They all moved to alt.aquaria.  Yes, that's right, a newsgroup all to ourselves!

Actually, there have been some articles in rec.pets too, off and on, since some
people haven't discovered alt.aquaria yet.  I posted some myself, less than a
month ago.  If the article is about *fish* (as opposed to *aquaria*), I often
cross-post it to rec.pets (with an explicit "fish" in the Subject or Keywords
line so people who aren't into fish can skip over it).

But it would certainly be a lot nicer to keep it all in one place (alt.aquaria,
I imagine; perhaps it can be made into a 'rec' newsgroup?)
