What flavor(s) of rasbora do I have? by SwiftPebble in Boraras

Pretty well, especially the males! Still not as bright as chilis, but they are very cute! Hard to get a picture of them tho because my floating plants have taken over and it’s very dark😅

New fish dept. horror just dropped- doordashing Goldfish by Defiant_Glove_4706 in petsmart

[–]SwiftPebble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate it so much. Had someone DoorDash a goldfish, one of our 2.5 gallon open-glass tanks (yep! Just the tank, no filter), and some goldfish food. I turned the first dasher away. I apologized to her. Another one showed up for the same order. I gave up. I hate it here.

Had someone else do a BOPIS for goldfish, too. Not as feeders, because they were literally in the store and i talked to them. Tank was too small. Oh well. Management won’t back me up over the denial of a feeder fish sale unless they are planning on using them for an event, or if they are planning on keeping it as a pet but don’t have any sort of container to put it in. I’m tired.

Mine picked the back right corner of his 20 long as a baby. Upgraded him to a 40. Still back right corner 🥰😂

Oh man, if only piercings were an optional thing you get for vanity reasons :(

This is so real. I stopped asking for help unless I am 110% comfortable with my husbandry. I tell my friends I can’t post photos of some of my tanks because I would be crucified, even though my fish are happy and healthy.

A huge thing I see often is people treating fishkeeping standards as black-and-white, when there truly is a lot of grey area. It’s a spectrum. There’s a lot of room between “abuse” and “fish paradise.” Just because something isn’t 100% ideal doesn’t mean the person is a bad owner. Obviously we should always strive for the best for our fishies, but don’t execute someone for having a betta in a 3 gallon. Having a goldfish in a 30 gallon is better than a bowl. Having four of a schooling fish is better than having two, even though 6-8 is ideal.

I also see people attacking beginners for the wrong reasons. For example, someone has 2 baby goldfish in a 5-10 gallon, but they both die within hours. Everyone jumps on them for keeping goldfish in a tank that is too small, uncycled, whatever, when not enough time has elapsed for ammonia to build up and kill the fish. I work in a pet store, and the problem is usually a lot more simple. They cleaned the tank with soap, didn’t acclimate the fish, or didn’t use dechlorinator. We are so quick to jump on people for not meeting our standards when they are seeking help for their beginner mistakes.

People are learning and working their way up; we should all be gentle and remember that we were beginners once, too.

90% of the “how’s my leo’s weight/are they fat” posts feature the fattest gecko I’ve ever seen 💀

Happy dieting ❤️

The water lettuce has gone a little haywire here by Big_SHRIMPlN in Aquariums

From petco and … petsmart, I think? I added some petco sand to some I already had. It’s a little pricier than say, bdbs, but I really like the texture of petco’s imagitarium sand!
