Without a doubt ; Tropical Fish Hobbyist
is the gold standard in fish magazines.
They cover a variety of topics in both fresh
and salt water.
You cannot go wrong with TFH....

The Hagen one works well for me but it is a pain in the butt when it slips off the glass and you have to reach in and grab it 
lmao...
aquarium fish deals a lot more with salt water i have found, so if you're going for freshwater Tropical Fish Hobbyist is the way to go

Without a doubt Practical fishkeeping, it's the best all round magazine I've ever read. It's got accurate info and excellent advice. Freshwater and marine aquarium magazine can get a little too technical and too much into the marine aspect of fishkeeping leaving FW and BW in the dust. Practical fishkeeping is so thorough, they even rate each and every fish shop in the UK for the annual shop of the year.
I've subscribed to all of the above magazines and I'd choose practical fishkeeping anyday.
i read tropical fish hobbiest the most. always buy the other ones if they look interesting though
Before you remove it, check for algae -- you can use it to clean the glass... Why waste a good dip of the hands?Originally posted by Matak

Can't find that Hagen magazine anywhere!!
PFK is the greatest.
I agree PFK is definitely the best fishkeeping magazine around!
For tropical freshwater stuff it's unbeatable, especially if you want to get unbiased opinions on equipment. They do some excellent product tests which I have found invaluable in helping me find the best (and best value) products.
There's also lots of stuff on rare fish too, and the quality of the information seems, to my eyes, to be more up-to-date than that seen in some other fishy mags.
Better still, loads of the articles are online:
