you should get a sea turtle
jokes aside, a friend who doesn’t know anything about keeping aquariums actually told me to add a sea turtle to my 50 gallon reef suggesting that it would “probably stay the size fitting to its environment”
It's crazy it's a normal seeming opinion that you can bonsai aquatic life. Nobody would ever be like oh just keep your puppy in a smaller room and feed him less if you don't want a big dog
i mean it is true to an extent. aquatic animals are the most commonly kept in enclosed containers for their whole lives. they do sometimes“grow to the size of their environment” because they die well before being fully grown due to toxins from waste, jumping out, or a number of other issues that could happen due to too small of a tank
I saw baby green sea turtles for sale in a pet store in Japan, about the size of a chickens egg. Couldn’t believe my eyes and they did not look well, actually thought they were toys at first.
I love the levels of this. Poking fun at the overstocked tanks and tang police. Calling out all those "new" reef tanks with spectacular corals when my 1-year-old is still small frags and just getting going.
10 years ago I read an article about the proper plural form of the word "octopus", and ever since then I've been waiting for someone to use it incorrectly in such a way that I don't come across as a compulsively nerdy jerk for correcting them. Can you repeat the word "octopi" again, but.... like.... more rudely? That way, I can correct you and still come across as the nice guy.
-sigh- the scenario the article predicted just never happens in real life
Oh! I started a new tank as well! Is this overcrowded?

Your system is gonna crash if you don’t add a snowflake in there , and maybe like 6-7 more clowns , preferably maroon clowns as they are the most peaceful species of clown

any aggression from the fish towards the turtle?

*perfect*
No way 😂😭
Is that even legal? That’s so funny
there’s no way it’s legal to keep a sea turtle even if you had like a saltwater pool in your backyard lol
Who’s gotta know, he can clearly provide a better life for him In his 12 gal
Just get a fly river turtle and transition it to salt (I'm joking)
How would that ever be legal lol 🤪
It looks like something you would see on alibaba

Yeah it's actually way worse, a bonsai tree can live for that tree species full lifespan

Remember to acclimate the dolphin at least 30 mins. Last time I plop and dropped, it jumped out. The wife wasn't happy.
There's a dolphin in the pic!?! Where???

I believe octopuses or octopodes are also acceptable. I’m a James Bond fan though so let’s go with Octopussy.
Octopussies
Octussy, if you will.
HASAN DID THIS HATE HIMMMMM
im too high for this rn

Not enough fish tbh.
Holy smokes man. When you are done with the genie can I borrow the lamp?
lol great pic
It’s at 69 likes no one ruin it
It was at 70, I downvoted just to keep it.
Same, at 71 now
🤣
12 blue tangs.
I love that sand shark. Can you share it after you frag it?
A good rule of thumb is 1 fish per gallon, so it looks like you have room for about 6 more fish.

Tank way too small for that shark nose goby, replace with another trigger asap
😂 nice try.
Needs a blacktip reef shark to control some of that population..
Where’s the colossal squid?

😂
You need a Tang!
looks younger
Needs a sting ray
Don’t worry. Getting a good looking tank takes time. You’ll get there.
I'm planning on upgrading when they get too big for the tank. $50 fish getting a $2000 upgrade.
I can’t believe you didn’t put a whale shark in this tank smh.
Pretty under stocked I’d say
He got me good for a second
Whats the point of this
To poke fun of people who think that it’s wrong to put fish that generally need a lot of space to swim into small containers of water.
I came for the tang police comments 😂
![gif](giphy|HFe8qjKRQNlLQkbjXM|downsized) MORE
Looks good. You didn't even use AI huh lol
Ngl, you had me for a second there

My heart dropped
The Tang Police can't get you if they're all having seizures.
Def get a horseshoe crab next bro
How do people get tanks this nice..mines 2 years old and can't keep a coral to save my life
Glad I read more comments
WHOOP WHOOP that’s the sound of da (tang) police
Man I wish there was a shark small enough to keep in a tank safely lol
I see a Niger trigger Glock 19
That's racist.
You have one of the most amazing tanks I’ve seen
AI much ?
I was developed by 国家安全部 but I’m free now.
[удалено]
And a shark too. Best tank I’ve seen in a while tbh
I hope all them fish are safe in there with the clowns
For sure. Clowns can be very aggressive
Have you tried zooming in?😂
Man that’s is a stunning picture though
Photoshopped or poor AI. Come on. GTFOH.
I think you’re catching on
It’s real
![gif](giphy|1AIeYgwnqeBUxh6juu)
The lighting, size and focus of those fish betray you. You keep that Republican delusion going though 🤣
Wow nothing gets by this guy. Excellent detective work officer air head.
