About Piscora
An independent reference site focused on clear, factual aquarium information. No hype, no sales pressure - just practical guidance you can trust.
What is Piscora?
Piscora is a fishkeeping reference site built for people who want straightforward answers. Whether you are setting up your first tank or troubleshooting a mature reef system, the goal is the same: give you the information you need without burying it in fluff or pushing products.
The aquarium hobby has plenty of opinions, myths, and marketing. Piscora exists to cut through that noise. Content is written to be accurate first, readable second, and brief where possible. If something is uncertain or debated, we say so.

- Written for clarity, not word count
Why we built this
Finding reliable aquarium information online can be frustrating. Many sites bury useful details under walls of text, push affiliate products, or repeat outdated advice without question.
Piscora started as a personal project to organize research notes. It grew into something worth sharing because the same problems kept appearing: conflicting care requirements, vague species descriptions, and guides that assume you already know what you are doing.
The site is built to be the resource we wished existed - direct answers, honest about limitations, and useful whether you have five minutes or five hours.
Our approach to content
Every piece of content follows the same principles.
- Accuracy first
- Information is cross-referenced against scientific sources and experienced keepers. When sources conflict, we note the disagreement rather than picking a side arbitrarily.
- Practical focus
- Content is written for people keeping fish, not passing exams. Theory is included when it helps you make better decisions, skipped when it does not.
- No fluff
- Guides get to the point. Background information is available if you want it, but you should not have to scroll past five paragraphs to find an answer.
- Honest limitations
- If something is uncertain, contested, or outside our expertise, we say so. Pretending to have all the answers helps no one.
- Easy to find
- Content is organized so you can find what you need quickly. Species are searchable, guides are categorized, and related topics link to each other.
- No hidden agenda
- Piscora does not accept paid placements or sponsored content. Recommendations are based on usefulness, not affiliate commissions.
What you will find here
- Species profiles - care requirements, tank size, temperament, and compatibility
