What is wrong with people who keep big predators (rant)

Posted: 24 Aug 2020 04:00 AM PDT

Whenever I see people posting photos of tanks with big predators in them (oscars/peacocks/Arowana/gar/stingray etc) why is it that every single one of the tanks is literally just an overstocked glass box with no scape whatsoever and just a sandy bottom. Surely the only interesting thing those fish have to do is to eat the chopped up beef heart their owner probably feeds them? It must be very boring and super stressful for fish that are usually solitary predators to be forced into a tank with 30 other solitary predators and absolutely nowhere to hide? Idk it just seems wrong.

Changing Substrate

Posted: 24 Aug 2020 05:37 AM PDT

Hello,

So currentky I have a 60 litter (almost 16 gallons if i'm not mistaken) aquarium, with only small fancy goldfish and a nerite snail.

I also have an anubia, tied to a rock, some java fern, tied to a log, and as "substrate", I have some small pebbles.

Overall, I don't like to look of my aquarium.

So I was thinking of changing substrate and adding more plants, the thing is to change substrate I will have to temporary remove the fish and snail, but I don't have where to put them for a long period of time.

I was researching my options, sand and soil will leave the water looking dirty/foggy for some days, while gravel, as long you properly rinse it, will not (again I might be mistaken on this).

So to sum it up, Will I be able to change my substrate to gravel and on the same day get my fish back on the aquarium?

IF yes, what type of gravel would be the best and how much of it would i need?

Some good plants to go with gravel?

Thanks a lot for the help! (and sorry for the broken english)
