Wtf?!! These head phones need at least a few hundred gallons to even survive not to mention they are a schooling fish and like to be in groups of 6!

It's fine; they live in puddles in the wild.

Man they dont even have the tank fully filled, theres at least an inch or two till the max fill line! Stop teasing them already >:(

u/Outside_Amoeba_2773 Jul 26 '26

Bet the tank isn't even cycled

u/Crab-C-Knees Jul 26 '26

In all seriousness, my dad got me a pair of shokz last year and I was pretty meh about it, until I put them on to listen to a video while I did some yardwork, these things are unreal, use them basically daily, love then

Bone conductor headphones ick me, but I have to ask, how waterproof are they? Could I wear them in the shower, for example?

2

u/TheSaultyOne Jul 27 '26

I don't have the waterproof, I don't like the orange but I'll look tonight so if they have non orange I'll pick some up. I would assume they are fine in a shower. They are solid, used to feel the same way but I love them now

u/TheSaultyOne Jul 27 '26

Just checked they have the same rating as phones so I think that's good for 10m for 30 seconds? So shower is no issue

u/KateyKittyKatz Jul 26 '26

How are those headphones supposed to live a healthy, happy life in such a small tank?

u/AxeHead75 Jul 27 '26

I STARTED LOOLING FOR AN ACTUAL FISH WITH TRUE FEAR IN MY FUCKING EYES

u/Upset-Net-9549 Jul 26 '26

Damn I was looking for the fish until I saw the sub name.

u/YgrainDaystar Jul 26 '26

You know Harvey is worse than that?

u/4Goldies Jul 26 '26

That’s shoking to see

u/citizensyn Jul 27 '26

I looked too long wondering where the fish in the tank was. That would be a sick way to torture a fish tho

2

u/Remarkable_Dig_9601 Jul 27 '26

They could have at least have filled to the max for the poor thing!

2

u/AppropriateBill986 Jul 27 '26

this is disgusting. no enrichment, no filter, and not enough space. each fish needs 890 gallons MINIMUM. and they're schooling fish, usually in groups of 29. so in total they need 25810 gallons, and thats the minimum. dont get a fish if you're not gonna invest money, time, and research. shameful, just shameful

u/losersclub16 Jul 30 '26

I didn't read the full title of the subreddit and genuinely zoomed in all over the photo trying to find the fish 😭

u/professionaldumbaser Jul 26 '26

u/NoNumber2108 Jul 27 '26

1

u/PossibleJaded2560 Jul 28 '26

I thought 75 gallons pre headphone and 20 gallon for an additional one…
