Unpopular Opinions (fish related)

[ClownLurch]

ok i will go in a rant (kinda) about it.
The corydoras never caught my attention, they were always a fish that saw it and my reaction was "nah", so I discovered the otocinclus and fell in love, it was beautiful, fun and adorable so I decided to buy a group of otocinclus for my 10 gallon aquarium , They were great, playful, curious, voracious, adorable, just perfect, so I decided to look more about otocinclus and their different species (I have macrotocinclus affinis) and on YouTube and in other forums I found that people were always criticizing them saying they were delicate fish that died with any fluctuation in parameters or temperatures and that were very nervous and always in the forums and videos said that if you were planning to have otocinclus it was better to buy corydoras because "" they were worth more your money "" and in my experience everything That was a lie and since corydoras were already a fish that I had never liked in appearance or personality, knowing that many people despised my favorite fish and adored to a fish that I did not like saying that it was better because that made me not like the corydora even more, even so I decided to give it a try and investigate more about corydoras and maybe buy a group of pygmy corydoras, but see them writhing in the background like An earthworm made me like them less especially when comparing them with the fine swimming of the otocinclus so I decided not to have them, when I was looking for more otocinclus almost nobody had them and they always had corydoras and they were always varieties with ugly colors but very expensive then I started talking with more aquarists and everyone always felt attacked when I said I didn't like corydoras. It was so between their price, their lack of attractiveness and personality and their fangirls ended up making him detest the corydora. If you want to have corydoras go ahead and enjoy them, love them and take proper care of them (just because i do not like them does not mean i want them to be mistreated, do your research people), only respect when I tell you that I do not like them (especially when you are in a thread of controversial and unpopular opinions) and do not try to make me like them or regret my opinion because That will only make me hate them more, don't even try to rub in my face how "adorable" and "funny" they are because they don't seem adorable or funny to me. thanks for coming to my TEDtalk. Any question you have I will answer.

Congrats @LostBear on #1000 post

Another unpopular opinion; Angelfish should be renamed as Devilfish instead.

That's a popular opinion to me!

 

[LostBear]

Killifish are underrated and making live foods should be more commonplace because it is not hard.

Certainly agree about the live food.

It used to be easy to buy live daphnia, bloodworms etc - not now. They are like hen's teeth.

Rebel without a cause, eh?

Bettas are extremely overrated

Depends on which species of Betta. The common Betta splendens (Siamese fighting fish) are definitely overrated, but some like Betta pugnax, B. imbellis and the other less common types are nice.

Almost impossible to get hold of though.

It's all splendens and fancy fins round here

@Colin_T This thing are overrated too, infact I think all betta species are overrated, I heard everyone talk about betta everyday, they all have betta in small cup and you could find betta everywhere in the wild.

And there was the illegal gambling problems going on with fighting betta till death like those roosters fighting thing.

And betta like this is really common, you’ll find them in every puddle in the rice field, so....yeah I’m bored with betta

the rooster fighting thing is not illegal sadly, here in fact it is seen as a "healthy" sport for the family and always every year when there are huge fairs and parties there are always idiots who take roosters into a ring to fight them, and the bets are legal.
At least in my state they have already been made illegal but in the rest of the country they are still legal. Poor roosters

Time was when the only Corys you could get was a plain old bronze cory. Way back in the day if you had a tank you had to get 1 Cory for clean up duty. But now many eons forward we've learned a lot more and the varieties of corys are vast...so hence their popularity....
