Personally I don't think artificial decorations are always a telltale sign people can't take care of animals, it's a telltale sign people can't take care of plants. And as somebody who owns both pets and house plants I can say that those things can get tricky, also if you have had pests in any of your planter tanks, specifically terrariums. Then there is a period of time where you have to use fake plants while you are treating the live ones or replacing them

11 ай бұрын
@@EmileBone So it's not the pineapple house specifically, it's the fact that all the decor in that tank is fake. Because, as a hobbyist you are trying to recreate semi-natural conditions for whatever animal is in your vivarium. Real plants enhance water quality, prevent algae growth by using nutrients produced by fish waste and uneaten food. They also produce oxygen and help stabilize pH. They make your life a whole lot easier and an artificial tank loses all those benefits for what really amounts to no good reason since plants are kinda cheap and easy to maintain. Fake plants with sharp bits also have a reputation of tearing the fins of fish with more delicate fins like beta fish or fancy goldfish. And then as for the Sponge Bob theme... It just comes across as the person not being a hobbyist so much as a SpongeBob fan and that leads to questions about the quality of care the fish are receiving. Like, how are they managing nitrate levels with all that unhelpful plastic in there? It's baffling honestly. The one saving grace is that there seems to be few fish in there which means the bioload is small, but I can't tell if that's an intentional choice or not. So it's just a really fucking weird tank lol. Sorry for rambling, hope that was helpful

Fast growing floater plants like anachris and water sprite, paired with a hella lot of duckweed. Duckweed will grow insanely quickly once established, enough that goldfish probably won’t leave a mark.

Let's all start well maintained artificial tanks for the fish tank reviews
It's one of the best spongebob tanks i've ever seen. They didn't even use fruity pebble gravel XD
ya know even if i have artificial decor cause i’m too lazy to take care of real plants i still gave my goldfish a amazing setup in my eyes, they got a 100 gallons of water and a fx 6 filter which i use on both my tanks and honestly they seem happy they’re growing giant and it’s awesome to see them go from feeder fish to real pets i love my animals and will always take awesome care for them. love your vids and keep them up man!!!
It's tough to take care of a planted tank. Period not everyone is good at it.
My little beta had a squidward house and he loved sleeping in it. Hed pop his head out of the window when I got up in the morning. He did have several live plants, a leaf hammock, I definitely think you can mix and match fake and live aquarium setups, just depends on personal preference imo and if you are educated in looking after your fish
I think artificial decorations are perfectly fine. Plastic plants I’ve learned to not like as much, but man-made decorations can often complement a planted setup well. My planted tank has a Squidward house and a plastic log in addition to real driftwood and plants, it’s all about how you do it and what species you’re housing
Ah, yes, because we all know, taking care of animals and taking care of plants, same exact skillset.

It fundamentally is, though. You have to learn what the organism needs to thrive and you provide that.

Artificial plants and themed decorations arent a tell-tale sign of bad fish/tank owners, but it definitely is more common for bad fish owners to have brightly colored, vibrant fake plants and decor to match. It can also just be that the person doesn't want to or struggles with taking care of real plants, or they just really like the idea of decorating the tank a certain way. :)

I use artificial plants but they're silk or really soft/thin plastic. I do have duckweed though. I have all the needed equipment. Filter, heater, aeration, lots of hiding spaces. Its a 10 gallon fraternity guppy/endler tank. Theres enough of them to equal out the aggression between all of them. Their fins are not all torn up or anything. They're all very lively and they actually don't hide very often. Not all artificial decor tanks are bad! ❤
My betta watching me from her psychedelic 70's living room themed tank Me: what? It looks cool-
My cousin had a custom 250 sunken ship tank for a Arowana, he liked to say that the fish sank it, it had some live plants and soft substrate
My fish eat any plant I put in it. If I feed them more to prevent them from eating the plants they will get fat. I have artificial plants to get the hiding places some of my fish need that are very rounded/not sharp.
Bro, your balance of accountability and acknowledgment is ridiculous ❤
I have fake plants in my aquarium because my crawfish doesn’t really care about the plants. I mainly have a bunch of rocks for him to hide. I think he’s happy
It looks perfect for a single stag horn snail I suppose
My fish has destroyed my every attempt at adding natural plants that root into the substrate (I have live plants on the surface though) but she gets anxious if there's NO plants (even though she's huge she still gets scared when I move) so I just try to get soft fabric fake plants to minimize the risk.
I'm brand new to this hobby. I don't exactly know what I'm doing when it comes to the live plants so that's why I use artificial plants
The second one doesn’t have room for a pump or filter! And with the number of fish In that tank, ammonia is going to skyrocket and the ph of the water will go insane.

There’s a serious snobbery in the fish keeping realm about using fake decor. To some extent I get why but it’s hard to not feel like you’re a bad fish keeper if you use anything fake. I have heavily planted tanks cause me and the fish both like them but my bristlenose gets grumpy without his little barrel to sit in and my synodontis totally took over the shipwreck I put in for them temporarily and they absolutely love it.

