🐠 Fishblr Questions! 🐠

From @/snowflakeeel !  (not reblogging the post since i don't answer with the ask format :')  )

1. What was the first fish you ever owned? I had 3 goldfishes(2 shubunkin and one common :Titus, Coquillage and Etoile de mer) and it was... the worst mistake my parents let me make. You know, the sellers tell you that YEAH this tank is big enough, when it isn't... and every other mistake that every Young fish keeper probably made at some point :'(   The last one stayed 7 long years with me ! (sip, you were my best buddy and ill never forget you !)

 2. What is your dream tank?

i'd like a hUUUUGE tank with goldfishes !!!!!! or even better... a pond with some kois !

3. What is your favorite fish? i don't think i could possibly choose !!

 4. What was/is your most troublesome tank? Ugh.... My attempt at a sorority w/ female bettas (It's stupid to get tricked a second time but.... don't trust sellers ! ) I only have one tank and no possibility of rehoming the troublemakers, so i had to improvise... I wasn't really bad but it was EXTREMELY complicated, and time consuming to separate them with improbable things so they wouldn't fight... They deserved better :(  5. In your opinion, what is the best beginner fish? Well since i got my experience from making stupid mistakes I don't think i can answer that,,, I never kept fishes other than bettas/goldfishes   7. Are there any fish that you dislike? I don't really like the goldfishes that have been selected to have some... extreme features ? like the ones that have huge pouches Under their eyes, the ones with demesurate bellies or eyes that are way to big... i don't really like ranchus either... where are their fins D: there's probably others but these ones make me sad because they look like they have trouble swimming,,,, poor babies 8. Planted tank or reef tank? Obviously ill never try the reef tank but... I don't know... just talking about the aesthetic i like both ! They're completely different but sooo pleasing to Watch !  Its like.... fantasy gardens or little fragments of ocean......

 9. Favorite type of betta? Halfmoons ! But actually...... i like them ALL !! Maybe i'm a littlle less fond of crowntails and veiltails ? They're all gorgeous but from now might consider some with shorter fins !  10. Favorite type of goldfish? The common ones ! underrated unfortunately.... But comets, shubunkin, and fantails are also very good !! 11. In your opinion, what fish should not be reccomended for beginners (but often is)? oh you know, the classics : bettas and goldfishes :')  I mean if you're a dedicated beginner you can probably do super well !!! but often "recommending" means "helping a 7 year old kid picking a fish he will not kill in a Week because their parents don't have time for that" 12. Favorite species of shark? WHALE SHARKS !!! Leopard sharks ! and reef sharks (but there's probably a lot of sharks i don't know about lol) (Basking sharks scare me,they make me feel incredibly weird...... even though they're harmless x) ) 13. What is the best brand/type of food? I've only used Tetra until now and i'm pretty satisfied w/ it ! Never had any problems related to food 14. Favorite invertebrate? snaiiiils ! they take their time. good boys

 15. What would you do if you suddenly had an extra 200 gallon (757L) tank? *chanting* GOLDFISHES ! GOLDFISHES !! also i'd take a loooooot of time planting and decorating it with a load of hide spots ! 16. What would you do if you suddenly had an extra 10 gallon (37L) tank? i think i'd go for a female betta ! and maybe a snail !  It woul be funny to try Something based around color for the decoration... 17. If you could remove any product from the shelves of a petstore (ex. Bettacube, ecosphere, fish bowls, etc.), what would it be and why? Only one D: ?  fish bowls or funny looking and absurdly small tanks, probably... for obvious reasons. Bowls are for cereals kids ! take care of your pets ♥

 18. Have you ever bred fish? nope ! 19. Gravel or sand? gravel ! 20. Favorite non-fish animal? Horses !  21. Favorite fish fact?

oh um. i have no idea D: So much interesting things !  22. What common myth about fish do you wish you could dispell? (Ex. Can live in bowls, 7 second memory, low maintenance, boring pet, throwaway pet, etc.)  "easiest pet to take care of"   I Don't care if no one gets fishes because they think they're boring ! I just want people who have some to take care of them decently !   24. Do you start a siphon with a pump or with your mouth? *loud slurping noise*

25. What do you think is the most beautiful fish? my fish, of course :)

(come on, i can't choose ! the most beautiful are the happiest ones ! the one you're caring for !!)

26. What do you think is the most dangerous fish? the ones we don't know about

27. Best way to deal with an algae problem? Sacrifice to the Gods

28. Natural or artificial decorations? Both !

29. Saltwater, freshwater, or brackish? freshwater

30. How did you get into the aquarium hobby? I've always wanted a pet, and after years i finally managed to convince my parents to buy me a tank ! (i was 7) i just wish i wasn't told lies, because even though i was very young i've always been caring for my fishes :(
