How dare you ?!!! bichirs and jaguar are boring ?? silver arowanas !!?? exactly what kind of fish do you keep ??
Yup you read it right!

Blood parrots, goodeids, goldfish (included larger ones), Electric Blue JD, North American natives (included walleye and bowfin), uncommon community fish species and of course a piranha. But that is in the past before I moved out. Of course everyone is bashing on Blood parrots, goldfish and Flowerhorns.

I hate
-people who buy red tailed cats an then get pissed when it eats everything else in the tank
-African cichlids
-bare bottom tanks
-people who only use scientific name
-that fact that I can never find the fish I want when I have the money for it

I also hate big tanks with just gold fish. I'm not a big fan of commonly ffound fish that are found in everystore especially the chain stores. (Even though I own a Oscar I rescued from my friend but he is so lively so ill make an exception, and I have a rd because of the color and aggression plus it's cheap) and I hate when you know more then a petsmart employee wwho never heard of a sponge filter and they are amazing when of how large of a tank I have. I have a 70g :/

The prevalent use of acronyms for everything. I understand the convenience factor, but to a newcomer it takes a while to learn what "gt, bgk, fowlr, tsn, mts... etc. all refer to.
