Tensions in my Fish tank!

[DeathFromBelow]

Not sure what kind they are but they are long and sleek with a sort of tiger pattern on them.

Yeah, good luck with that.

You mean the "arms fully extended to make the fish look as big as possible" thing?

Slap a slice of cheese on your forehead. You'll start feeling better, I promise.

Go down to your local fish store and buy 2 Oscars and toss 'em in the tank. In a day or two , you will have two well fed healthy fish.

Once had a dobie who thought if she couldn't see us we couldn't see her. She would stick her head behind a bush and think she was invisible.

As to the fish question.

I think the hardy survivor type wild caught fish should be in charge and lazy socialist farm raised fish who just want to live unmolested should have their welfare cut so they will get off their lazy anal fins and start acting more like patriotic members of your little fish society. But hey, if they can't cut it, too bad, if only half the fish are working it's impossible to expect those hard working few to support the dead wood, or in this case, fish, who refuse to get into the fight for their own survival. Besides what good is a bunch of pacifist fish?

Whatever you do, DO NOT let those wimpy non aggressive fish run things. If you do it will only be a short time before all the fish money is gone and the wimpy, non working socialist fish will be taxing the hard working patriotic fish to death, and what's the point in working hard if the fruits of their labor only goes to support the weak sisters in your little fish society.

Or it could be...

Wild born fish have a built in survival instinct that farm raised fish lose in just a few generations. IF you never have to work for your food, pretty soon you forget how, especially if your brain is smaller than the average pinhead.

I once thought I'd save some money by catching the live fish my (large) African cichlids required so I walked down to the local small pond and caught up 6 little bream for a first meal. I quarantined them for a week to make sure they were clean then introduced them to my African family. Imagine my surprise when I checked about an hour later and found the much smaller bream tearing my big azzed highly agressive african cichlids to pieces.

Sorry, Oscars, and most other SA members of the cichlid family are just wimpy cousins of the African varieties. The only exceptions I ever found are BIG Jack Dempsey's and Rio Grande Perch. A breeding pair of firemouths will do OK, but alone with their African cousins they will wind up finless on the bottom waiting to die.

Fish belong on sandwiches, not in tanks. There's your problem.

What's your self-reported IQ again?

 

[mellowinman]

1. If you tell women a 4" fish is a foot long, you will never date
2. Never put fish in a tank. I usually put mine in a humvee
3. The correct way to count fish is, "one fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish"
5. Live fish are hard to care for. All the fish in my house are frozen
9. Although a fish is not a Llama, not all Llamas are not Llamas
6. All I can say is Love Stinks

Your thoughts are very organized today. Structured.

...My IQ was established at 125...

And...

I was tested several times because I scored a 192 on my first attempt. After 3 more tests with all scores being within 2 points of the original they set me at 190. I got a ton of brains, but I'm sorely lacking in social skills and have papers to prove I'm am an asocial variety sociopath. After all these years I've decided an IQ score is not worth the paper it's printed on. If it had any real world value I'd have my own personal volcano lair and a lazar on the moon for blackmailing the governments of the world. Instead I'm just an ordinary alcoholic who has been sober for a number of years and happy to just be able to get up and about every day.

I thought some self hate would be appreciated the way the forum leans.

That was actually racism.

And I thought we were talking about a fish tank.

It's a metaphor. It's not meant to be taken literally.

That I know - we were swimming a little far afield with some of those comments. There's OT, and there's OT.
