  • 35 years of experience keeping fish, horses, dogs, and cats.

Experience

Alison is an experienced aquarist who began her fishkeeping odyssey as a child, starting with a basic 10-gallon tank that housed two cheap feeder goldfish. As the fish grew, the tank was upsized, and more goldfish of different varieties were added. Today, Alison’s tropical freshwater tank houses a happy community of barbs, corydoras, gouramis, and a beautiful betta.

In 2002, Alison worked in a veterinary clinic in the UK as Practice Manager before beginning her writing career in 2009. Alison has written thousands of articles on fishkeeping and pet-related subjects for numerous websites and two short novels. Alison is also a professional dressage judge, officiating at numerous events throughout the year.
