Thank you all for sharing your personal experiences, tips and tricks on last weekends video release about aggressive fish!

Having a community that helps and talks is so useful in the aquarium world. It really can make the difference between someone leaving or staying in our hobby!

If you missed it here is the angry fish in question that now happily resides in our 600L community aquarium.

A lot of you eagle eyed viewers have spotted this dude swimming around in the big community tank recently.

The short story is he's with us because of an issue that a lot of us have suffered and that is aggressive fish. But I don't think they are aggressive they are just misunderstood or in the wrong setup.

We will chat about his story this weekend and why he is now living with us.
Watch out on our channel for the video release.

I really can't decide which of the plants in the Vampire crab Paludarium are my favourite.

I sort of narrowed it down to the ones in the pictures but I'm sure as they all grow my mind will change.

As loads of you keep asking check out ‪@aquafleurinternational8171‬ new Terra plants range for all the ones I used in the video.

Have you said no to a new fish recently and regretted it?
.
It was very hard to walk away without buying a group of these Slate plecos ‪@MaidenheadAquatics‬@ Taunton
Maybe I'll go back and see if there are any left.

Can you work out what fish is hiding in the plant?
.
I don't often see them in the big tank as they love exploring all the crevices and hiding places. But they have recently been getting very brave and showing themselves more often.

The most underrated cichlid in the hobby just got its spotlight.

The Keyhole Cichlid (Cleithracara maronii) is criminally overlooked looks dull in a shop tank, but put it in a planted setup and it transforms completely. Peaceful, easy to breed, and the parental care is stunning to watch.

New video is up full care guide, tank mates, breeding tips, and why this fish might be the perfect centrepiece you never considered. Link in the comments!
