i can not imagine being proud of a set up like this. and yet it is Depressingly common. You have three Incredibly expensive fish that also happen to be extraordinarily aggressive in a tank that's on the small side for one of them. with an additional aggressive predator that's half the size of them and so likely to get mauled. and at least one ray that will outgrow that tank quickly.

and then on top of it all you have no substrate layer, and thus no where for the microbiome to set up and keep the tank stable following water changes, no enrichment, no line of sight breaks nowhere for any one of your incredibly aggressive fish to hide from eachother.

This is a tank that only looks stable because all the fish inside it are too stressed to risk attacking each other. but the Moment one of them starts showing weakness from the cortisol poisoning happening here the others will turn on them and the tank will collapse.

these are animals. They're not just decorations. If you want that aesthetic ™ just spend the money this nightmare cost you on a resin mount.

#im not giving this person a view so i cant identify that second bottom feeder there on the left #i also cant tell if this tank has a lid on it or not bc of the angle #arowana Jump. they jump at the slightest bit of stress. you need a net screen and a hood lid if you Really want to keep them safe #but clearly these are just disposable decorations to this fuck.#youtube wont stop recommending this genre of video bc if you like fish you must also like animal abuse apparently #but this is Extreme even for this category #animal abuse cw #to be clear for those not in the know: im thinking about going back to college. the estimated cost of me doing so is in that tank.
