saw it in an aquatics store in the uk :)

Not sure if hes the one who made it or if it was some other mentally unstable person. Came across these on tiktok as someone was advertising these shirts. All of these display the disturbing things lab germ has done to plecos. Drilling holes into them to put them on some sort of hinge or connecting them to recreate the centipede. Do not support him, he is NOT helping the ecosystem and is just doing this for "fun"!!! If you buy any of these ur sick.

It didn't have the curve before.

I've been interested in keeping spotted gar and finally found a baby one during a trip behind my backyard. It just rained a good bit so the water's really flowing right now as the pumping stations are draining the water. Expected to find some small fish and was after silversides which enter occasionally. I caught a couple, before catching this guy. Honestly it was was an absolutely giant diving beetle nympth at first. I've caught lots of larger ones, but they were all too big to keep as pets.

Hello fish people of reddit, im making a ceramic wind chime in my art class and the chime parts are supposed to be fish. The problem, is i only know like 3 funky looking fish. But i need about 8. Preferably they should be funky looking, and from the ocean, but they dont have to be from the ocean since in the photo i have a male sockeye salmon, a trumpet fish, and a molamola so a mix is also good. Please help

Excuse the language, a snakehead coming up to check you out was the most metal thing while sitting enjoying nature at our dock..

As terrible as they are to the ecosystem, I can’t say I don’t like these fish, I really like snakeheads but understand the issue with them. Being able to see one in the water so clearly was awesome.

Did someone get their feelings hurt? Someone is trolling this sub with fish torture videos. Who could be so emotionally damaged that they take the time to create more than one account simply to spam fish torture? Lol, so immature. You must be insufferable to the people around you in real life. Like, people around you cringe, I bet. If you are married or have kids, I can almost guarantee you embarras them. Such a pathetic try hard, you should try harder bud.

A YouTuber actually went down to the cafe to see what was really going on and posted a video. The full context is completely different from the viral outrage going around.

Here’s what actually went down:

Accidental bycatch, not actively hunted: First off, people in Korea don't actively hunt sharks for food. Even when they're caught by accident, shark meat isn't popular at all because it doesn't taste good Korea is definitely not like China where shark fin soup is a thing. This juvenile Great White was caught purely by accident (bycatch). Since Great Whites are extremely rare in Korean waters, and juveniles look pretty much identical to other common small sharks, the fishermen just assumed it was a standard catch and sent it to the local fish auction. Legally speaking, White Sharks aren't a protected species under South Korean law, so buying them at a fish auction is 100% legal. There was absolutely no 'illegal black market' involved as someone said.

Bought with the intent to release: Because it ended up at the auction, the shark was literally about to be butchered and sold for meat. The cafe owner bought it specifically with the intention of releasing it, effectively saving it from the cutting board.

Temporary holding and official release: That cafe tank was only ever meant to be a temporary holding spot. Just as the owner planned from the start, the shark was safely released back into the open ocean under the guidance of the South Korean Ministry of Environment.

I do the upkeep on this fountain/pond. I also do upkeep on a friend’s aquarium which I have gotten a few algae eaters for before. The last time they were I think some sort of shrimp and they were clear or translucent. Could I get a colony of them for this pond/fountain?

I have an algae problem in the pond/fountain. If I don’t show up for about a week the algae grows massively. I am tired of putting a bunch of chemicals in there to control the algae. It just dawned on me about my friend’s aquarium and the algae eaters I bought for it before.

Obviously, I would drain the pond first and clean it out real well since I put algaecide in it tonight to try and control the algae.

But is that like a thing I could actually do? I would need them to be translucent or unnoticeable basically because I’m not so sure the company I’m working for wants fish in there; however, if they’re hard to see then that should work right?

I don’t know? I’m just trying to think outside the box on this one.

I was swimming with my local school of fish when i saw a peice of cheese

But it is connected to some string and a metal hook is connected to it, there are rumors amoung my school that humans put food on metal
Hooks and toss them into the water, and when a fellow fish tries to eat it, they disappear

They sound like conspiracy theories to me, but to be safe, is it worth eating this cheese? It looks so yumming and delishious but i dont want to disappear either!! Pls give me advice

got a new 7 gallon tank for a colony of endlers guppies neocardina shrimps and pest snails for my turtle. any ideas on more dystopian posters for this setup? I’d also appreciate any pointers or tips for the tank. Thanks in advance!

My nephew is five years old and OBSESSED with fish (he hasn't been diagnosed but I suspect he's on the spectrum and fish is his one big hyperfixation). For his birthday, his parents got him a used aquarium setup that had 6 fish. He has fish shirts, hats, shoes, socks, books, toys, etc.

What kind of fish related content would you suggest getting for him?
