Columnist Questions:
For columnist questions, please be sure to include as much information about your aquarium (such as pH, inhabitants, temperature, etc.) as possible, as this information can help answer your questions. If you have a reef tank or planted freshwater aquarium, please make sure to include information on your lighting and any supplements you add to the tank. In all cases, be specific about the fish species you keep.
Due to the volume of “Ask the Columnist” submissions, there is no guarantee that all questions will be answered. Columnists may respond personally, but this also is not a guarantee; we suggest checking future issues of the magazine in case our columnists answered your question in the magazine. Correspondence that appears in the magazine may be edited for length and clarity.
If you have an animal that is ill, we urge you to seek immediate help. Try posting something on the FishChannel Forums to seek advice from fellow fishkeepers, consult with a local aquarium society or knowledgeable staff at a local fish store. Do not delay treatment of your fish while waiting for a possible response to your e-mail. While we will forward your question to one of our columnists, the answer may not come quickly enough to save your fish.
