rmAbout Finform
Finform started as a small project for someone very special to me. I had inspired her to start a tank of her own, and I thought a tool like this could make it an enjoyable and hassle-free process for both of us. From there it grew out of my own experience and enjoyment of the hobby. It is here to help anyone new to fishkeeping, and to remind returning hobbyists how much depends on choosing the right shoal for the right conditions. My goal was simple, to make the planning as enjoyable as watching your new aquarium flourish.
I love building tanks. Choosing a new tank, imagining the aquascape, finding inspiration from the experts of this hobby on YouTube, and passing the interest on to people who had never thought of keeping fish, then helping them with their first steps. Most of what makes a first tank succeed or fail is decided before the first fish goes in, and most of it can be known in advance. There are good tools for this already. I wanted one of my own, with the features I wished the others had and my own judgement on a few things, so I built Finform.
Describe the tank you have, or the one you are thinking of, add what you would like to live in it, and Finform tells you whether it works, and why. Nothing is padded with a guess, so every number you see is one you can stand behind.
Everything here is guidance to help a hobbyist get started, so take the score as a starting point rather than a promise. Happy fish keeping, and the very best of luck with your first tank.
