Aquarium Advice Addict
The water level thing is my #1 irritation. Like WHY is it not filled to the top?? WHY?
And one more, it has little to do with looking at people's tank, but still; uninformed employees. If you know nothing about fish.... Maybe you shouldn't work in a fish store (or at least not give ridiculous advice)!
I couldn't agree more. Just this morning I overheard an employee at Pets At Home answering a question "How many peppered cories do you think I should get?" "Oh I wouldn't get more than one, these things grow huge and eventually will outgrow your tank!"
Seriously?
I like things to look natural. I physically cringe when I see a some insanely unnatural gravel color covering the bottom of a tank, and those painfully obvious-that-they-are-plastic plants. To each their own, but for me it's the whole package (substrate, plants, inverts, rocks, driftwood, and fish) that make a tank really interesting.
welcome to my nightmare, I hate my own tank!Agreed. I hate clown puke gravel and all those day glow rocks. Don't even get me started on Spongebob...

I love to look at other people's fish tanks. The great majority of them are awesome and so much better than mine, but once in a while, I see stuff that make me go, "Why??". Nothing big, just little pet peeves like:
1. A low water level for no reason, like 2 to 5 inches below the edge of the tank. I'm all like, "Why you no fill tank up all the way to the top???"
2. No background. My brain be like, "Why you no put background?! Why you like looking at filter and cords and ugly wall behind tank??"
3. One tetra. "Why you no give him buddies??"
Lol
What are your pet peeves about other people's tanks (or your own)?
that would be color specific to my pink gravel"Unicorn puke gravel" Best description of that bright mixed gravel, ever!

Now y'all are making me cringe about my themed tank(the American tank) red white and blue gravel with an army tank and jeep
dude my heater was straight... But than like.. Ummm... A meteor hit the side of my apartment bro... Knocked that fella all out of whack.. Yahhhhh I have no excuse...The crooked heaters I can't help. No sooner do I straighten them out, here comes someone (angelfish, african cichlid, dragon goby, depending on which tank I'm working in) to knock them right out of place again. So I reach back in, get's knocked again, repeat... I swear it's a game. They do it to drive me insane. I see them hiding under a plant, wood or rock and smirking at me.
