Aquariums - /r/Aquariums needs your help! (Mod applications)

/r/Aquariums needs your help! (Mod applications)

Posted: 30 Sep 2020 02:43 PM PDT

Hello everyone!

At the time of posting, we have 322k subscribers on /r/Aquariums, and a not insignificant number of subscribers on our child subreddits, /r/ShittyAquariums, /r/AquariumMemes, /r/Awwquariums, and /r/Artquariums. Our small mod team can hardly keep up any more! This is both great, and really, really bad! We feel as though we aren't giving our community the best possible experience in these subreddits. Because the subreddits are growing, we need the moderator team to grow accordingly. On top of that, we also like community input to keep improving the subreddits.

New moderators!

There is currently a lapse in moderator coverage during a pretty active time on the subreddits. We have decided to not make that specific time period public yet, but just know that we are looking for specific availability. You can also apply without prior moderator experience, since we've "trained" other moderators before, including me! I think that I've turned out alright.

If you want to apply for the moderator position, we ask you to modmail us the following information with the title "MODERATOR APPLICATION". Please note that we get a lot of mail, so please use the proper title.

  1. What is your experience in fishkeeping?
    How long have you been fishkeeping? What fish do you specialize in?

  2. Do you have prior experience modding?
    Have you modded anywhere else (reddit, forums, facebook, etc)? If so, for how long?

  3. What timezone are you in?
    What times are you usually active on Reddit (in EDT and CEST)?

  4. Why should you be a mod?
    Why do you want to be a mod of this community? What can you add to the mod team?

If you do not submit the application via modmail and/or you do not use the application form, your application will be ignored. We also require moderators to install Slack, as that's being used to communicate between the moderators. The application period ends on the 18th of October.

Community input

Besides the moderator stuff, we also want to use this post as a discussion post about the subreddit itself. Do you guys have any ideas on changes we could make? Or AMA ideas with people we could reach out to?

We also want to remind everyone that you're free to draft wiki pages and send them to us, so we can add them to the wiki after discussing them. We've already had some wiki pages that we've added, but there can always be more.

And last but not least we want to thank everyone in this community. We've grown a lot and are still growing a lot, but the community has only become better, more experienced, and friendlier to newcomers.

So thank you!

-The r/Aquariums mod team.

anyone else get dreams where they find a tank they've neglected so long they forgot it existed?

Posted: 16 Oct 2020 09:06 PM PDT

i get these dreams every now and then where i find a tank with fish that i've completely neglected and i can't even believe they're still alive. it's a really distressing dream because neglect is abuse so basically i've been abusing a bunch of animals. even in the dreams, i'm horrified. then i'm so desperate to do something to make it better but my dream won't let me. even if i try to do a water change or something, all i have is dirty water to fill the tank back up. it's like how, if you really have to pee in real life, you might be on the toilet in a your dream but the bladder pressure never goes away. my brain just wants me to feel like a horrible monster and has no interest in letting me resolve that.

Every once in a while, we get a mating pair of cichlids at the pet store I work for and I think it’s fascinating watching them.
