About Alonso López

My passion for betta fish care has been defined by significant milestones, each presenting unique challenges and enriching my expertise as both a professional and an avid betta fish enthusiast.

• • Early Experiences: My initial foray into this field involved working at local fish stores, a time during which every day brought new learning opportunities and helped me build a network of connections within the fishkeeping community.
    
    
  • Fishkeeping Events and Collaborations: Annually, I eagerly participate in Aquashella, an event that transcends a mere convention, celebrating our collective passion for aquatic life. These events have provided me with opportunities for networking and collaboration, connecting me with prominent figures in the aquatic world and leading to exciting and innovative partnerships.
    
    
  • Engagement and Mentorship: As an active member of various fishkeeping clubs, both locally and online, I’ve found a sense of community and camaraderie. These platforms have not only served as forums for sharing insights but have also fostered lasting friendships. In the early stages of my journey, I was fortunate to receive mentorship from some of the industry’s most esteemed betta breeders. Their willingness to share their extensive knowledge and practical experience was invaluable in shaping my approach to betta care.
    
    
  • Research Involvement: Regularly reading scientific journals, I’ve stayed at the forefront of understanding betta fish biology and behavior.
    
    
• • Contribution to Fishkeeping Literature: Contributing to well-known fishkeeping magazines and digital platforms has been a rewarding aspect of my career. It has enabled me to reach and engage with a global audience, sharing both my knowledge and personal experiences.
    
    
  • Hands-On Experience and Product Testing: I have extensively tested a wide range of aquarium products, discerning the best from the rest. This practical approach goes beyond mere evaluation; it’s a commitment to ensuring the highest quality for our aquatic companions. If a product fails to meet expectations, I ensure that my audience is the first to know.

Through these experiences, I’ve not only honed my skills in betta fish care but have also developed a deep understanding and appreciation for this fulfilling pursuit.
