Aquarium Advice Freak
This is not aimed at this site.
If seems like on the net, some giving advise are just repeating what they read somewhere on the net and have little idea if what they repeat is absolutely true or not .
What i am referring to is things like..... you must have this number of a given fish, otherwise they will not be happy.. as if fish have human emotions.
For example.... Years ago, before I was told different, I had a single Cory cat for a couple of years and there was never an issue with it. Now some claim it's fish abuse
Personally, I have always kept at least three of any most kinds , but who came up with some magic number that they say is necessary?
As far as as duplicating a fish's natural habitat... just what is a fish's natural habitat that has been bred for countless generations in a fish farm....which are the fish equivalent of a puppy mill .
Now... one can say all these things were decided years ago but no one knows by who or when....
Am i missing something here?
The net has a lot of good info on it but there is also a lot of bad info on it
Info concerting the Aquarium hobby is not immune to this ..no subject is.
