This makes me sick. Fishtanks suck. People have no idea. Trying to replicate stable natural environments is a science. They're not pets. Yes I had love for my fish but it's crap like this that pisses me off.
I am not the Fish police but people really have no idea what it is to actually keep fish happy. It's a science that needs to be done right or you become a mad scientist hurting the things you are trying to care for.
To someone who loves fish this is like putting doberman in a cat's crate.
I used to take great pride in my Fish tanks. I decided to take them down because I just couldn't take the anxiety of another sandy and couldn't afford a weeklong backup or get a permit for a Natural gas generator. I fed my babies treats of live brine through a pipette after I soaked them with vitamins. Kept my salinity and temperature locked. I mean I never went to college and the chemistry I now know is insane. From the Amazonian Cichlids to the Malawi and all marine life. Crap I even got up late at night with flashlight to watch my copepods swim around. Had stoney corals growing above the water they were so happy. END RANT>
