Don't even bother, man. Hohol-worshippers can't be reasoned with, and they think studying history is evil because of White Supremacy or something.

Greyhounds have been horrifically abused but you rarely read about them killing humans.
If someone is being mauled by a dog (most likely a pit bull or related breed), informing them that the dog had been abused doesn't help them.
>>
>>4793898
Greyhounds weren't abused. They were neglected. Living in a tiny cage and getting sodomized/shit kicked out of you aren't the same thing.

If you're 5ft tall, you should be able to fit inside the aquarium. Just put it on its side and then pull the edge on top of you, like you're a turtle.
Then climb on the stand with the aquarium still on you - voila! Easy peasy!

I was considering some red lizard whiptails as an oto alternative for my tank that has a larger cichlid in it.
I heard they have nearly the same behavior as plecos though except for occasionally burrowing in sand.

>>4793825
I never made out that it was complicated and I'm not disagreeing with you that it's the best approach, it's that no matter how well intentioned someone is if they're new they'll run into issues and make mistakes and you're setting them up for failure by advocating that they don't do water changes. You absolutely can't tell people not to change water when you don't even know what substrate they're getting since every store is now upselling people onto aquasoil as soon as they mention plants. You have to assume that people won't be perfect, you can go no filter too but surely you wouldn't recommend that to someone starting out? It's the same idea. It's unlikely that someone will abandon the hobby because they have to spend 15 minutes a week changing water but if they have a green and brown unsightly mess they might.
>>
>>4793801
You do water changes in a stable aquarium to reset and renew the mineral balance of the water which get depleted by plants and livestock, to maintain specific parameters such as pH and TDS, and to remove organic compounds such as proteins, fats and such that aren't easily broken down by filtration. Having a regular water change schedule keeps parameters stable over a long term basis, something that's very important for most livestock and plants to keep them healthy. Pretty simple stuff.

And by the way, what's bigger - algae or a plant? What therefore needs more nutrients to live? It should be obvious that algae require infinitesimally less nutrients to reproduce. I have green algae on the bottom of my RO water can. The idea that algae are caused by excess nutrients is absolutely retarded. Green algae can appear anywhere there's a bit of light and red algae (BBA and Staghorn) are caused by decaying proteins, mostly released from plant metabolism or stress.

You are personifying in a retarded manner. All apes, and some monkeys, exhibit the aforementioned traits depending on the context. Your assertion is akin to astrology: Vague generalizations that apply to the vast majority of humans.
>>4792076
Myer-Briggs test is a psychoanalytical tool. The important bit being "tool." Without the proper knowledge or application, Myer-Briggs is psychology-coded astrology. Jung specifically mentioned it is flawed, incomplete, and generally to be used a tool or jumping off point. Something closer, and much more complex, to assigning "personality types" is utilizing Enneagramic (I subscribe to Claudio Naranjo) practices WHILE incorporating Myer-Brigs as a sort of "double check" or something to compare/contrast to. Keep an open mind, but not so open your brain falls out.
