Mike and Ryan are a duo from Canada who run the Instagram page, Strange Life Labs, which is a collaboration between fishkeeping and reptile keeping. Mike focuses on reptiles while Ryan focuses his energy on fishkeeping.

Mike discusses which reptile species he works with including the pros and cons of the Phelsuma species he keeps and breeds and why he believes gargoyle geckos are a more attractive pet option over crested geckos. Ryan discusses his beautiful planted community aquarium, how he maintains it, and which fish species would be best for new keepers with a reptile husbandry background.

Want to save some money, and make things healthier for your fish, then have a look around your house for things you can feed to your fish. 

Plants can be an amazing part of any tank, and the hobby of fish keeping, but it can be expensive and intimidating to get into. Here's a way of dipping a toe in the water, and hopefully something that's nice and easy. 

Swimbladder is commonly diagnosed disease, but it doesn't exist. There's a lot more to that word than a simple disorder. 

Community fish? What does that mean, can all community fish live together, or is there more to it/

The first thing you put in, but quite possibly the last thing you think about. Substrate might be the biggest problem you have or the start of a stunning aquascape. 

Fish welfare lags far behind every other types of welfare, and today when I'm feeling rotten after taking a wolfhound to the chest, it's something I can chat about. 

Ammonia is deadly. Nitrites are Deadly. But Nitrate is safe right, no afraid not, but what can you do? 

Which is the most important, quick results or fish welfare. 

With Florida looking to introduce white lists I have a ramble on about what this could mean, and what this means for our hobby. 

In this episode, we discuss pieces of advice that I wish someone would have told me before keeping freshwater aquariums.

Some fish live in the extremes, so why can't modern day fish start the adaptation to living in warmer waters that dry up seasonally. 

We tend to rant about how bad genetic modification is, and these fish are illegal in many countries, but are they the worst thing in the hobby?

BBC Earths' new video on the Impact of Keeping Exotic Fish, under the Dan O'Neill Investigates banner sets out to make fish keeping sound like a dark web trade that is driving species to extinction. Can you imagine my response, well imagine no longer as here are my thoughts, I got a little angry at the end. 

Should we all be buying captive-bred fish, or should we be putting wild caught into our tanks? Are we driving fish to extinction, or is captive farms industrial nightmares for fish? The topic isn't straightforward and it is contentious, and as ever I have my opinions. 

Are fish considered lucky? What stories do we tell. I couldn't resist heading towards Loch Ness to discuss the fish of legend. 

Sorry for the depressing topic, but a bad news day got me thinking. How many people have a plan in case the worst should happen. What happens to your fish if suddenly you can't be there for them. 

It's getting expensive in all walks of life, and fish keeping is no exception, here are 5 areas to look at to save money, avoiding buying things you don't need, and wasting money on false economy. 

It's not as easy as buying a pot of flake and sprinkling in as much as they will eat in 3 minutes any more. 

This week's episode of Aquarium Dilemmas is devoted to losing expensive aquarium fish when fish shopping out of town. We recently attended a sizeable club-hosted event, The Triple Crown, in  Louisville, Kentucky. We found some fantastic deals and beautiful fish; however, we encountered a significant problem when we had no equipment and almost lost an entire heavily stocked fish bag. Join us for the conversation on what we had to do to save as many as possible.Thanks for Listening. Enjoy!ScienceGal Aquatics Kerri and Jesse 

But how far will we go in terms of welfare and care, what will we think of our care in another 50 years. A quick look at where fish keeping started, and where we are today. 

In 2003 the Tequila Splitfin was extinct in the wild, but since then a team at Michoacán University of Mexico, with brood stock from Chester Zoo, and help from their team, have reintroduced 1500 to springs in the Teuchitlán River in the state of Jalisco in south west Mexico. Against all the odds they seem to be thriving.  Want to support us and keep this podcast going?  https://www.patreon.com/tropicalfishkeepinguk Every little helps, and I'm starting to up load the real rants over there ;)  Want to support freshwater conservation? https://www.chesterzoo.org/news/preventing-extinction-in-mexico/ https://shoalconservation.org/ https://freshwaterlifeproject.org/  

 Neon tetras, evolved to confuse predators with their mirror silver sides, and to show off to others of their own kind with the stunning blue and red stripes. One of the prettiest fish you can imagine, but so often kept in conditions they haven't evolved in.   Normally susceptible to disease if you choose your stock carefully and keep them in the right conditions, you have a great fish. 

What's wrong with picking any fish we like, there's quite a bit, and trust me I'll go into the whys and whats, plus the time I almost got eaten by a shark. 

So we often say that the hobby can help in conservation world wide, but does it? How can we help? 

Buying baby fish is a part of fish keeping, but do we think about the adult size? It's a crucial part of fish keeping that seems to be over looked.