The only piece of artificial decor in my 20gal planted betta tank was a small mushroom Smurf’s house. It was gifted to me by my grandmother when she heard I was preparing a planted tank and I just couldn’t say no. Luckily, there was no sharp edges for my betta to cut his fins on and it fit in to the plants well. looked like it was in a little forest under the driftwood (plus it was my bettas favorite spot to hang out) ;>
I have quite a big tank, and 1 plastic thing. But i also have rocks, seashells and live plants.
My little brother wanted a spongebob themed aquarium for his betta. Originally he picked out a 1 gallon with tons of fake plants, ugly blue and orange gravel and the obligatory spongebob decorations. When he brought it home i was luckily able to talk him out of it. We kept the spongebob decor but got a nice 5 gallon with all the right tools and substrate. I did a beautiful live plant aquascape but made the focal point spongebob and squidwards houses. You can definitely make a fun kids aquarium while still keeping it naturalistic for the fish (and aesthetics)
I bought an axolotl and asked about the plants, the lady at the store advised not to get a living plant, as it will spread out and be too much. It depends on the aquarium size and the fishes inside.
The truth is that some ceramic ornaments are perfectly safe while others leach fish toxic heavy metals as the glaze dissolves. Any object produced to be 'dinnerware safe' will be suited as an aquarium decoration.

Curved glass should never house ANY fish!! No matter how big. Curved glass affects their eyes and brains, it’s like looking thru a magnifying glass every day of your life. It’s one of the most inhumane things you can do for a fish.

Bri, that wasn't a tank, that was a vase!
They just tossed those poor tiny fish into that teeny tiny tank like they were nothing 😢
It depends on what tank setup you go with. When i owned a fish i used a filler and aerator with bubbler so i used fake plants
Artificial decor and the hollow cost have a lot in common.
some decorations are necessary as hiding spots for certain fish. I bought several spond Bob stuff because it was the only thing available.
I like a good mix of some artificial items and real plants in the tank
I’m helping to set up a tank for my young niblings (due to allergies they can’t have any mammals or birds). Some ridiculous fake decor will help to keep their interest high but it will also have live plants for a better habitat…baby steps… I’m personally a fan of heavily planted tanks that are more of an underwater garden than a fish tank
I got my fish at a fair, he loves his pineapple spongebob house. Its hilarious when hes inside peeping out the windows at me.
The one "tank" just straight up looks like a cup or vase I really hope they weren't actually kept in that
Also, notice how there's no filter in the second tank and they didn't acclimate the fish.
I was gonna say, that second one doesnt even look like a tank. Bro, thats just a big cup. 😂
I’m getting ready to get a tank and never thought about the artificial plants being to sharp 😮
I have artificial plants, they do look good and my tank is maintained and not overstocked either
The way they just dumped the fish in too... You're supposed to get them acclimated to the water first...
The only flaw i have on the artificial tank is that ive seen about 3 videos of fish getting stuck in the spongebob house windows
If done correctly, Artificial decor can be benefitial for the animals, as it can be a hiding spot or a place to hide from the light if needed. But small space can never be made good.
I own artificial decorations in my tank because my fish is stressed while in darker tank and it helps me have the tank light and make it more different than the ones I brought them from (I brought them from dark and overcrowded tank full of parasites and fin rot and swim bladder and they were stressed in natural looking tank so I needed to make my tank exactly opposite of that)
i have a pond out back (all natural with the filters and stuff, the fish really like the currents) and the first one put me into shock. absolutely no way
My grandmother used to have a huge fish tank with castles that were carved from actual stones.
I just like the classic castle and maybe treasure chest.
Only thing I’d stock for that lil jar is some microorganisms or smth. Daphnia, scuds, or maybe a few fairy shrimp of a smaller species. (And don’t judge me, I think scuds are pretty cute 😭)

Nothing wrong with fake decor so long as it doesnt have any sharp parts c: I definitely would get silk plants over plastic and as for decor just try to find some without sharp edges and sand it down to be extra safe. Ive even heard of some people using panthose and running it across/through decor as to determine if it would catch on your fish's fins !!
That's not even a tank, that's a cup
All those fish are so cramped in the natural tank, they might have a bit of lowkey trauma.
The choice of ornaments has nothing to do with the level of care. 😂😂😂
i had a small aquarium. i had one fake plant in there. not because i didnt know how to take care of it, but because i didnt want my little fish to eat it. i just put some rocks, a small plant, and a single fish in the aquarium and wanted it to stay like that. fish died about a year in, and i gave away the aquarium with the rocks and the plant. now i look after some cats.
when i had a betta fish it had plastic plants because we didn’t know how to take care of water plants. We still don’t, but the betta loved the plastic plants he could easily go in and out of them and they weren’t sharp at all
