Know you have sinned and know you are not good in God’s eyes. Forsake meaning as in try your absolute best to not sin. We have to be clean and filled with the Holy Spirit.

    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

    • @carlinkag2525
      @carlinkag2525 Год назад +79

      @@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

    Most artifical decorations for fish tanks actually has a paint on it that is toxic for fish, it comes off after being in water for awhile. It might not be visible in the waters coloring but it can harm the fish, before I knew this my fish died because I had artificial decorations

    The only tank I have artificial decoration in is my 5 US Gallon quarantine tank, and it’s a log for a hiding space and a silk fern with a weighted bottom. I use the tank for my betta for when they’re sick or I get a new one. I just got a rescue and he’s hanging out in it while I treat his fin rot and get some weight on him

    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) ;>

    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)

Which if you didn't place the SpongeBob house correctly the fish sometimes would get stuck under the houses and get hurt.
