Before joining MFK back in December I spent some time reading lots of threads to get insight on information, maybe fresh ideas on fishkeeping. Have to say a lot of the threads were painful beyond belief had me saying "DAYYYM." Most of these were around 2016 and before. In honor of the ignorant, the stupid and just plain ridiculous these are some of my favorite topics. Threads for the sole purpose of getting attention, not information:
"My fish are killing each other. It's been going on for a week. What do I do?"
"I'm using a 20 gallon as a growout tank for my baby oscars. You can upgrade in a few months."
"Severums and Oscars aren't cichlids, for real"
"Is a large sump too much filtration for a small tank? I wanna keep a red terror or two in my 30 gallon. A sump would add water volume."
"I got (fish X) to teach (fish Y) a lesson".
"Fish X is the most badass. My fish X tore up all my other fish! U should have seen it." (underwater death matches!)
"My own personal care sheet straight off GOOGLE. And no, I never kept these fish myself."
"Water changes are overdone. Big deal."
"My fish are sick. I don't get it,the tank water is clear. Anybody got ideas?"
"Turtles are ok with fish, I do it all the time. Go ahead if you want."
"Is my 55 gallon tank overstocked with 10 cichlids and a pleco?"
"I change water once a month and my fish are ok. Sometimes I just top it off."
"Does my fish have Ick, velvet, fungus or what? I've used lots of medicines but they aren't working."
"You should give your fish feeders it helps the predatory instinct. Goldfish are cheap."
=======
So what are your favorites, without naming names? I also liked the multiple posting asking the same thing with different words. I also noticed most of these earlier members haven't posted in years (not that I'm complaining).
