"One of our teachers ate bark..." Honestly, that sounds like a plus for a biology teacher. I have good memories of high school Biology class, since I had a teacher who was fairly passionate about it and Biology is the only one of the "hard sciences" that I find genuinely interesting. The subject which I consistently had the worst teachers in was History, including a college World History professor who straight up presented Evangelical conspiracy theories as historical fact. Oh, the joys of growing up in the American South.

Biology I always found easy. Cuz when u learn it, it makes sense so it sticks. But genetics in college is the reason why I switched my major from bio chem to just chemistry, cuz fck genetics.

I think a lot of people mistake "will survive" with "perfectly fine." You can keep fish in cups and bowls, with no heaters or filters, they'll survive, but their life will suck and they'll die young. "The pet store said I only need this cup because bettas breathe from the surface." I facepalm almost daily in this hobby.

My biology teacher was a pe teacher who didn't like me for some reason so I was the only one who had a D in class. Everyone else got a B or higher and she never explained why my score was bad.

And at the fish store he bought two lionhead goldfish and put them in.they ruined the tank. I did not know how to take care of them.

​@doreendehaan2187 they can get some oxygen through their skin as long as they stay wet (their gills kind of stick together out of water and become much less useful), but most fish aren't adapted to survive that way long term. I imagine it's like using a little straw as a snorkel, you're still alive but it just sucks.

Chris in 2020: Don't skip class! Chris in 2021: Except biology, biology teachers suck.

In defence of biology teachers: in middle school our biology room had an aquarium and it looked really beautiful and cared for. Don't know, who did take care of it but the fish did look well. Maybe a little overstocked but it also had life plants inside. And no rainbow gravel 😉

4:40 Most biology teachers know what fish need to live, but they won't give a damn about the care of it. I only one biology teacher that had a fish tank with proper filtration, taking measures of water quality and doing water changes. He was teaching us the nitrate cycle and fish scales. It was a very fun class.

I actually had a great biology 2 and chemistry teacher in high school. He was very blunt and was always happy. One thing I remember best was how he showed us pictures from every national park (he visited them all) and there was a glacier with a rope fence sign that warned about falling ice in one he said "without fail, people die at this location every year and purge the gene pool of stupidity, "survival of the fittest" will be on the test."

I can’t even keep 3 German rams in a 55 gallon long but dude had 3 in a like 10 gallon. What a legend

1:23 "these are FISH, you know..." Might be the best thing you have ever said. LMBO!

I like how you say that watching smart things almost makes you feel smart. That is my entire explanation for watching your videos. They are awesome and they almost make me feel awesome.

5:20 biology teachers are actually pretty chilled and know what they're talking about. I took ap bio last year and my teacher was so passionate about biology, knew it, loved teaching, and was always excited to be there in class....even tho it was on zoom..... with no one turning on their cameras.... and no one answering the questions.... or laughing at the jokes she made.... maybe that's why she liked the zoom class now i suddenly feel bad for her

Been watching your channel for a while but decided to take a break of internet for the day and enjoy my birthday, glad to see this as the first thing I come back too!

in the first first clip those are climbing perch, its a very common farm fish in south east Asia. judging by the size it could be a farmer stocking a pond

The only logical reason i can think of for someone to dump the fish out of water and let them flop to the water would be that because they have such a mass number, it allows them to single out the dead/ dying ones. The ones that are good to go get to the water, all they have to do is pick up the ones that didnt get there. Also: I had a biology teacher in like 8th grade and one of the kids was playing games and disrupting the class with it, and she threw the kid's laptop across the room and it broke. Idk if she ended up paying for the damages or not, but she was kinda crazy like that sometimes. She rode a motorcycle to school, so that was nice. XD

just to make my case for biology teachers. so mine knows nothing about fish, but she doesn’t keep any either, so I think that’s okay. when she taught us the nitrogen cycle, I suddenly shouted "that’s why fish need a filter!" before quickly going "sorry, couldn’t resist." she didn’t get upset at me for interrupting, instead she admitted "well I don’t know much about fish, it’s okay," and actually let me talk for a bit. I managed to get "a filter is needed for the build up of beneficial bacteria, to do all that ammonia to nitrite to nitrate stuff" to my class.

In the first clip those were climbing perch they are perfectly fine. They are native in my area and often come onto land on their own and I have heard that they can survive out of water for nearly 10 hours

When i first went to college, I went in as an education major, as i wanted to teach art and biology. Once i saw I'd be taking tons of classes on education and related topics, and basically no biology or art classes, i changed my major. Teachers don't know the subjects they teach because they arent inherently required to. They only need to know how to teach a subject, and unfortunately our education system seems to think regurgitating information off a PowerPoint slide is more than sufficient, no legitimate understanding of the topics you teach is needed. I have learned more from jobs, volunteering, books, and KZread than I ever did or ever can in a classroom setting.

4/5 for that tiny ass tank with rams and corys LOL, pass that blunt over here man.

Totally get what you mean about biology teachers. Some of them really don't know much about animals. I dealt with a guinea pig who had bumblefoot as a result of a bio teacher keeping him in a wire-bottomed cage. GP keepers KNOW that's a no-no, so a bio teacher should have known that before she included him in her classroom menagerie.

In 9th grade I had a science teacher that kept a turtle in very questionable conditions however at my school there is a biology teacher with a really cool fish tank that’s actually done right and he has lots of other cool pets that are kept well in his room but that’s the only biology teacher I’ve ever heard of who actually knows how to care for animals

My Biology Teacher was supper good, thought us really well despite having to memorize a lot of shit, like tissues, follicles, muscles etc, but I remember the lessons till this day.

there is a clear difference between knowledge and experience, because anyone with patience could learn to keep an aquarium healthy from try and error , but learning about fish keeping without doing it before hand is bad too so its best to have both knowledge and experience so do a lot of research minimum 4 hours before getting a new fish species then learn from your mistakes over time building up experience

I found a tank on KZread clips, posted it on ftr on petscord. It was a small tank, probably less than 10 gals, and a young arowana in it. Barely enough room for it to turn around.

Even I know about pythons. Fortunately had a very good biology teacher in college. The thing sucked about his class was that he didn't create his own exams his student who is majoring in biology did so nothing ever sounded or seemed like what it was in the book. To academic. I had to pray through that class and take it twice. Still remember what I learned

I wonder if the gourami was in QT? Still think that tank is too small, even for QT, but the tank it's in, doesn't look like it's actually scaped, maybe a picture background instead. Tank looks completely bare... Maybe even a salt or med dip? 🤷‍♀️

My biology teacher liked mushrooms. He even had some ergot mushrooms , that produced LSD (he didn't use it tho).

Serious question... that cylinder "aquarium" with fish I it. Would it even be suitable for a few shrimp OR something small that clings to the sides? In my experience, I've never seen a fish that only swims up and down. I'm asking because my idea for a channel is making suitable versions of unsuitable tanks. Like, a 20 gallon planted and filtrated betta bowl or a custom 10 gallon vodka bottle with a removable neck for proper fish care and maintenance. I think the cylinder MAY work with a 4ft long clear pipe turned on its side some shrimp, but even that wouldn't be easy to do in a comfortable way for anything you put in it.
