just saw an episode of tanked

[vitaly]

decided to watch it for the first time. they were building the pinball machine tank.
wow what a stupid idea. the tank is completely impractical.
plus they threw way way too many angelfish in there.
i am guessing there will be many dead fish in a day or two.
p.s. i hated how they were making idiotic statements about fish poop making plants grow and angelfish being chichlids

 

[Redbellypiranha]

angle fish are cichlids

 

[bobblehead27]

Yeah, they are. And the plants consume the nitrates which the poop creates so I guess that's what they were saying...

 

[Bottomfeeder]

Freshwater Angelfish ARE Cichlids. But yeah, that show is retarded.

 

[LeMAy]

I know what you mean. I wish there where a reality show that focused on the actual hobby instead of gimmicky (is that a word?) novelty fish tanks. I watch that show just on the off chance they actually get into the specifics of the hobby instead of their family drama and dumbass themed tanks. Although with angelfish I guess they are technically cichlids, they're just the biggest sissies in the family. Just their jaw structure I guess. They certainly aren't what you think of when you think of S.A. cichlids.

 

[Bottomfeeder]

I agree, it focuses almost zero attention on the fish themselves.

 

[bobblehead27]

Yeah that's definitly true. I barely consider them cichlids, but they are... I hate the show too though but like you I still watch it hahahaha

I just don't understand how people don't realize how fake this is. I mean, they honestly have to be the worst actors on television..

i know that angelfish are chichlids and poo would make plants grow. it is just the way they said it that made it seem really silly.
the whole idea is stupid: a person who knows nothing about fish orders a tank that would run over $50k easily.
but i guess some rich people are like that

I dont watch the show but i wish the network execs would give more credit to peoples intelligence and actually provide us with an educational show rather than this scripted reality show bs.
