Any other under 15 year olds here?

[Fishyfishyfishman]

how do you know that the fish has been caught before? did he have some sort of crust on his mouth?

Yeah, or their mouth is a little torn up or something like that.

 

[BananaBean]

I thought even if you let the fish go it will likely diefrom the whole in its mouth? So why even release them?

I catch with nets or my hands, not with hooks.

Wow! So many pets and do much cleaning!

You can say that again!

 

[bettasXD]

nope. They can live perfectly happy fishy lives afterwards if you do it right. There are spots in there lips with no blood running through and it heals pretty easy. I caught one that had been caught before in fact.

Then wont it be unable to eat with that hole in its mouth?

I catch with nets or my hands, not with hooks.

Wow, how do you even catch them? Where do you ctch them, pond? I dont think you can catch fish using nets in ponds.

 

[Fishyfishyfishman]

It’s just a small hole. And I can’t imagine it hurts *that* much. I’ve caught the same (stupid) fish once twice in a row within a minute or so..

 

[BananaBean]

Lakes, streams, etc. Provided its legal.

I’ve always wanted to go fishing but I don’t know if I have the patience

If you're good, you an throw the line in the water, and 5 seconds later, a fish bites on your hook. happened to one of my friends once

 

[cdwag29]

I hate fishing with a passion. No clue why.

My 5 gallon leaked yesterday. No clue why, but I woke up to water EVERYWHERE. Luckily the fish pulled through. Im actually happy because the new tank looks much better and I can see his colors now (better lighting.) I had no idea he was so pretty.

nice, and not so nice. not sure if I told this story already, but one day I got woken by my older brother asking me why the ceiling was dripping in the room under my bedroom. I soon realized that one of my filters wasn't a 100% vertically, letting a few drops of water spill on the back of my hang on back. A few drips every few seconds can turn into a lot of water in one night. also, the heater on the tank was partially out of the water

That sucks about your tank but glad it looks better

I wonder if my mom would let me get stickers on the back of the iPad? I’m definitely not looking at Deep Rock Galactic stickers. Definitely.

 

[ForBettaorForWorse]

If not, if you have a nice water bottle, stickers look great on those too.

Totally not looking at Betta mom stickers.

YES

Alright, I am considering buying some new fish to add to my 14 gallon cube!
I plan to add even more plants but it it already heavily planted.
I currently have 8 celestial pearl danios and some pest snails. I want to add 3/4 clown killifish, one large mystery snail, and one rabbit snail. Sound nice to you guys?

YES

Which series have you read?

i think that’s too heavily stocked, but that’s just my opinion

 

[Rye3434]

i disagree, cpds are very light on bioload, so are clown killis

 

[Fishyfishyfishman]

While I completely disagree I think it might be a good idea to drop the mystery snail.

 

[PlantedCommunityTank132]

yes, but the mystery snail wouldn't be worth the bio load imo

While I completely disagree I think it might be a good idea to drop the mystery snail.

Why do you want to drop the mystery snail? do you want to kill the snail? from what height are you dropping it? jk

 

[sslliitthheerr]

Hi, just wondering how many other teenagers are on this forum? I think being younger it can make fish keeping more difficult as we have to get parents permission, find the money and we can't drive ourselves places.

Like my parents were unwilling to drive me over an hour to get a second hand canister filter. So I've still got my internal one. This isn't unreasonable just annoying as I probably would've driven much father, based on how much I love my fish!

And trying to find the money to buy things is very difficult, especially for stuff that costs more like actual tanks. Of course second hand is an option but when your parents won't drive far, it's a real challenge.

Any other young fish keepers feel the same way?

I am going to be 14 on the 22nd of July, and yes, I know my profile age is wrong but I can't get ahold of a mod to fix this for some reason. and I understand completely but to be honest I don't even really ask permission anymore because my parents are chill so I just buy the stuff I need when I go to get my hedgehog crickets. also, I make like 25 bucks a week mowing my parents lawn cause it's like an acre and a half.

