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.

Meme / Humor Fish for adoption
Hay does anyone want a fish? his name is Hans William the 17th he is around a year old now and he is almost a foot long. he has a brother named Marly who murdered their other brother bob. Marly is a foot long and he is always hungry. They also have a cousin named Clenora who lives with them rent free. Hans William the 17th is very shy and likes head pats. He requires two baths a week and will nibble your toes. You will also have to get him special cold-water food and keep his home below sixty degrees Fahrenheit. his fins must be brushed every other day and he needs to be fed twice in the morning and once in the evening. When coming to pick him up please don't be worried if you see hundreds of babies. Hans is gay.
Please contact me in the comments if you are interested.

Identification Help ID’ing this Rainbowfish
This rainbowfish is about a year old now, I’m assuming an egg was stuck to plants I bought last year and it hatched in what was a shrimp tank at the time. It’s finally old enough for me to tell with confidence that it’s a rainbowfish. It’s currently living with a betta, but I’m cycling a 55 gallon because I want it to have an appropriately sized tank. I’m having trouble figuring out if it’s a turquoise or boesmani, or maybe another type of rainbowfish that I’m not familiar with. I’d really like to get it tank mates of the same kind. Thanks for your help!

Fish In The Wild Brown trout(?) in Iceland with a funny face?
Wish I'd gotten better photos. There's are through my binoculars. Almost looked like it had bill, or deformed upper lip. Do folks agree or something else?

Identification Fish of the French Mediterranean coast
Hello.
Spotted this week by the water's edge (in very shallow water) on the French Mediterranean coast.
I don't know much about fish, so any help identifying them would be appreciated.
