tank ethics

[DeLgAdO]

Bad ethics:
Flaming in general
Flaming about potential size while ignoring 'right now size'

What irks me:
Perpetual bad advice. No matter how much you try to set things right, the bad advice snowball got rolling and there is nothing you can do to stop it.

Python water changers -people adding tap water to the tank and then adding de-chlor No matter how many times you point out the flaw in that thinking, there is always a line of people that will still do it.

amen brother!

People who say when you buy a fish you must already have a tank big enough to house it now, even though it is only 3" long

People who don't upgrade when they should or if at all

People who flame about overstocked tanks but have overstocked tanks themselves

People who don't listen to reason

People who mix african and american cichlids when they clearly need different setups

People who post and post and post until they get the anwser they want

People who want every question awnsered and never do any research themselves

People who dump fish in rivers

People who don't do water changes, then advise others to follow their poor ways

People who constantly post "meanest fish poles"

People who think fish only grow to the size of their tanks

On another forum that i used to use i got a load of stick when i bought a 2 inch clown knife and put it in a 2 foot tank tempory, they had rants saying that it will outgrow my tank, when i knew that i was going to upgrade anyway. and now he's living happily in my new 6x2x2.

I ment when a CA/SA fish is made to tolerate salty water. Or a African that is ment to live in salty water is put in straight fresh water. I know as fish are bred there pickiness lowers and you can successfully keep frontosa in 'normal' water. But with fish that require certain levels (discus for example) and are at risk due to being kept out of those levels, this is what annoys me.
I keep synos with my New World Cichlids and wouldn't complain about this if someone else did it.

Thanks for all the answers. I was wondering if anyone would mention these two. The overstocked tank gets me the most. These are the first people to flame someone for their stocking level and then say they can do it because of more experience, better filtration, divine right, etc.

some people who gets rid of their fish just cause they don't like 'em anymore or to give space to the new "in" fish.. i hope some people would consider keeping their petfish for a long time, i won't trade my old dog for a new dog.. i'll keep them both

People who beg for datnoids and are "in love with them" and they only really want to copy all the people on the internet. Im not saying that two tanks can't have the same tank, but only buy a datnoid to "fit in". Those people are fake.

Also, I hate it when you voice your opinion,(good on not good) and you get yelled at. Well you know what? Suck my b_alls because it was a suggestion, not flame me because you don't like what I say.

Those people are

FLAMERS

LOL.
