Who We Are
At Build Your Aquarium, we know that your pets come first. A lot goes into caring for exotic pets — fish, reptiles, amphibians — you name it. There’s a lot of information on the web instructing you how to care for your pets, but not all of it is accurate.
We’ve created this magazine so you’ll have accurate and informative advice on how to provide your pets with the best home.
Want to dive deeper? We cover wildlife too. Many of the exotics you can keep as pets come straight from the wild, so it’s helpful to know what their lives were like before they joined your home.
Or, you can learn about the wildlife that you can’t keep as a pet. These species are often related to your pet, so understanding them can give you better insight into your new friend.

We have real-world experience, too. Members of our team have degrees in biology and writing studies. They have worked in veterinary medicine and wildlife rehabilitation. They have done hands-on research along the coast, working directly with a variety of fishes.

Kaylee Keech – aquatic expert
Kaylee is a content creator and copywriter who enjoys spreading her love for fish and all things aquatic.
She graduated from Millersville University in 2020 with a BS in biology with a concentration in marine biology. She also earned a BA in science writing.
Kaylee feels most at home when working with fish, and when she is by the ocean. She is a certified scuba diver whose dream is to one day dive with sharks. One of her fondest memories is tagging sharks off of Chincoteague Island in Virginia.
Currently, Kaylee has a large goldfish tank filled with feeders she ‘rescued’ from her old job at the pet store. She also has two small, freshwater community tanks. Her favorite fish became the seahorse after she cared for one during her marine biology course. It’s one of her dreams to set up a seahorse tank in her home.
