Practical Fishkeeping Magazine March 2025 Back Issue

Practical Fishkeeping March issue is on sale now!

This month we have a great issue for you to enjoy. Have you ever fancied entering an aquascaping contest? Well now is your chance with this comprehensive guide to planning, building and maintaining a contest aquascape by one of the UK’s best aquascapers, Tom Ryan.

If breeding fish is more your thing, Gabor speaks about a colourful, Critically Endangered, goodeid that would make a great breeding project for your fish room while Tai creates a biotope for the charismatic threadfin rainbowfish for those that like the more natural side of fishkeeping.

We have another new writer, Marijke Puts, who looks at some crabs that make great additions to a reef tank, and a few you should absolutely not add to your aquarium! While sticking with the marine side of the hobby, Jeremy Gay provides a beginner’s guide to filtering an aquarium with a sump. Some other topics covered include:

· Breeding killifish: Experts from the British Killifish Association outline how they breed the beautiful fish from the subgenus Chromaphyosemion.

· Lovely Ludwigia: George Farmer guides us through the genus Ludwigia with some great options for low tech, and high tech, aquascapes

· Retailer focus: We visit a wonderful independent aquatic store in Devon, St Bridget Aquatic Centre
