One of my pet peeves is when I go online to share photos or videos of something, only to have that one know-it-all chime in, doling out advice that you never asked for. They just assume that everybody that crosses their path is a novice, and they should be grateful that this seasoned veteran is here to grace you with their knowledge. 😧

IKR, when the post is about something like “what kind of lettuce is your snail’s favorite” with a picture of a snail with no context about the tank and a know-it-all chimes in about a small fish in the background of the photo “your tank is too small for that fish, it needs at least 40 gallons, rehome it NOW” and then the tank of the person posting ends up being like 125 gallons

People were posting pictures of their tanks that they were all proud of and getting absolutely slated by snobs who thought their perfectly manicured aquascapes with more greenery than anything else we the only way. I left the group when they were making jokes at the expense of people with SpongeBob decs and calling them tacky! Mine has SpongeBob to please my 8 year old kid fml😮. I swear they were disgusted by anything the fish wouldn’t have in their “natural environment”… ummm… I suspect none of the fish actually have a clue what their habitat looks like 😊

I am lazy, but I honestly find the weekly water change/minor cleaning do be kinda relaxing. 10-15 minutes out of a day off where I might spend most of it gaming to keep everything happy in the tank is pleasant. It keeps the tank pleasant to look at if I decide to just relax there instead of in front of a screen. However, I don't have a huge number of tanks (pretty much only 1 active with some other stuff around for quarantine), so it lets me focus my attention on one tank.

This reminded me of a really silly mistake I did years ago 🤦🏼‍♀️ I’m still working at a pet store but years ago I had been there for about 2 years at that point and we were moving the fish around to different tanks in our fish area (my favourite section) I was moving a large amount of white cloud minnows, I was catching them and putting them into a little plastic bucket thing that hooks onto the side of the big tanks then tipping that little bucket into the new tank, while loading the little bucket up with fish a customer came up to me to ask for help and stupidly I walked away leaving the danios in the bucket, a few hours later after helping a few different customers I came back to the danios and they had began jumping out of the little bucket onto the floor! I panicked and started to try pick up the multiple danios flopping around on the floor. I was horrified they fish where jumping out! All I can guess is I left them for to long in the little bucket and the oxygen levels where to low with so many fish and they just leaped for it, It’ll never ever let myself be distracted and leave a fish in a terrible position again I also have over flooded a few tanks too because I was distracted 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

I was looking for this comment. I knew someone else would know about these amazing gadgets. There are also water sensors meant for alerting you to a water leak under a sink that can then be plugged into a home automation system. Then there are also gadgets that you can place on a water shut-off valve. So, if anywhere in your house one of the sensors gets wet all the water will shut off.

The others don’t pick on it or anything it was just completely gone when I got home. The fish is doing good though and it’s been like that for several months now and gets good fine and everything.

Working at petco as an aquatic specialist under the guidance of a really intelligent dude who has been there for 17 years. He basically knows everything about fish even with no formal education. My store manager on the other hand is not so bright. We have to fill the salt water sumps everyday. For some reason the store manager decided to fill them in the morning and forgot about it. He ended up over filling the sumps and completely messing up the salinity. He could have killed thousands of dollars worth of fish, but luckily only two $50 anemones died. Still sucks, but it could have been way worse.

My heater and I are low key frenemies, it works wonderfully and I’ve never had it go out on me, but I have forgotten to unplug it while water changing multiple times. One time it melted through the plastic holders and my room smelled like burnt plastic for a week, I had to scrub the glass around it and the ornaments as well as do an extra water change to make sure no plastic toxins got in the water. My heater now has a black patch of hardened plastic chilling on it that won’t scrub off. I’ve also reached in and grabbed it when it was cool enough to be out of the water but still hot enough to burn if you directly touch it 🙃😂

To keep from over filling your tanks you can get a sensor that will sound an alarm. Its actually meant for basements but you just binder clip the little sensor to your aquarium and as soon as water touches it, it goes off... I had one of these before I had my basement waterproofed and a sump put in and one day it hit me.... I can use this for the Aquariums. You over fill once you don't want it to happen again!

Hey, if anyone knows anything about swim bladder disease, I have a guppy with it. I’ve read that feeding them peas is supposed to help, but the fish won’t eat anything, and can’t swim much anymore. I’ve tried adding aquarium salt, no improvement. The guppy has had symptoms for about a week and hasn’t eaten in about 5 days. Any advice???

Update: about 5 hours later the guppy died, hopefully it didn’t suffer too much. I tried feeding it peas but it would not eat. RIP.

Nice tank in the background with Brichardi. I've had a Tang tank with Brichardi for 25+ years! They are breeding machines and fiercely protective of their fry. Inexpensive and beautiful fish!

A really mistake to make is impulse buying fish, when I first bought my 30 gallon aquarium, I bought 11 fish: 2 swordtails, 2 angelfish, a crowntail betta, and 6 FREAKING Goldfish: 2 Oranda, 2 I didn't know( could have been koi) , and 2 black moors, that too, I kept the fish in on the same day as I setup the tank.

I've never overflowed my tank luckily. However I was emptying a tank one time. Left it running went upstairs for a few minutes. Came back downstairs to discover the bathroom sink couldn't keep up and I had flooded the bathroom. Wife was not happy with that one.

So, I have never overflowed a tank (yet) however I did get distracted while doing a water change in my bedroom. I was filling up the bucket with dirty water, went to read the test results from my other tank. I took my time writing down the results and realized the bucket was overflowing, on my carpet!!! Havent done that again!

If you are doing a water change into a bucket you can raise the buckets height so more of the tubing is in the bucket to avoid spilling tank water.

mixing fish with fish that no like each other is a beginner mistake i've done, i've never brought meds or quarantined my fish and when i impulsively buy a fish, i ask the shop owner if it is compatible with my fish at home... i have no regrets lol (i impulsively brought a fish tank and everything i needed for it to function just so i could get a fish i loved at first sight)

Can female Bettas become eggbound? I can't find a solid answer on it. My female has been doing the egg thing for a while, but now shes acting very sick and lethargic, but doesn't really have any of the visible symptoms that show up for Betta illnesses. Params are stable and have been the same for a while. The other fish in the tank (corys and neon tetras, yes they get along :-) ) are doing fine. I'm worried about her.
