Judging from your last post, you're not going to want to hear this, either. But the real "bottom line" is that you THINK you are taking care of your fish 110%, but all you are accomplishing is having a tank full of fish that are just "existing". You say you don't give a crap about the water requirements of your fish in the same sentence that you also say that they get the care that they need?TheeMon said:
How do you justify that? You have had these fish together for a long time--yes, it is possible to do this. They CAN co-exist together. But NOT "quite well". If everything were going well in your tank, I don't think the 2nd part of this post would have been necessary. I have kept yellow labs before, and I still have a tank full of multi-generational convicts, and there is nothing "boring" about them, as long as their needs are met. People keep telling you that this fish and that fish can't co-exist because they want you to have a good fish-keeping experience. The problems you are experiencing are self-inflicted because of your unwillingness to listen to others. Yes, we all know that they are "your fish" and you can do with them as you wish. But please also remember that they are living creatures that you have taken into your stewardship, and by purchasing them you are committing to meeting their needs to be able to live out a normal life (as normal as life in an artificial aquarium environment can be).Holding my tongue on the betta issue, I've said enough already.
