With the publication of the RSPCA report, the shape of suffering, I thought I'd look over the report and give you my thoughts. Then I had to reduce the volume because I'd got so worked up. Can you spot where I editted out the swearwords?

Oh and when I refer to parrots, or parrot cichlids, I mean Blood Parrots.

Fish are bred to very few standards for the most, and little concern about their short or long term welfare. I feel that this needs to change, and the best way is through our wallets.

The genetics of colours is an important part of fish keeping, but it's not that clear cut.

I'm joined by special guest John Chitty to discuss the upcoming changes to how we classify fish, and what that means for the care we need to give them.

Fish clubs are struggling, but why is that, and what do fish clubs need to do?

It's the time of year to head off on your hols, but what to do about your fish? What if I told you this is one of the times of year that we see far more fish deaths, all linked to how you plan to feed your fish whilst you are away.

After the recent meeting in London it'sclear there are some changeson the horizon..

Have you ever wondered about fish that are used in labs. I chat with Hannah Poppy Davies about her work with Zebra Danios in the lab setting at City St George's University of London, and the rehoming project that means if you have space in your tank you can apply to rehome some of their fish once their working days are over.
