Just watched a fishTuber call small fish (CPD's, cories) "girly fish"

Like.

Yeah, you're right, keeping nano fish directly affects your masculinity.

Men are only allowed to keep monster fish in tanks they can barely turn around in, no decor (decor is also girly) and must only feed them live food, while recording it and going 'yeah, YEAH, eat that fish projection of my masculinity and direct relation to the size of my junk!'

Fucking ridiculous.

10 Reasons Keeping Aquariums Helps To Improve Your Life!

In this video, I’ll be sharing 10 reasons why keeping aquariums can significantly improve your quality of life! From disconnecting from technology to expressing creativity, the aquarium hobby offers unique benefits that extend beyond just keeping fish.

One of the main reasons I got back into the aquarium hobby is that it allows me to disconnect from technology. In today’s world, we’re constantly surrounded by screens—whether for work, socializing, or entertainment. While some aspects of the hobby involve research and tech, for the most part, you can simply sit back and enjoy your tank without a device in hand. Personally, I enjoy spending time maintaining my tanks on Sundays, trimming plants and doing water changes, as a refreshing break from screens.

Another reason I believe keeping aquariums can improve your life is through creative expression. While aquascaping gets most of the attention in this regard, even a basic planted tank allows for creativity with different plant colors, shapes, and sizes. You can also get creative with rocks, driftwood, and the vibrant fish, shrimp, or snails that complement your plants. I’ve recently started experimenting with aquascaping, but I’m especially drawn to creating aesthetic Walstad method tanks as part of my future goals.

Aquarium keeping is also highly customizable. Whether you’re into aquascaping, shrimp keeping, or even rare snail collections, you can tailor your approach to suit your preferences. You can choose between low-tech setups like mine, which avoid CO2 injection, or high-tech setups with expensive equipment. From nano tanks to monster fish tanks, the possibilities are endless, allowing you to shape the hobby into what best fits your lifestyle.

For those on a budget, aquarium keeping offers plenty of affordable options. I’m a big fan of shrimp jars, which are inexpensive and simple to set up. I also have a pearlweed jungle tank that was set up for under £100, which I use for shrimp, but others have used similar setups for bettas. You can still enjoy the beauty of aquariums without breaking the bank, and I’ve linked a few of my setup videos in the description for those interested.

One of the most rewarding aspects of the hobby is the sense of accomplishment you get from solving problems. I’ve had ongoing issues with my Orange Neocaridina shrimp tank, but after finally seeing females carrying eggs, it gave me an incredible sense of achievement. For newcomers, there are beginner-friendly setups, but as you progress in the hobby, overcoming challenges becomes a truly fulfilling experience.

Keeping aquariums also offers a connection to nature, bringing a piece of the natural world into your home. Whether you’re caring for fish, shrimp, snails, or aquatic plants, you’re essentially creating a living ecosystem. In today’s fast-paced, tech-heavy world, this connection to nature can be incredibly grounding and fulfilling.

Breeding is another exciting aspect of the aquarium hobby. I’ve mostly focused on breeding shrimp so far, but next year, I plan to breed Medaka and possibly experiment with breeding Corydoras and Harlequin Rasboras. Breeding your own fish or shrimp deepens your connection to the creatures in your tank and adds another layer of accomplishment.

Recently, several Fishtubers have been talking about how keeping aquariums has helped their mental health. With mental health issues on the rise, sitting and watching your aquarium can provide a much-needed escape and relaxation at the end of a stressful day. I’ve found this personally true, and I believe it’s one of the hobby’s most overlooked benefits.

Another often overlooked aspect is the sense of community within the aquarium hobby. Whether through local fishkeeping clubs or online communities, you can connect with other hobbyists, share tips, and learn from each other. Specialist stores like Horizon Aquatics also host workshops and meetups, offering even more opportunities to engage with fellow enthusiasts.

Fishkeeping in Asia

Chinese aquarium markets have the vibe of a silk road bazaar. You rarely see what you and I call fish stores. Instead, you see rows of vendors in underground alleys, each specializing in a specific species or equipment set. Men selling aquascaping rock, women holding up lengths of Malaysian driftwood. You’ve got your discus guys, your cichlid hawkers, and then those who deal in Asian Arowana—the last dragons in China. My girlfriend—Shelly—lives with me in Shenzhen, and she insisted on coming to Honghu Aquarium market. She worried I wouldn’t say “有点贵” forcefully enough. (Translation: “it’s too expensive.” A phrase you must repeat constantly when haggling in China.) I speak Chinese at the level of a semi-intelligent six-year-old. So I was happy to let Shelly do the talking. She has a passion for bargaining, even on things with set prices—like restaurant menus. I once heard her negotiating the price of noodles. Our fishkeeping brethren in China build their tanks upside down. They put the sump on top of the aquarium instead of beneath it. Generally, this sump covers the full length of the hood and doubles as a lid. Many Chinese fish keepers I know live in fear their fish will jump. That heavy sump gives them peace of mind. If a Super Red jumps, that’s a lot of money flopping on the floor. However, many Chinese aquarists lean toward the opposite extreme. They leave their tanks uncovered out of superstition—the fish might need to send them a message one day. Every fish seller in China tells the story of the Malaysian businessman and his Asian arowana. In the story, the man and his fish share a special bond. One day, a business associate invited him to make a risky investment. The day before closing the deal, the arowana jumped out and died on the floor. He believed the fish killed itself to prevent the deal. A few months later the company he’d considered investing in folded. This story has many variations—sometimes the man is Japanese, sometimes it’s a Super Red, but the moral remains the same. The fish saved the man’s business. Here, anything red demands a higher price. Pigeon blood discus, chili reds, red mushroom coral, even arapaima with especially vibrant tails. The color is embedded in China’s cultural psyche. During Spring Festival, people exchange red packets of money and hang red paper cuttings on their doorways. In traditional weddings, Chinese brides don’t wear white, they wear red. When I first moved to China four years ago, I bought an upside-down aquarium. For freshwater, these are better than any Western-style aquarium. The pump pulls water from the bottom, zips it to the mini-sump, and then it flows back in. A clean and efficient system, perfect for a bare bottom tank. However, I wanted to keep coral this time and needed a Western-style setup. Shelly finagled, bargained, and then feigned a walkaway. By the end of it, the vendor offered us a 100-liter system for 800 yuan. (About $125 USD.) It included the tank, light, stand, sump, and pump. I would've preferred a larger aquarium, but I have limited space. Shelly and I live in a studio. Additionally, I prefer glass aquariums. Call me old fashioned, but glass just feels better. But we have to carry it to the fifth floor (no elevator), so I decided acrylic was more pragmatic. I paid while Shelly told the vendor we’d pick it up next week. Later that evening, while ambling Shenzhen’s alleyways, I stumbled into one of those rare standalone fish stores. Except for the labels written in Chinese and the Buddhist shrine in the corner, it reminded me of an American LFS. The owner—who I call Mr. Li—welcomed me into his shop. He soon offered me a great deal on a used 100-liter cube. 300 yuan—about $45—for the tank, stand, sump, and pump. When I heard the price, I wanted it. But I'd already promised my money to another. I thanked Mr. Li and left his store. I tried to forget the cube. It was heavy, impractical, and didn’t come with a light. But it was glass, high-quality, and perfect for a nano reef. Shelly messaged the vendor in Honghu to request a refund. When they returned my money, I went straight to Mr. Li to purchase the cube. That trip became the subject of my first video. Afterward, I collected all the bits and bobs needed for the setup. Mr. Li ordered the light—a Chinese brand called Sunpolar. It’s a fine piece of equipment with this quirky thing called “lighting mode." Hit that button and it flashes like a strobe light. I ordered the rest of my gear off Taobao, China’s equivalent to Amazon. I ordered a Sunsun powerhead, an Aquasyncro protein skimmer, and a heater. I'm unsure what brand —it's in Chinese. People hate on Chinese made stuff, but everything I bought, especially the protein skimmer, was top notch. It fits perfectly in my five-gallon sump. As for the powerhead, you get a lot of flow for $3. When was the last time you got a powerhead that cheap? After filling it, I visited Mr. Li to buy live rock. (I had installed a RO/DI filter under my sink and used a Chinese brand of reef salt.) Mr. Li sold cured rock for about $1.25 a pound. I purchased ten kilos in total. When I told Shelly how much I paid, she said, “just for rocks?”

In my next post, I will go discuss my plans for training the fish, and the coral I bought for the aquarium.

I love Flight Rising so much and I’m so happy to get back into it but good lord in heaven my lair is always full and I’m always sitting here like “Hm,,, how can I make this exact thing work but on Spiral dragons...” like I keep trying to save up to put actual genes on my progenitors or have Mirrors in my main bloodline with actual cool things going on but I mean...

look at my twisty curvy worm children I love them sm...I’m finally even breeding some with my favorite gene (ghost)...I cannot escape them.
