Particularly on reddit.

Someone asked for help on a new fish and every comment went "2.5 gallons is way too small", mind you the user had a heater AND a filter! Which is awesome to start with.

We (the community i was with 10 yrs ago) never advertised to cycle every single tank unless there was a filter. Even then in-fish cycling was an option.

I have no idea why some people have decreed that the most evil sin is having an uncycled tank under 5 gallons. You really need to chill.

Betta keeping is a HOBBY. You are not being paid to slam people who are trying.

When i first started fishkeeping i had Buddha in a 1.5 gallon bowl with nothing but gravel and a single piece of decor. Had i been met with the amount of animosity i see on reddit i would have NEVER gotten another fish. Hell, i would have returned Buddha thinking that any decision i made at that point was bad and would have given up.

Its sad that the kindness that i met on the forums when i first started fishkeeping has turned into yelling at people because they don't have a 5 gallon tank or because they didnt sand down every item in their tank or they didn't research every bit of science that goes into fish keeping.

I started this account in August of 2012, back when i was only 19 and a sophomore in college. Its been 10 years since 😱
