I Love Fishkeeping

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. 

Okay follow me on a journey into my favourtie fish, or group of fish. Cichlids. From Rift Lake Cichlids to South American, and all the rest.    Apologies for the wrandom noises. I'm not feeling up to rerecording it, and I messed up a bit, I will do better next time. 

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.
