• As discussed, the {{Fishkeeping-stub}} has been created and about 25 articles has been marked with this stub as you can see in Cat:Fishkeeping stubs. However, the stub was almost immediately proposed for deletion at Wikipedia:Stub types for deletion. If you want to save our stub, here's what you can do:

• Let the stub-sorting people know you're supporting the stub and vote to keep the stub here.
• Find more fishkeeping-related stubs and mark them with {{Fishkeeping-stub}} (but please do not mark this stub to the fish species/genus/family articles as they are in the scope of fish-stub)

• Our current collaboration article is fishkeeping
• Articles recently created: x-ray tetra, rosy red minnow, Pelvicachromis taeniatus, Nannacara
• Articles recently expanded: labyrinth fish, List of freshwater aquarium fish species
• See or edit the current tasklist here

Discussions

• "Aquarium box" for fish articles. Several wikipedia in other languages have boxes for aquarium care information (temperature, pH, water hardness, size of fish, etc.). Should we apply that to ours too? See more info and discuss here.
• Should Bloodworms be merged into Midge (insect)? (discuss)
• Should Nano reef be deleted? (discuss and vote)

• Our parent wikiproject, the WikiProject Fishes, is having an important discussion about the policy of "Titles of fish species articles". This policy covers the selection of scientific and common names as article titles. It will have a significant impact on a large number of fish articles. See or join the discussion here. Related to this discussion is the title change of the article Mayan cichlid to Cichlasoma urophthalmus.
• Aquarium, a featured article since 2005, has been proposed for a review which may lead to the article being de-featured. See the proposal and discuss here. Discuss how to improve the article here.
