I just don't like the idea of adding a fish first. I wasn't bashing you if that is what it sounded like. You can do it that way if you want, the majority of people used to do it like that in the past and it works. Now we know that the fish don't like being used in this way. Fish aren't like corals, if they're unhappy, they usually just keep swimming. Don't say it's fine because your fish look fine. It comes down to morals. You are doing nothing wrong truthfully, it will work and your fish will probably be fine. Nice tank and good luck. You didn't have to argue with me, I voiced my opinion and you voiced yours.
Anyway, I was offended by this statement. Age has little to do with experience or knowledge.
I don't feel that because I'm 15 you should assume that I'm an idiot and know nothing about this hobby, which is how I inferred that post. It is especially offensive when someone who uses the phrase, "most awesomeness" says it.
The problem is Pez, if you are only 15 then you can surely only have 12-13 years of experience
....Reading 3000 posts a day does not constitute experience. In order to have experience you have to actually experience something
....Now knowledge is different.
Also, it is surely hypocritical to say that cycling with fish is morally bad, as well as feeding live fish is bad, and still participate in this hobby. Maybe it makes you feel better.
Remove your blinders and realize that every time you purchase a fish, they go though all kings of terror to get to you. How horrible of an experience it must be to be collected, bagged in the dark, poked at, netted in the dark again.......
I want a close up of the fire! How do I get some of that under water?
but really....lets see some more pics.
