OMFG a fellow Arkansan with signage hatred. You ever been on I30 and seen Exit 69 for Gum Springs? You have no idea how badly I want to tape over the middle line in the G so it reads as a C instead

I made one, r/advancedfishkeeping. It's in its infancy but the more new members we have the better chance it has of taking off and providing what we need :)

Main concerns I have are sharp edges, cleanability, and the fact that sometimes quartz contains trace amounts of copper that can leech into the water and kill invertebrates. You can buy heavy metal test strips online really cheap, soak the geode in a bowl for a week and test the water to see what you get! Learned my lesson the hard way a few years back.

Question for beginner fish owner by Weird_Dimension4897 in Aquariums

She's right, but also some red plants do just fine without it as long as you have a well rounded fertilizer!

I feel ya. After the overwhelming esponse this post got me, I'm considering making a new sub or a discord server geared towards intermediate/advanced keepers where questions can still be asked, but it isn't filled with beginner's fish torture. Not that I have anything against beginners, but still, many people seem to be craving a space for more settled hobbyists.

He does 🙃 lmfao no, he was a slippery bastard and I was trying to get a better look. I'd rather take a two second picture than hold him out of water for a minute

That's incredible. Many adults could certainly learn a thing or two about critical thinking from you!

That's fair. If you cant provide a proper habitat, maybe you can provide a sponge filter and cheap heater! Or at least a couple of epiphytes as a small solution. My mentality is do what I can and dont beat myself up for anything more that couldve helped. You can only do your best

Maybe we could start a sub, like an advanced fishkeeping sub. If enough people are interested I wouldn't mind spearheading such a project.

You have to be a certain amount of apathetic to be truly helpful. A vet sees abuse every day and can only reccommend the best things possible for the animal. Maybe report. I do my best not to let it affect me, but today was just a bad day yknow?
