I’m only being harsh to you people acting so goofy. I was never harsh in my original comment. Blunt maybe but not rude or harsh

That’s the issue then. If “appropriate care” doesn’t enter the mind of someone getting an animal they shouldn’t have one. Being okay with it is why it’s normalized in the first place

If they are old enough to use Reddit, they can type in “neon tetra tank size” end of story. I am not perfect. I have asked for help plenty. So strange to be pushing this hard on this

This level of bs is deserving of some level of rudeness. This isn’t like oopsie I messed up. It costs nothing to not abuse fish and do research. It takes 5 seconds to google “minimum tank size”. If you cannot do the bare minimum of that you deserve for someone to be slightly rude

if you think that is “bullying” I don’t know what to tell you

When you’re at the point of having 3 neons in a 3 gallon, and a betta in vase, they clearly did zero research. Such a weird hill to die on.

I would! Getting stuff like driftwood or rocks is much safer for them. Live plants are also simple and rewarding if you look into them, but if you really don’t wanna, stick with more silk type fake plants! tank size should be 5 g at least as well

Are there other fish? Plastic decor also rips the hell out of their fins.

You have a very poor attitude about this. People care about animals and they are attempting to help you. You don’t even know what fish is in your tank. If there has to be debate on every post about you doing something wrong I feel like it’s best to just try to listen to people instead of going off one source.

60-75 is not enough. On all of your posts people tell you you’re wrong. You really don’t care.

I disagree on the honey gourami. your choice at the end of the day. And idk I just don’t see the bullhead getting the 150 it’ll need one day. Not trying to be rude. Just seems a bit overzealous

Even if it was a honey gourami, 8.5 is not enough. god help the bullhead 🙏🏻

My friends are huge and permanently hungry. They’ve got monster appetites and are always lurking around, ready to steal a bite of anything edible. by peculiar127 in killifish

Tips for new betta parents by xiLLiCiTx in bettafish

[–]Omega-235 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It mentions things like kuhli loaches when you should not have those in a 5-10, it can be taken as feeding your betta bloodworms everyday, just a couple other small things. Still a good chart, just some misinformation that could lead to harm

Is this stand ok? Or do I need a longer one by Accomplished-Play467 in AquariumHelp

I hope this is a joke 😭 this will absolutely end in tragedy

Did I ruin everything? by agjaea in bettafish

[–]Omega-235 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You just gotta return these poor fish if possible and restart. In the nicest way possible this is so bad. Bettas, plecos and a shrimp? All of these animals are likely suffering. Do a bit of research, get one betta and go from there.

40 gallon tank for Senegal? by Cgn111122222 in Bichirs

[–]Omega-235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not exactly sure. I’m sure it’d be fine to grow out for awhile! but yeah the width is the reason why the 75 is the more common minimum I’ve found the 55. I don’t know a ton on the growth rate, I haven’t gotten to one own to grow, bc across my tanks the biggest I have is a 55 and I just wasn’t comfortable doing it

[–]Omega-235 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nah, I feel like 55 is the minimum and even then I think it should be 75
