Web story and headline: Practical Fishkeeping November issue is now on sale!

This month we are focusing on some fish that are not kept in aquariums enough. John Southall, a new contributor, looks at some common fish that experienced hobbyists need to give a second look while Neale investigates the cichlids of Central America. They colourful and hardy, so why don’t more of us keep them? To finish up our trio of underappreciated fish, Michel talks all things Neolobias and Nannaethiops – colourful characins from Africa that should be more prevalent in the hobby.

Also, another new contributor in Ollie Prinn discusses the importants of genetics when keeping and breeding livebearers, and Tai builds an achievable nano aquascape using mostly an off-the-shelf kit.
