So this thread will be dedicated for people who may have some expert advice for some species of fish or any aquatic in general like breeding, general husbandry, and also for people who want to provide the advance care for their watery pet!!!!
Anybody an expert in some fish???

Also for example i got some experience with keeping goldfish but I wanna give them the best care possible to what they may experience in the wild and so if somebody has had success with that species they can post here in this thread
That is why our forum has separate sections. There is a cichlid section where people will ask cichlid questions, and people who have lots of experience will often answer them. A catfish section, stingray section, etc. If you read through threads you will see some of the same names over and over, those might be people to listen to. The people who have made threads which are "stickied", or moderators for certain sections, also good people to learn from. A single thread in the general forum, where people post about all kinds of different fish, seems like it would be a disorganized mess to me.
I appreciate the initiative; but I would start with just reading lots of what others have to say before attempting to make big sticky-quality threads, given how new you are to the forum. You will learn the etiquette of the forum and find a place where you fit in to the community. And learn a lot about fish as you go. Hope this does not come off as rude; just trying to show a new member the ropes. Hope you stick around and keep learning!

To elaborate on the above...on a personal level
I have kept mostly cichlids for about 50 years, and although I have kept African cichlids over the years, they are not my forte.
I have mostly specialized in Central American and Malagasy species (some South Americans, but only those that do well in my particular water type).
You will notice the general cichlid section is further broken down ito geographic and certain cichlid "type" sections, to facilitate ease in locating a keepers preferences.
There are over 3000 species of cichlids worldwide, so there are basically too many to stick in only one spot, or as said above, it would get too confused.
I only comment on fish I have kept over a long enough time to have a modicum of experience with.
Beyond that, I worked decades as a chemist/microbiologist so will often comment on water quality issues.
Many other aquarists s here find they gravitate toward certain types of fish and are experts in their preferred realm.
