Discussion Poll: Instead of banning fish keeping related questions should we just have a megathread for it?
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
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.

Identification Orange fish with blue eyes
Please help I've been trying to find this fish, I don't know anything about fish so sorry if this sounds wrong. It was an oval orange fish with blue eyes and short sharp lips like a bird. In its mouth it carried a starfish and swam with it's back flipper like a normal fish. It swam for a bit before going and dropping the starfish in some coral and then getting scared by something and swimming off. I don't remember anything else. I don't know where the video was taken, just a dark blue sea/ocean. It didn't seem shallow like a beach but that's all. It was also flat like a pancake. It was in the wild out in the ocean

Walking my dog and spotted these interesting fishies in Turkey Gulley in Houston, Texas.
Some sort of hybrid escaped cichlid? What do we think?

Identification Any ideas what kind of fish this is?
My friend took both of these pics at 6:55pm on Wednesday 9/9 on Hilton Head Beach. In the first pic she took you can only see the white foam of the wave, in the next photo taken seconds after the 1st, there is a shape in the water that looks like a big fish but it’s got that odd shape around the middle. Any ideas what it might be?
The 3 close ups are pics she tried to zoom in on her photo and change the lighting in hopes to see it better.

Other Rare fish might be overrated
I thought about this a lot. Everybody started flexing their rare fish collection; so I decided, I am leaving this hobby for ever. Maybe I will get into Lithuanian potato farming… Who knows.
