Meet The Team
Mari
Founder · Fishkeeping & Houseplants
Marijke (Mari) is the founder of Aquariadise. Based in the Netherlands and studying Communication Science, she got into fishkeeping in 2010 with her very first 5-gallon dwarf shrimp tank and has been writing about fish and plants ever since.
She also runs the houseplant-focused Houseplant Central and hopes to eventually make blogging her full-time job.
Alison
Tropical Species & Breeding
Alison is a professional freelance writer with over 35 years of fishkeeping experience. She started at age 12 with two goldfish named Mister and Missus, got a tropical setup for her 15th birthday, and never looked back.
Today she keeps two large freshwater tanks and has bred everything from kribensis cichlids to bettas. Her favorites include cichlids, discus, tiger barbs, and Corydoras catfish. When she’s not checking water quality, you’ll find her reading about wildlife or writing teen pony novels.
Jennifer
Saltwater & Reef Tanks
Jennifer is a Marine Science graduate from Eckerd College with a B.S. in Biology (and a minor in Music). She started with freshwater over a decade ago, navigated the usual parade of failures and successes, and transitioned to saltwater.
Her current setup is a 10-gallon reef tank, and a planted freshwater build is on her eventual roadmap.
