Are fish suffering because of their shape?

Tropical Fish Keeping UK ·

2026/08/05

With the publication of the RSPCA report, the shape of suffering, I thought I'd look over the report and give you my thoughts. Then I had to reduce the volume because I'd got so worked up. Can you spot where I editted out the swearwords? Oh and when I refer to parrots, or parrot cichlids, I mean Blood Parrots. Fish are bred to very few standards for the most, and little concern about their short or long term welfare. I feel that this needs to change, and the best way is through our wallets.

2026/07/08

Have you ever wondered about fish that are used in labs. I chat with Hannah Poppy Davies about her work with Zebra Danios in the lab setting at City St George's University of London, and the rehoming project that means if you have space in your tank you can apply to rehome some of their fish once their working days are over. https://www.citystgeorges.ac.uk/about/facilities/biological-research-facility/a-life-after-the-lab-rehoming-laboratory-zebrafish

A Cichlid That Refuses to Become Extinct.

Tropical Fish Keeping UK ·

2026/07/01

Ptychochromis insolitus, also known as the Mangarahara cichlid or joba mena was thought to be extinct after the last female known female in captivity died, to make matters worse the only river they're known from had dried up. But one zoo keeper Brian Zimmerman refused to accept they were gone, and launched a campaign to find more females. hoping that private keepers had some hidden in tanks, or tropical ponds, instead he was given clues to find a remnant population in the wild.
