first you are saying that i am a newbie in fish keeping
then you criticise me for asking a question. i am new to fishkeeping(and you know that) and thus i am asking a question, which makes common sense
if a new aquarist asks you "does nitrate even affect fishes" then will you be like "man he is a idiot"
you experienced guys are always arguing with everyone and spend a lot less time helping others.
Bro, you literally just contradicted your own statement. You are accusing him of calling you a "newbie" (and you are, just like me) like it is a bad thing and then you say "I am new to fishkeeping." Smh...
Most of these guys are good at what they do, and they don't argue with everyone. They genuinely try to help whoever they can. They surely have helped me through all my crazy ideas. I'm honestly surprised they have put up with me this long lol (Btw thank you to those who have helped me).
