Practical Fishkeeping - April 2026

Practical Fishkeeping April issue is now on sale!

This month we start off by looking at two smartly dressed species of tetra. Gabor outlines his experiences with the emperor and Xingu black neon tetras. Chris sergeant then investigates the brainy mormyrids of Africa while Jeremy continues his beginner’s marine guide with a look at aquascaping a reef. We even have a guest tailpiece writer this month who has a very important message!

Some other fascinating topics covered include:

· Tiger Tiger Burning Bright- Tai creates a natural-style display for one of the most appealing, yet notoriously problematic, species: the tiger barb.

· Nature’s Janitors - The reef aquarium hobby is full of frequently asked questions, and of those, which algae eaters are reef safe is the Back On The Road – After having a fun day at Fishkeeper Southwest in the summer, we headed back to see how their new aquascape has developed almost six months later.
