Would you rather- fish edition

[pattersonbear]

So how this game works is one person says a 'would you rather'. It can be anything fish related (ex. Would you rather own a green terror or a firemouth cichlid? would you rather have a rack of 20 gallons or a 50 gallon tank? would you rather use a HOB or canister filter? ect.) The person below them then answers the question, and can give a short reason why if they want. They then add their own 'would you rather' and the game continues.
I'll start
Would you rather have a 20 gallon community tank or species only tank?

 

[FishBoy101]

OOOH, ok I would rather have a species only tank. My reason is that a community tank would have to be with all kinds of fish which would mean more variety of temp and ph.

Would you rather have a 75 gallon betta sorority or a 75 gallon tetra school?

 

[jkkgron2]

I would rather have a tetra tank since there would be a lot less aggression and fighting.

would you rather have one 10,000 gallon tank or 100 10 gallon nano tanks?

 

[pattersonbear]

10,000 gallon tank would be so cool, definitely that.

Would you rather have a giant gourami or a giant betta?

 

[Pariah]

Trick question. Bettas are a type of gourami. But, a giant betta would be sweet!

Would you rather a large native aquarium or a small native pond?

Heavily planted freshwater. Saltwater honestly doesn't do much for me (please don't hit me).

Would you rather have a beautiful blackwater aquarium or a brightly lit classic planted tank?

Saltwater is too complicated to keep, I'd pretty much always pick fresh. Would you rather a schooling fish or a solo fish

 

[jkkgron2]

Would you rather have a pirahna tank or an oscar tank?

Oscars all the way. They just have such great personalities.

Would you rather have unlimited free tanks, but they have to be smaller than 20 gallons, or 1 free tank, as big as you want? Also what would you keep in it?

 

[AquaticQueen]

Oscars all the way. They just have such great personalities.

Would you rather have unlimited free tanks, but they have to be smaller than 20 gallons, or 1 free tank, as big as you want? Also what would you keep in it?

Free big tank. Probably about 150 gallons. I would keep discus or angelfish.

Would you rather have a fishroom or a pond?

 

[erinw347]

Free big tank. Probably about 150 gallons. I would keep discus or angelfish.

Would you rather have a fishroom or a pond?

A pond. It’s just way more aesthetically pleasing to me than a bunch of tanks.

Would you rather breed corydoras or rams?

 

[Mii]

A pond. It’s just way more aesthetically pleasing to me than a bunch of tanks.

Would you rather breed corydoras or rams?

I'm not really into breeding fish, but i guess corydoras because they're so cute.

Would you rather only be able to keep your top 3 favorite fish, and nothing else, or be able to keep everything but your favorite fish, also you can't keep any fish closely related to your favorite fish (honey gouramis are one of my favorite fish, so i wouldn't be able to keep dwarf gourami, thick lipped gourami, and banded gourami, because they're in the same genus)

Would you rather have black or clear silicone on you tank?

Clear duh.

Would you rather be old and frail your whole life, or be a little kid and not allowed to do anything because you're a little kid your whole life. You will live the same amount either way.

 

[SnookusFish]

Clear duh.

Little kid obvs, my biggest fear is being old lol.
Would you rather have an asian or SA biotope

 

[AquaticQueen]

Asian.

Would you rather have a betta with a rare fin morph but not a rare color, or a betta with a rare color and not a rare fin morph?

 

[Mii]

Asian.

Would you rather have a betta with a rare fin morph but not a rare color, or a betta with a rare color and not a rare fin morph?

Well short finned bettas aren't particularly rare, and they're honestly the ones i really like, so rare color. Purple to be exact.

Would you rather have a giant betta or a tiny green terror

 

[angelcraze]

Green terror because I love cichilds and their attitudes.

Would you rather be an aquatic vet or have your own fish breeding project and be really good at it?

 

[Mii]

Green terror because I love cichilds and their attitudes.

Would you rather be an aquatic vet or have your own fish breeding project and be really good at it?

I would breed fish. Probably Corydoras.

Would you rather have a tank full oc Corydoras, or a tank full of tetras

 

[angelcraze]

A tank full of tetras! Don't hate on me! I love tetras.

Ok would you rather have one cool fish live 10 years, or 100 fish that live for 1 year?

 

[Mii]

A tank full of tetras! Don't hate on me! I love tetras.

Ok would you rather have one cool fish live 10 years, or 100 fish that live for 1 year?

Can i get another fish after the one fish dies or do i have to be fishless for the rest of my life?

 

[angelcraze]

Can i get another fish after the one fish dies or do i have to be fishless for the rest of my life?

Lol no you can get a new fish or whatever you want when your cool fish passes.

And I guess you could get more fish that live for 1 year during the lifespan of your cool fish.

 

[Mii]

Lol no you can get a new fish or whatever you want when your cool fish passes.

And I guess you could get more fish that live for 1 year during the lifespan of your cool fish.

Well I'd definitely take 1 cool fish that lives 10 years 1 year is way to short.

Would you rather have 10 gouramis or 10 cichlids

 

[angelcraze]

Would you rather have 10 gouramis or 10 cichlids

I'll let someone else answer this, i'm partial to my cichlids

 

[Mii]

I'll let someone else answer this, i'm partial to my cichlids

Isn't this whole thread about being partial to one thing or another. I'm totally partial to my gouramis. I love all my fish, but if my tank glass blew out, my first thought would probably be "save the gouramis". Well actually i probably wouldn't really have time to think I'd just grab the first fish i saw and throw it in my quarantine and tank.
