    Let's not hide the problems

    Anti pet keeping groups are quck to point out the issues with pet keeping, I think we as fish keepers need to look at our own issues, and see what we can do as the ones who love our animals.

  • A Cichlid That Refuses to Become Extinct.

    A Cichlid That Refuses to Become Extinct.
    Jul 1 2026

    Ptychochromis insolitus, also known as the Mangarahara cichlid or joba mena was thought to be extinct after the last female known female in captivity died, to make matters worse the only river they're known from had dried up.

    But one zoo keeper Brian Zimmerman refused to accept they were gone, and launched a campaign to find more females. hoping that private keepers had some hidden in tanks, or tropical ponds, instead he was given clues to find a remnant population in the wild.

    I'm joined today by Asher Flatt, who is hoping to raise the money to bring this journey to bring a species back from extinction, his project A Fish Out Of Water will follow the journey of discovery, and the movement to protect this still rare species.
