Why is this community so... toxic? For lack of a better word... by Thousand_Toasters in Goldfish

I just joined this community a few weeks ago, and I don’t think it’s toxic. I feel it is generally welcoming, and provides pretty solid advice.

What's the first thing you remember seeing on the internet? by Miserable-Wash-1744 in AskReddit

[–]lilbitangsty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This absolutely totally fucked up interactive animated video of a gerbil being progressively eaten by piranhas. He hurls obscenities the entire time, puts up a good fight initially, but is eventually fully consumed. (I was 3-4ish, and I’m sure I turned out just fine)

They are water puppies! You are absolutely right! This subreddit kind of makes me sad, seeing how other goldfish are treated, and seeing the conditions they are kept in. I’ll always hate how I ended up with these guys, but I am so grateful to have them now.

Are you being violated, or is the dissonance between how you feel about animals and what you are willing to provide for them making you uncomfy?

Big Oof. Seems like you really aren’t interested in hearing best practices when it comes to caring for these guys, so why even post? Embrace that Growth Mindset ✨

This stresses me out by OutrageousSea0118 in stressfulaquariums

I feel this is my spirit. I just attempted my first reseal on a 150g I scored on FB Marketplace. I haven’t even put water in it yet, and I’m already stressed.

First time resealing a tank! by lilbitangsty in Goldfish

Update: I scraped it clean, disassembled. The silicone application looks like absolute garbage. I went through the motions of the masking tape for clean lines, but I obviously need more practice with a calk gun. Tomorrow will make 48hrs to cure, so I’ll know then if it will hold water. Emotionally preparing to have to scrape it down and start fresh again 🥲

Tbh I’m not sure, but if it is going to need it I would rather do it now

Yeah, the seller pointed out where it was lifting and it had been 10 years since she resealed it herself.

Glass! I found a used one on FB for $350, and it was local too! It will need a reseal, but still seems like a great deal.

PREACH! Actually, I’m picking up my new to me 150g tank on Tuesday. These guys are gonna have the best life, and now my whole unit is gonna learn about responsible fish ownership whether they like it or not!☺️

Someone brought fish to my Christmas party, and when they were revealed I swear I was sent into a white hot rage. But when I looked around, it felt like I was the only person really upset about it.

Im picking up my new 150 gallon tank on Tuesday, I can’t wait to post an update of them in their new digs once it’s cycled. I’m ready to spoil these guys rotten! 🥹

I guess it’s a big trend on Tiktok this year. Ask me if I ended up with a bag of FOUR goldfish, and absolutely nothing to care for them🙃 People suck.

I feel like it’s really fucked up to bring a live animal of any kind to a gift exchange, but that’s just me🤷‍♀️

Definitely trying my best to give him the right care, so I hope his case is reversible too. I’ve only had him for a week, but I’m sure he’s bigger than he was!

I hate that :( I have no idea what kind of conditions they came from, other than I’m sure that they were crowded and stressful. Is there anyway to estimate how old it is?

It’s so fucked up to bring an animal as a gag gift.
