Celiac/Gluten Free Fishkeeping
I almost left the hobby a year+ ago when I discovered my automimmune issues were flaring up badly whenever I put my hands in my fishtank, due to the amount of gluten I had been feeding them. It was overwhelming to try to breakdown and reconvert all my tanks -- so I said goodbye to all my fish except I couldn't break up with my little corydoras. I kept them, some shrimp, snails, and a single betta, and have slowly been rekindling my love for the hobby.
Very interested in talking about non-gluten based fish foods and live cultures.
