Can’t argue that one. I’ve never had one.
This is right up my alley. Allow me, first of all, to gore the most sacred cow of all. I never cycle new tanks. I get brand new stuff, fill it up, plug in the air pump and add fish. I've been doing this for years and have NEVER had a problem. My tanks are crystal clear and smell as sweet as your Aunt Petunia.
I have kept and bred Angelfish in a 20 gallon high tank. And I will again.
I regularly feed frozen bloodworms with no ill effects on my fish.
I loathe, no, I despise Plecostomus. Messy, filthy things.
I keep Betta's in a five gallon with (gasp !) other fish. And I will again.

Me neither. Though I did have a brackish paludarium with fiddler crabs once. Even had them spawn (though I had no idea how to feed fry at the time so none survived).
Exactly. People think Tanked is a cool show, but they just use so much artificial decor, it just looks cheesy and desperate.

Unless your water is at some crazy extreme, you're specifically aiming to breed a given species, and/or you have wild-caught stock, worrying about PH and hardness is a waste of time and resources.
Talking of talcum powder, it is considered safe and people use it on their baby's butt, but it contains asbestos.My tanks . . . smell as sweet as your Aunt Petunia.
What? Talcum powder, breath mints and gin?
Why do people considered it safe when it contains a really dangerous substance?

Is this still active? I've got one to share that might have been shared already: bettas are overrated. I just don't see the appeal. ?

Lol I wonder if that observation is a reason why so many articles say to add neons with larger slightly aggressive fish. Suggesting that neons help keep the peace. My experience with neons is they are peaceful, until you drop a sinking type food into the tank. Then they will nip a Corydora or any other fish that’s getting a nibble or two. Lol
I think Bettas are more a novelty type fish. For let’s say folks who don’t want to do much maintenance. A bedside or desk distraction. A pop of color for tiny spaces. They are very personable and friendly. Good for a kid or a beginner. I have always had them tucked in small spaces here and there. I once had one that lived eight years. I guess their traditional for me. Some of the new species are very pretty. But they are certainly not for a fish enthusiast.Is this still active?

I really love bettas, but not because of the pretty colors or long fins. I like them because they are smart and have great little personalities.
