also very
easy to understand and follow! I love getting the "new" newsletter!" |

"I just wanted to thank you for making such excellent information available FREE OF CHARGE to us once
upon a time ignorant Siamese fish owners!!!
My teen-age son purchased a "Siamese fish in a Vase" for me for a Christmas gift. I thought it was
beautiful, but being an animal lover, I had a hunch that the Siamese would be happier with more
space.
Not having "a clue" about Siamese fish, I searched the Internet to find out what I could learn
about Siamese fish care. After I signed up for your email list, I literally LOOKED FORWARD to
receiving the next tip of the day. And when it arrived I was extremely pleased with the content.
It's the best and clearest information I've ever read on Siamese fish care.
I was EAGER to learn AND APPLY all the GREAT information that you sent my way!
When I got him, my Siamese was hardly active at all in his Vase. He just stayed at the bottom most
of the time and since I didn't know a thing about them, I told the children that maybe he was just
an older fish.
I went to our basement and dug out a small aquarium, scrubbed it up and filled it with room
temperature water. After I put him in, he just swam and swam and swam! The children and I were
DELIGHTED!!!
Another thing I didn't know is that he had ALREADY lost A LOT of his color before he was given to
me. After I put him in a larger tank and added a bit of Celtic grey sea salt to the
water, his color started to increase. Now he is MUCH darker in color and quite
beautiful. I can thank your newsletter for giving my Siamese fish a great environment where he's
happy and healthy.
He enjoys his little plant to hide in and has gotten better and better at hiding himself in it!
I did some reading about their natural state in the wild and found out that Siamese fish enjoy slow
flowing streams. He REALLY enjoys the gentle flow that comes from the filter/water pump. Actually,
the filter was unplugged for a few days and when I plugged it back in, he happily floated on the
current!
His little vase used to sit on the table, now his small aquarium sits on the kitchen counter, near
an East facing window and by my sink. I don't have a dishwasher, so he has added quite a bit of joy
to the time I spend washing dishes.
Thanks for all the SUPER advice, Brian!!!
Thanks again!!!

"Man, I do have to say that the "Siamese Fish Secrets" newsletter has been more than
resourceful...I have had various questions that have boggled my mind like, "How do I know
when my Siamese fish is happy" or "how often should I feed it." All in all, the online guide has been a
great help for my family and I since it is emailed to me on a constant basis. I mean, if I'm out of
town or on a business trip, the emails are always there for the family's knowledge. We actually have
the website on our favorites list so we can always see what's going on with our Siamese fish. Our
Siamese has been kicking since Christmas of 06 and he looks as happy as a clam!!!
Thanks for the words of wisdom, helpful tit-bit's of information and love that we all as Siamese fish
owners can use to keep our Siamese Beautiful and brilliantly happy!!!" |

"When I first bought my Siamese fish, I wasn't sure how to best keep it and what to look for regarding
its health and if it was happy. It started getting lethargic so I turned to the Internet to get
answers. Caring for Siamese Fighting Fish gave very good, comprehensive info for general conditions
that best suit the Siamese fish. I learned more about better foods and the environment in which the
Siamese thrives.
Thanks to the internet when one is seeking answers, and thanks to Caring for Siamese
Fighting Fish for providing great info for me to give my Siamese the best care I
can." |

" I am so glad that you have taken the time to help me with my Siamese fighting fish. I was a beginner
and the fish are so beautiful. I had no ideas until I heard from the many caring people writing in to
your site that I finally found out what I was doing wrong with my Siamese fish. Your help was perfect
because I learned about the proper water needed to have a healthy environment so I could save my fish.
It was very sick but because of you informative articles I have learned so much. In appreciation. I am
grateful." |

"Caring for Siamese Fighting Fish really helped me make a better environment for my two Siamese fish.
When I needed some tips on how to specially care for my fish, I went to google to find a site on care
and environment for my Siamese. This site was one of the first ones, but I went to seven or eight other
sites before looking at this one. I really enjoyed getting the emails that gave me tips on how to care
for my Siamese fish. The most helpful thing for me was the email where I found out how to make my
Siamese fish comfortable. I liked getting the emails. I looked forward to getting a new one every day.
Thank you for your help!!" |
