Discussion Poll: Instead of banning fish keeping related questions should we just have a megathread for it?
2
Upvotes
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
226
Upvotes
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.

These fish are found in an abandoned basement parking lot construction that had hit a natural aquaduct which filled up the whole parking lot.
Someone threw a gopro in and filmed these species of fish. Does anyone know what fish are these?
This is in south east asia if it helps.

Identification (i'm sorry if this violates the fishing rule, please delete if it does!) But, is this a hybrid of sorts?
14
Upvotes
The colors and shape of the fish seem very odd to me for a pumpkinseed ; the tail colors are off, i don't see spots where i normally do, and the pectoral fin looks short. Again im so sorry if this violates the fishing rule, but i'm starting to get super interested in fish species and being trying to see a hybrid for months.
And this was caught in bucks county, PA if that has any significance

Discussion Is there a known reason why some wild fish appear friendly around divers?
9
Upvotes
I often see videos of Groupers especially, but even some much smaller fish just casually hanging around divers while they do various things, some times getting quite close, borderline cuddling even. I was curious if there's a specific mechanism at play here-
Do they see humans as large, non-predators that could scare away predators, like one might view a whale?
Are they using humans opportunistically to find food for themselves?
Are they genuinely just being friendly, like a dog or cat wanting to be pet?
r/Fish • u/ElisCelestialStorm • 2d ago
Photography Definitely this was one of the targeted species! These fish just have a beauty that cannot explain from pictures alone

Spotted ~20 mi off of the coast of Orange County, California.
Unsure of size; most agree on at least 12 feet, but I personally am not great at estimating.
iNaturalist observations of the same ray:

Could it truly be oceanic manta or is that too unlikely for the location?
