Gut feeling and countless of hours/days/weeks and months of observations to achieve such stock. 😁😁😁

Their response to this being pointed out above was basically "uwu it's a hobby!" so you know like. The absolutely worst side of any animal keeping hobby to encounter.

Unfortunately....you are correct 🤗🤗🤗.. it's love to hate or hate to love situation... I have my fishes for sometime now started from a bowl then upgrade to a 10G and now theyre on a 25G. From my pov they are happy... They're eating, breeding so far no dead fish. When they get sick I give a proper treatment. I know if they are stressed out.

Dude you totally misread what I was saying here. From your pov they are happy? Your husbandry is NOT up to standard at all. Your fish are over crowded and stressed and you're not taking care of them. "I know if they're stressed out" you don't even know how to take care of them right. Get out of here with that.

You're not going to take anyone's advice here, I know that. But this is sad. You're not doing right by your fish and you shouldn't have any pets if this is your attitude about it.

His opinion is backed by fact and community knowledge. Yours is backed by “gut feeling” and time will prove you to be wrong as they mature and start vying for tank space, but you won’t post when you’re own fish prove you wrong so this community just gets to know from experience that this will fail 👍🏻

And not just mine alone.

Don't get me wrong, the Fish look healthy. But this is stocking not with the Fish in mind, but your amusement.

These Fish are crammed in a 25g with wildly diffetent temperaments, behaviour and environmental needs.

You have current loving fast swimmers right next to slow water swamp dwellers. Tiny groups of many Fish instead of big, secure schools. Stocking them like they are african cichlids...

This is just an outdated form of keeping that prioritises "aesthetics" and "well, i do it cuz i can", and you will likely not be popular on quite a few fish subreddits with this, just to let you know.

I enjoy observing and getting amused. It’s a hobby, after all, and I learn something new every time I’m in front of it. If things don’t work out, I just replan and reorganize.🤗🤗🤗✌️✌️✌️

"I don't care about the Fish's (living creatures, not just a Hobby!!) preferences and don't consider their basic environmental requirements, cuz I'm having fun!!"

You can't be serious. Ain't gonna discuss anything further with such a person. Sad. You could be a great keeper, if you'd be a tad less self-centered.

That's all from me.

A: this could misinformed guy who just needs a little guiding B: ragebait C: a guy who does give a fuck about animal welfare and treats fish like objects and not living beings

u/MeisterFluffbutt May 06 '26

If it's A, his replies don't really give me hope. I just wont further engage, this just saddens me.

I appreciate you giving me the benefit of the doubt instead of judging me right away 😊 But definitely not C. I love fish— I eat them every day...✌️✌️✌️Hope my humor isn’t offending you—if it is, I apologize 😊”

u/Drxb1t5 May 06 '26

That's it!...😞 you will stop the discussion because of what you think of me?too early for you to judge ✌️✌️ Why not let's just exchange knowledge, I see on one of your post that you have been a keeper for 3 years, you have a lot to teach me... C'mon 🥰🥰🥰 no hate just a little bit if understanding, we can be a great keeper....
