The largest global resource for aquarium enthusiasts and fishkeeping know-how.
Practical Fishkeeping is the UK's leading title for all things aquatic. With easily accessible information for all aquarists from beginner to highly specialised, there's a good reason that PFK has become synonymous with outstanding fishkeeping.
Every month Practical Fishkeeping magazine brings you all the latest, up to date information about the fast-evolving hobby of fishkeeping, across all of its many genres. No matter what your niche, nor how unique your own tastes, we'll always have something to cater to. Tropical freshwater, marine reefs, cold water or pond - we've got you covered.
Latest Issue:
The July issue of Practical Fishkeeping is here! Now is the time to start planning for periods of warm weather if you are lucky enough to have a pond. In this issue, Glen takes a look at what can happen during those hot spells, and how you can prevent issues occurring.
Meanwhile, if you like your fish to have whiskers, you’ll be a fan of this issue as plenty of wonderful catfish are featured this month. Plus, Neale suggests some good fish choices for your community tank whatever its size. Also, Tai takes a trip to America to see some species that thrive in colder waters while Marijke is back to examine the suitability of damselfish for your tank. They have often been suggested as the perfect first marine fish, but their aggressive side can cause problems once mature. She covers which to definitely avoid, and some species that might suit your mixed reef.
Some other topics covered include:
· Breeding Hypancistrus- Paul shares his successful methods for spawning H. seideli L 236.
· Demon Damselfish- Should they be avoided or can some species work in a mixed reef?
· Community tanks- Building the perfect community can be daunting but Neale shares his suggestions of fish suitable for small, medium and large tanks.
