Practical Fishkeeping February issue is now on sale!
 
First up, Alex shares a project that has been in the planning stages for far too long. He details his journey to create a shallow sandbank aquarium for a group of beautiful corydoras catfish. Sticking in the South America, Tai builds a biotope for one of the hobby’s most popular fish: the glowlight tetra. 
 
You’ll also get to learn how and why so many fish shoal together, why flow and filtration are key for a successful reef tank, and how to keep bamboo shrimp correctly! 
 
Some other topics covered include:

  • Buying New Fish- Find out how to spot which fish are ready to come home with you and which are best left in the shop.  
  • Happy Snappers- Gabor shares how he takes such wonderful photos to help you level up your fish photography.
  • Algae Eaters or Tank Terrors- Urchins can be a useful addition to a reef’s clean-up crew, but it is critical you know which species are reef safe!
