Who We Are

Fishkeepers First.
Writers Second.

Aquarium Extravaganza is a small independent team based in Chicago, IL. We started in 2019 after one too many bad purchases from sites that were clearly paid to say nice things. Every guide, review, and care article on this site is written by someone who keeps fish at home — not a content agency, not a chatbot.

We cover freshwater, planted tanks, and saltwater reefs. We test equipment for weeks before writing about it. We’ve turned down three acquisition offers. We’re not going anywhere.
