Well it is in symbiotic relationship with algea, so half plant, polyvynalchloride plastic "sculpey polymer clay.
Anyone with goldfish, especially in a too small tank. Or parrots/flowerhorns.
I suppose my tank is pretty Normie too, but I love plecs and severums. And it's odds and ends fish just because I like them. And I haven't done water tests in years.
When you say "WC" and they say...what?
Majority of us here are aquarium normies.
Examples:
Keeping aggressive fish, that have the potential to kill each other or kill other peaceful tankmates, in the same tank.
Keep certain types of fish because they're fashionable/trendy at the moment. Avoiding keeping fish that may make one look inexperienced/newbie.
Time and effort on fish is determined by the fish's rarity/price tag.
Preference for brightly coloured fish as opposed to being interested in fish behaviour.
Breeding fish for the sake of achievement, even if there's no where to house the young or the prospects of re-homing them is unknown....
All these are so common in the fish keeping world, that they are accepted as the norm....

A guy who packs a 55G with guppies and mollies, doesn't do water changes but pops a Tetra Water Conditioner tablet in once a month and says his fish are fine.
A normie is a person who walks into an LFS and points to a pleco and loudly proclaims "these fish eat poop"...
