Aquarium fishy

[HDRchampion]

Im not a big fan of pets at all. i just dont see the point in having one but my daughter has been bugging me forever...So i think we are going to go with with fishes for her birthday.

Is there particular brand aquarium that's good to buy. Are the ones in Petco w/ the stands any good?

If you have one, can you post it.

Fish are the most pussy pet you can buy. Okay for older people who want to silently zen out watching the fish swim around endlessly, but meaningless for a kid. Provides no companionship whatsoever. Zero fun, zero interaction. You can't even be sure the fish are aware you exist.

Get your kid a dog like a real parent.

Judas Priest, fishes. Even a turtle would be better. I guess your kid is lucky you didn't just decide to go for a tamagotchi. What, are you afraid a dog might mess up your precious statues? Fishes. Dad of the year over here.

The bigger the aquarium, the easier it is to care for.

Get a Labradoodle. Stupid name, but a good, medium-size dog. They can be indoors or outdoors, they're super smart and affectionate, they don't shed much or at all, they don't chew everything up, they don't shit all over everything. They will help your kids' emotional development so that they don't grow up dead inside and spend their lives needing to buy endless material possessions in a futile attempt to fill the hole inside themselves.

Tamagotchi, fucking lol!

But seriously HDR, whenever your kid wants to see a fish in a tank just take them to a real aquarium or a Chinese restaurant.

Actually I bought her nintendogs for a pet. She can get a dog when she moves out.

Going to the pet store tomorrow

I have a 100L tank on a stand with couple of tetras, mollies, cichlids and snails
Tetras are probably easiest of the ones we have, then cichlids.
Not familiar with any certain brand over the other one. Probably best to buy one with all included, heater, pump, filter. Would just at least recommend a glass tank over plastic

Wonder what it's like to be raised by a robot.

Go big or go home.

Lol this thread so far

STK is half right though - fish are a total waste of time for a kid, after a week she's going to side glance twice a year max, and you're left cleaning out the tank, replacing dead fish and wanking over pH levels.

The answer isn't a dog though. How old is the daughter? Can't you just brave it out until she leaves home? I bought my daughter a dog because she was going through some tough times and now she's going to university. This cunting thing is going to live for 15 years, I'm horrified.

Fish are a good idea. When she’s over it in a few weeks you can just flush the whole fucking lot down the toilet and repurpose the tank as storage.

Good shout. He could even fill the tank with Stingray dolls and make an underwater Gerry Anderson scene.

I think you uncovered his true motivation.

Truer words. Fish are awesome if you are super baller level and have a giant aquarium that you pay someone to maintain aside from that they're just a total pain in the ass. Your kid will loose interest and it will turn into a scum bucket in a matter of weeks. Even a small beginners tank has to be maintained more than you would imagine.

I have a 240 liter one. I would tell you more about it, but I think you're a stupid cunt, so I won't.

Just go buy some Aquaman dolls instead and then proceed to go fuck yourself.

what's with the oversized filter?

The bigger the aquarium, the easier it is to care for.

True. Anything under a 100 liters is bullshit anyway.

 

[Knud]

It is not only a filter, the pump is in it and the heater. But it is truly big, found a fish in it few days ago still alive

mine is like, half of that, pump and heater.

 

[famicommander]

Get a dog or a cat.

Fish aren't even pets. They're decorations that smell bad. Same with reptiles and most birds.

 

[radiantsvgun]

My wife never had a real pet until we got married and she regretted growing up without one. Get your daughter a dog or a cat, something she can interact with.

Fish for a kid is a lot of work with no real payoff for them.

Really? Havent really checked others how they are but now it bugs me

Fish would lick their own balls and each other's balls if they could

Fish can be chill, but the sound of the constant trickle of water does my head in...

You could've become the real life Blanka,, but instead you traded that life in exchange for polystone bubblebutt dolls.

Sad man, just sad.
