It was alive, but not moving very quickly. Carp?

Discussion Poll: Instead of banning fish keeping related questions should we just have a megathread for it?
2
Upvotes
Currently all aquarium hobby-related questions get removed and redirected to other hobby-focused groups like r/FishTank, but I was thinking it may be a good idea to have a megathread for questions.
Question posts will still be removed but will be redirected to the megathread.

Moderator post regarding the Pleco Torturing videos
225
Upvotes
Apologies to everyone that had to see the videos and to those that don’t know bots are currently spamming fish-related subreddits with videos of people torturing plecos. These videos are made by an account called “Lab Germ” on TikTok, and from what I’ve seen, it originated from that account.
Why are the bots posting this content here? If I had to guess, the bots are spamming this content in multiple fish-focused communities to karma farm. Unfortunately, this type of content does well on social media, so they think it’s an easy way to get karma on Reddit.
What can I do about it? Please report the posts so we can remove them and make sure to report the account to Reddit, as they can do more than subreddit moderators.
What are the [r/fish](r/fish) moderators doing about this? We are already handing reports and removing them as fast as our small mod team can. I already turned on crowd control to help filter them out, and I plan to also add a karma & account age requirement to post later today.

Pink Salmon back in early September coming in for their run, under predatory pressure from sea lions.
Pretty amazing how many there are.

Discussion Why are there open water eels in the deep sea but not in shallower waters?
•
Upvotes
Most deep sea eels at the very least stay in the water collumn and are benthopelagic or open water (e.g. Gulper eels, cutthroat eels), meanwhile, most shallow water eels (like Morays, Snake eels, Garden eels, Congers etc) live in crevices or holes on the seafloor. What's different about shallow ocean environments that eels just don't do well there? (I'm talking Anguilliformes/Saccopharyngiformes)

found this big lump in southampton on long island (ny)! ocean sunfish have been seen occasionally out here (normally offshore) and the coloration/pattern definitely looks like one. the size also matches up, as it was maybe around a foot long, but the spine-like thingies are puzzling me lol as i’ve never seen them on pics of molas online (i’ve unfortunately never seen an alive one irl :( ). i have no clue what part of the body it could be!!! the hole kinda looks like an operculum with a ripped off pectoral fin but i’m definitely not a mola mola expert 🤷🏼♀️ i was way too scared to flip it over as the stench was (obviously) atrocious! either way a very cool sighting :)

One of a handful of neon tetras I’ve been doing lately. I’m working on building up a whole school of them, amongst other species as well. I just recently finished miniaturizing my salmon design and will add a couple of them to my frame to be finished off in the upcoming weeks
After that, it sounds like I’ll be doing a fun series of puffer fish in different frames that come together to show an animation of it puffing it
