What's in this Issue?
Putting Pethia setnai in the spotlight
When a chance encounter at Pier Aquatics led to an on-the-spot purchase, Nathan Hill had no idea how deep the cyprinid rabbit-hole would be. Follow his journey setting up a Western Ghats biotope for Narayan barbs and their sympatric pals—and find out how to make your own.
What’s inside the June issue of PFK:
• BARBS ‘N’ BOTANICALS: Editor Nathan Hill recreates a Whestern Ghats aquarium with rocks aplenty.
• SWIGGING ON PIMS: Could the Pimelodus catfish be the ultimate in sleek, whiskery bottom dwellers?
• APP FOR AQUARISTS: We get hands on with the brand new Fishkeeper app from Maidenhead Aquatics.
• STOCK FOR SUCCESS: What are the right fish for your pond? We go through the pros and cons of the many options.
• EARNING YOUR STRIPES: Breeding the bluestripe pipefish is no easy task, but Robin Mannion shows us how.
• UNWANTED VISITORS: A close look at common pond livestock thieves and how to tackle them.
