There is a lot of push back from people on social media about everything that I write. Which is normal, but it's getting worse, is it to the point that it's causing issues for people trying to learn what to do?
The 8 second memory has long since been debunked, but are our fish actually smart? Or are we just giving them credit for knowing which container has the food?
Diet is complex, important, easy to get right, impossible to get perfect. Come and listen to me try and summarise a huge topic in a few ideas and tips.
Nature is important, but so is realism, it's impossible to have a true ecosystem in your tank without major inputs and outputs. Let's discuss how to make things more natural.
Water changes, crucial and debated, but not in my opinion debatable. If you like what we do, please consider supporting us on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/c/tropicalfishkeepinguk Or head over to the website www.tropicalfishkeeping.co.uk

Some questions that have been asked. IF you like this let me know and I'll make it a regular thing. We have questions on plants not growing, fish not breeding and more. Got a question yourself. Head over to any of the social medias and ask. For some of the plants I mentioned. https://tropicalfishkeeping.co.uk/the-easy-planted-aquarium/ Sorry if i sound a bit breathless, allergies decided to exist, hopefully I can get them sorted soon.
Join me as I ramble on about the link between humans and the pets we love.
Let's carry on look at cichlids, this time moving to the Andes to look at Andinoacara. From Blue Acara to Green Terrors, these can be amazing species as pet fish, or a great breeding project.
The advice that various AI platforms are pumping out is dangerously wrong, this is fine if it's just a random fact, but now when people are using this, and pushing it to treat animals, Fish especially.
Deformed, diseased, and cheap. So many of the fish that are being sold, shouldn't be available at all. Let's stop thinking of this as a cheap hobby and start looking to pay more for our pets.
Wnat to hear what is getting me very angry? Yes? Great here it is. Enjoy.
Continuing our journey around South America looking at Cichlids, Today we join Alfred Russel Wallace in one of the most harrowing parts of his adventures, and then look at Pike cichlids, and one decent alternative.
Let's leave the cold wet winter behind and head to the tropics, the Amazon River Basin to be exact, looking at the cichlids that occupy the reaches of the river, specifically the discus. Often thought to be the king of cichlids, or even fish, there is far more than you might think to those stunning fih.
This rant is brought to you by frustration, so much that my darling assistance dog told me my blood pressure was off part way through. Listen to the rant. You'll understand. The dog world has brought out a set of standards for dog breeding, and in this rant about that, I lay outr some standards we also should use.
There seems to be a multitude of ways that your fish tank can if not kill you, at least do you a serious mischeif. Let's have a quick run down of the main dangers and how you can avoid some of them. Please forgive me having a cold and sounding more stuffy than normally. Normal service should resume soon enough. You can find out more info at www.tropicalfishkeeping.co.uk
Not a rant, a ramble through my love of our wonderful hobby. Don't forget to check out the website www.tropicalfishkeeping.co.uk
The Don't Pet Me campaign has come out and seems to be saying that the fishkeeping hobby should be subjected to a positive list, and heavily restricted. It seems that we aren't capable of keeping fish without significant welfare issues. Join me for my thoughts on these ridiculous ideas, and even though many might think this is targeted at primates, and big cats, fish keeping is the area really at risk.
Join me on a rant about the things that people say in the comments, and why so often they are just plain old wrong.
