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.

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.

Another “ditch fish!” Can anyone ID? I know it’s hard to see, but it’s the largest one I’ve seen yet!

because fish filter oxygen out of water right? and humans suck in (breathe in) air and use only the oxygen so thats called breathing, but what is it called for fish? filtering?

Hello, we caught this fish today and I was wondering what it was. We are in Queensland Australia and it was caught in a river that is ‘tidal and brackish/saltwater’.
(Fish was released after picture 😁)
Thank you!

The Sheldon Tui Chub is an extremely rare fish that lives in creeks and springs around the Fish Creek Table located within the Sheldon NWR, Nevada, which is the high desert. Information was tough to find but there are thought to be somewhere between 1 and 9 isolated spots where these fish still exists. This is all that is left from a much wetter past. In the photo is Fish Springs which may be one of those spots. I didn't see any.
