One person, one fish room, one website. If something's broken on FishHub, you're not filing a ticket into a void — you're telling the person who can actually fix it. That's still true today. fishhub.co.za #fishkeeping #southafrica #fishhubza #aquarium #aquariumhobby

A year ago this was a side project. Today it's live. I built FishHub because SA fishkeeping deserved better than juggling Facebook groups, WhatsApp, and overseas care sheets that don't match our water or our climate. One place: shop, species info, marketplace. It's day one. It's not perfect. But it's ours — built here, for this hobby. If you keep fish, I'd genuinely love your feedback: fishhub.co.za #fishkeeping #southafrica #fishhubza #aquarium #aquariumhobby

Bowls are not tanks. No filter, no heater, no space to turn around. A betta in a bowl isn’t “easy” — it’s slow. If a shop sells you one, ask them why. What to get instead (free guide): fishhub.co.za/species/betta #fishkeeping #southafrica #fishhubza #bettafish

45cm — demanding, and worth it. The benchmark SPS coral. Stable parameters matter more than light. Acropora Coral (Acropora spp.) → Adult size: 45 cm → Tank: 200 L minimum → Water: 25–27 °C, pH 8.1–8.4 → Aggressive · Carnivore Free care guide: fishhub.co.za/species/acropora-coral Reef keepers — what’s in your tank? 👇 #fishkeeping #southafrica #fishhubza #reeftank #marineaquarium

90cm — and it eats plants. Often sold as a "vegetarian piranha". It needs a tank the size of a car. Black Pacu (Colossoma macropomum) → Adult size: 90 cm → Tank: 3000 L minimum → Water: 24–30 °C, pH 5.5–7.5 → Peaceful · Herbivore Free care guide: fishhub.co.za/species/black-pacu What did we miss?

A bowl was never a tank. No filter. No heater. No room to grow. It's not a starter setup, it's a fish that won't make it to a year. If someone you know is about to buy a betta a bowl — this is your permission to say something. 🐠 #fishkeeping #southafrica #fishhubza #bettafish
