Fish Momma is a freshwater aquarium care, setup, and rehoming support service based in Chapel Hill, NC, serving Durham, Carrboro, Pittsboro, Hillsborough, and surrounding Triangle areas. I provide personalized support for everything from new tank setups to routine maintenance and fish rehoming.

Most freshwater aquariums benefit from maintenance every 2–4 weeks, depending on tank size, stocking levels, and plants. Some tanks may need more frequent care, while others stay stable longer. I’ll recommend a schedule based on your specific aquarium.

Nope! Many clients leave a key, use a lockbox, or let me in through a door code. I’m respectful and reliable, and I’ll send a text update when I’m done.
