Fish Memes

[mimo91088]

Yea I sell in my local Facebook aquarium groups. See some crazy stuff and some real bad advice there lol. We've got that 1 guy who repeatedly posts his overcrowded monster tank, and it usually devolves into threats of fist fights. (Though maybe that's just because they're groups local to Boston. Anger is our way of life. Lol)

The goldfish specific groups aren't as bad, i find some cool stuff and good info on those mostly. But nothing beats fishlore.

I am in Facebook groups for Pike Cichlids, Geophagus, and Tetra Breeders, as well as Michigan Cichlid, Grand Valley AS, and a regional group for all clubs. I have seen no nastiness on any of them, though there was one post on Tetra Breeders that reminded people that the group is for people who have a serious interest in studying and breeding Characiform fishes, not complete novices. And while some of the people on there have the knowledge to sometimes make me feel like a novice, they are not mean about it. I have not seen any nasty comments in any of the other groups, either. (I think your problem is being in Boston, too. I've known a few folks from that part of the country!)

Mostly the Tetra Breeders have access to species I have not yet seen alive, and just barely heard of before. The photos are amazing. I think you have to be invited to join, though.

Those shrimp are seriously athletic.

Recapping upon my earlier post- I probably got a bit carried away with stating how bad they can be, where the nice posts outnumber the ugly ones probably at least 25:1. Its more just drama than anything where people get a little bit inflated over small issues, can be entertaining watching the squabble, but a problem none-the-less. I am apart of the Michigan Aquarium Keepers (Mid-Michigan Cichlids too, which is very chill in my opinion), but this group has a lot of people trying to get 50$ for their 2ft red tailed cats constantly when attaining quality of life doesn't seem to be top priority. In addition to this, any rules that people may find 'an inconvenience' (keep in mine, rules created by Facebook policy, but enforced by the admins) tend to cause quite the buzz have have a lot of backlash. The communication with rehoming things can be rather poor too. I'd like to say that my observations are face-value as I do not get involved with messaging people, too much drama for me.

Sorry for the sidetracking of this post! Here's a relatable fish meme:

You see, I thought I would be smart by taking daily photos and comparing the tallest plants to the water level.
I got really excited recently as I was seeing loads of growth for a few days.
Then I remembered that I wasn't taking the photos from the same height/ angle. And I was getting a lot of evaporation as I was leaving the lid off.
Major fail.

Hilarious memes, been laughing a minute.

Don’t forget the rainbow gravel

Don’t forget the rainbow gravel

I was at a fish auction once and somebody brought a 5 gallon bucket of rainbow gravel. They weren’t even able to give it away!

 

[mimo91088]

I'm a 32 years old man and I still to this day have a little pineapple house in my 10 gallon. If you've got a problem with spongebob you've got a problem with me.

There's a youtube video of a guy who went all out. He disassembled the frame to paint it yellow, Added different colors of sand for the streets and sidewalks. Had really good replicas of the main buildings in Bikini Bottom. Not gonna lie - I really liked it. If I had the time/energy/patience for another tank . . . .

Right! Call me weird, but a tank doesn't have to look natural for me to like it. Dang, half those professionally aquascaped tanks don't look natural. I mean, they look good but show me a riverbed or pond bottom that looks like that. It's the effort that matters, not the style.