I’m 16 so I drive now, it does get a lot easier to do things, my lfs is like 15 mins from school so i go like once a week to see what they have, bring fish, bring plants

you are lucky because mine is an hour and a half away

Thats some decent money

 

[Fishyfishyfishman]

If I mowed my yard and earned money at the same rate I might make more than my parents combined lol. But as of right now I almost never have money.

Not sure what that is supposed to mean.

Yes. Well done sir.

 

[PlantedCommunityTank132]

I know, it's a bad joke.

While I completely disagree I think it might be a good idea to drop the mystery snail.

if you wanna know what meant, you said you were wondering if you want to drop the snail, and I made a really bad joke about it

 

[Fishyfishyfishman]

I know, it's a bad joke.

The joke was why I said “Yes. Well done sir”

if you wanna know what meant, you said you were wondering if you want to drop the snail, and I made a really bad joke about it

Was “It isn’t worth the bio load imo“ as part of the joke as well?

 

[PlantedCommunityTank132]

oh. lol

no it wasn't. that was just me saying what I think

 

[Awesomeneptune]

At least I have Stranger Things vol 2 to look forward to. I’ve been cleaning my room and rewatching ST to prepare. Wasn’t it you cdwag29 who liked ST? Have you seen ST 4 yet?

I like stranger Things! Part 2 has just come out here. I'm definitely going to watch it at some point today but I need my sister to wake up so I can watch it with her.

Awesomeneptune hasn't posted for a while too

Yeah, sorry about that. I'll try and be on more until I go on scout camp on Monday anyway.

maybe they got kidnapped by aliens so they can teach the aliens how to keep fish

I can confirm that this is what happened.

I’m about to go fishing, I wonder if anyone here has an issue with catching and eating fish?

I'm vegetarian so don't eat meat/fish. But don't have a problem with other people doing it.


Also I got a new uv filter fory 180 litre and so far it seems to be working really well! I got it cause id started to get green water due to more heat/sun but after a few days of black out and adding in the uv filter, it's completely clear.

 

[cdwag29]

Dude you’re so lucky your brother woke you up! That couldve turned into a HUGE disaster.

I dont think stocking is an issue, however the killies would be much better off in a larger school.

I really am lucky. I was so scared my parents wouldn't let me keep fish after that, but it worked somehow

 

[bettasXD]

Just wondering, how many vegetarians or vegans do we have on here?

What is it like being vegan/vegetarian? Are there times you couldnt fid fod to eat(especially overseas)? Have you wanted to eat meat before?

Just curious

[PlantedCommunityTank132]

im not any of that, but my family doesn't eat a lot of meat anyway. we only eat meat like every few days for one meal.

what do you guys think of my first meme I've ever made?

 

[ForBettaorForWorse]

Lol, I feel that. My 2.5 started growing it, and I was like, aw man, well not gonna worry about it.
It's currently sitting in a cabinet anyway, no need to worry about it.

 

[Fishyfishyfishman]

I wish I could share the first meme I’ve ever made its not forum apporpriate though.

So, I almost fell asleep/passed out in the woods. But I managed to get all of that stupid plant sprayed. I will explain later But I’m to exhausted to right now.

Autumn olive. We have A big property thats shared with a bunch of family friends. I mean huge like several thousands acres. It’s on two mountains and both of them are quickly taken over by that. Horrible plant.

Lots of clean water, daily water changes. Methylene blue also helps.

 

[PlantedCommunityTank132]

my mom left to go to Germany because of her mother, since she isn't very healthy at the moment. She will probably come back in around a month. my dad works from Monday to Thursday, my two older brothers are at camp/working, leaving me with my younger sister at home alone for around 30% of the time. I just hope everything will go well, and my mom can come back soon. Ps, my grandma is around 78 or 87. I forgot. lol

I'm still setting up the aquarium rack, and today my dad and I are going to check if the floor can handle the weight. if not, I will have to remove some of the tanks, and simply set up less aquariums

In PA currently for a baseball tournament. Staying at my cousins and I found her awesome tank with two commets in a 10 gal, but I wont nag her about it.

 

[ForBettaorForWorse]

Oof. That's almost worst than I what I found when I came to camp...

Except one of the goldfish was a koi instead... Great stocking there.
