Sustainability is a hot topic right now. Pending what happens with Brexit, we might find ourselves paying out more for our fish and sundries. It seems that the present is as good a time as any to think about how to be efficient.

This issue we’re looking at a lot of ‘home grown’ hobby. If coral tariffs skyrocket, we have a guide to fish-only marine tanks. To make the most of existing corals, there’s a feature on reef-pest control.

Our feature fish this month is the ubiquitous favourite, the Goldfish. Regardless how UK trade ends up, we’ll always have someone happy to sell us goldies.

We’re also looking at how you can optimise the fishmonger for some treats for your aquaria. And if the price of fish soars, then we’ve got a feature explaining how bugs are fast becoming the next ‘big thing’ in food management. You might not be so keen, but trust me — your fish are going to love it!
