Discussion Poll: Instead of banning fish keeping related questions should we just have a megathread for it?
Currently all aquarium hobby-related questions get removed and redirected to other hobby-focused groups like r/FishTank, but I was thinking it may be a good idea to have a megathread for questions.
Question posts will still be removed but will be redirected to the megathread.

Moderator post regarding the Pleco Torturing videos
Apologies to everyone that had to see the videos and to those that don’t know bots are currently spamming fish-related subreddits with videos of people torturing plecos. These videos are made by an account called “Lab Germ” on TikTok, and from what I’ve seen, it originated from that account.
Why are the bots posting this content here? If I had to guess, the bots are spamming this content in multiple fish-focused communities to karma farm. Unfortunately, this type of content does well on social media, so they think it’s an easy way to get karma on Reddit.
What can I do about it? Please report the posts so we can remove them and make sure to report the account to Reddit, as they can do more than subreddit moderators.
What are the [r/fish](r/fish) moderators doing about this? We are already handing reports and removing them as fast as our small mod team can. I already turned on crowd control to help filter them out, and I plan to also add a karma & account age requirement to post later today.

Identification Random fish skull found in tree
I do a lot of fishing around where I live and I’m usually pretty familiar with the skeletal structure of the fish around my area, but today I found a random stringer stuck in a tree with this neat fish skull stuck to it. I cannot decide on whether if it’s a trout skull a pre-spawn salmon skull or a walleye skull where I live walleye makes the most sense but the nose just doesn’t look pointy enough to be a walleye.

Other FIL passed away inherited his 2 betta fish fish, 1 not doing well.
Before my FIL died I noticed his fish was just sitting at the top of the tank.. this was in August.
I’ve had them now and the fish just doesn’t seem to be getting better.
I think it’s bladder disease? Maybe some fin rot.
Recently swapped it over to this tank (1 month ago)
I have done 3-4 days of no food then given it a pea- but it won’t eat the pea.
I don’t have a ton of room available so I had to work with what I have- it’s in a 20 gal split tank.. roomie is the other betta fish I was left.
I have like 5 years of having a big tank running ive helped a couple of fish recover but usually it doesn’t seem to end well for me when they look like this and I want to do my best to keep it alive :(
My sons love looking for grandpas fish.
Water temp is 80-82

Identification I'm trying to identify the gender of this Golden honey gouramis.
I have a strong suspicion that the "A" one is a male and the "B" one might be a female. A Google search didn't really yield anything concrete for me. Also sorry if this breaks rules on this subreddit, by all means please delete if that is the case.

Identification Identify this fish please
Hey, so I say many of these fishes on my recent scuba dive in Maldives. Does anyone know what fish this is ? They were really cute with the fins pushed towards the back.

Identification Got this fish by post with my Pygmy Corydoras
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I apologise for the bad quality video, I had my mother record this for me as I’m currently not there. I recently received a few Pygmy Corydoaras only hy post but I realised there is probably another fish in the packet that cane along with them. I can’t identify it, it kooks somewhat similar to them but has a slight green tint and is slimmer and longer. I have a shrimp colony in my aquarium and am suffering from a bacterial bloom right now so the cloudy water. Can someone please ID the species for me so I can take care of it properly?
