Fish don't like to be moved

Sacrenos: guppies and goldfish in the same tank? That will be a goldfish only tank very fast.
KV1NN4: thats way too many goldfish D:
Sacrenos: @KV1NN4 These tanks are too small for any amount of gold fish...
KV1NN4: I think one was fine for at least 1 specific type
Rourke9: fistory
Sacrenos: goldfish are community fish that shouldn't be kept alone long term, and since goldfish are actually just carp, and can easily get over a foot long, you need a massive tank to keep goldfish long term.
RealGamerCow: yo I was flaring so hard
KV1NN4: @Sacrenos true...
KV1NN4: I hope bigger tank options or ponds become available
Alephred:
@Sacrenos What a load of carp!
RealGamerCow: Is there a budget in this game?
Rourke9: @KV1NN4 the presence of 'monster fish' which cant be kept in the largest size we had available implies much larger tanks
ladyjessica:
ugh I wish I could use my prime sub on mobile 
ladyjessica:
but this looks cool
TheAwkes: Hungry fish get mean is a hell of a tooltip.
squidddo: i guess it's interesting to see whether the game builds on a dev's genuine interest and indepth knowledge, or on more like... common misconceptions

RealGamerCow: Chat, if you really want to go to sleep fast, have a tea of 1 part mint, one part lavender. Knockout juice.
empyreon:
Sacrenos: betta fish are amazing and really cool, but they have a manual, mostly 1: keep them alone in a tank that is not too big, and has a lot of plants, and 2: they breath air, and get sick if the air temp is significantly different than the water temp, so always have a lid on your tank.

RealGamerCow: Sacrenos I worked with a person that had a Betta in a *very* densely filled with plants globe tank and it was happy for 8 years. I was really surprised it survived in an office building like that.
Sacrenos: @RealGamerCow bettas love plants and small water volumes that are quite stagnant. In the wild, bettas live in puddles, jumping from puddle to puddle. If 2 males meet, they will fight to the death. if a male and female fish meet, they will lay eggs and the male will chase away the female again.
dumbo3k: How do you know when enough food is enough? Well, if you are my dad, he fed them everytime he walked past, because they always followed him. Those fish had him trained very well
KV1NN4: Puddles"

Rourke9: so if anyone walks by the Moscone Convention Center during GDC in a few weeks, if you hear the sound of screaming dont worry about us we're all Fine

RandomTrivia: You have become the fish
PixelArtDragon: Are we all not in a fishtank of our own design?
TS_Terrapin: no, no, I'm *listening* to you watch your fishtank
Boopity: The fish are not weighed down by useless human notions of "having something to do"
Gekyouryuu: "what are you doing?" "I'm watching my fish tank. they usually play DPS, and I want to support their decision to try other classes."
The_Myrdin: Maybe keep the Khornate Bloodworms away from our peaceful tank?
The_Myrdin: Khorne will turn the water to blood
The_Myrdin: and make it hard to see the fish
Rourke9: I love aging my friends my referring to Foo Fighters as “dad rock”
squidddo: dont like that song quite as much since finding out it doesnt go "welcome to the jungle, we got funny names"
Gekyouryuu: now I'm just remembering the Kidz Bop parody I saw once where adult bands sang kid songs to the tune of regular songs, like Pearl Jam singing Old MacDonald, or Guns and Roses singing "Welcome to McDonald's"
The_Myrdin: A real toadstool would turn to mush in a day underwater. They're very much not marine fungi

Lord_Hosk: Real fishtanks aren't this finiky... Well I guess they are but not this persistently finiky. You get a chance to enjoy in between the finik
Lord_Hosk: Goldfish are filthy filthy animals
veelofar: goldfish require at least a five gallon tank for one or two
SquareDotCube: yeah they'll eat their own poop if you don't filter
Digigoner: A single goldfish will grow to fill the space it's in, though. Had one get to the size of a softball...
KV1NN4: Goldfish can't help that they evolved to be poop machines
KV1NN4: @Digigoner no that's how big they're supposed to get
KV1NN4: @Digigoner They don't 'grow to fit' it's jsut most people don't know how big they actually get
Mathwyn: 90% bladder by weight
LordZarano: Bred for their pee?
veelofar: it’s actually not true that they grow to their tank, it’s simply that if they aren’t given enough space their growth is stunted and they’re less healthy
SquareDotCube: next thing you'll know we'll have taught shrimp how to fry rice
KV1NN4: @Digigoner If they don't 'grow to fit' aka die within 3-5 years, its because the conditions were bad and they didn't have enough space to thrive
Mathwyn: An ill tyranid?
KV1NN4: some goldfish get over 10 inches long
veelofar: it’s like if you trap a dog in a small box, that dog may not grow to its full size due to stress and malnutrition from being unable to eat due to that stress
veelofar: same thing with goldfish
Lord_Hosk: Chat isn't lying, Goldfish are just nasty poo machines that grow and grow and grow, a common goldfish's "full size" is 10-12 inches in length but few ever get that large because they are small tanks and they die from being dirty dirty poop monsters.
KV1NN4: @veelofar I actually found a puppy liek that once, poor thing had been ina cramped space for most of its life til that point it coudln't walk properly (he got better after we took him in)

SquareDotCube: overnight trains are great, if you ask me. Just make sure to have someone more spry to take the top bunk
veelofar: it’s also worth noting that goldfish are cold water fish, while most household fish are tropical or warm water fish, which is one of the reasons they don’t go well with lots of typical fish habitat plans
veelofar: cold water causes lots of the chemicals the goldfish produce to sink more than warm water
QuixoticScrivener: I’m here for games, not education.
KV1NN4: I'm hear to be edutained!
SquareDotCube: they probably want somewhere to hide
veelofar: I love talking about proper fish care! I’m a biologist that wants to start my own petshop
KV1NN4: @veelofar omg hope you can get that!
veelofar: it’s very expensive, though. x.x
SquareDotCube: a toad?
KV1NN4: @veelofar yeeah...
veelofar: oh! would you like some suggestions?
veelofar: micro tanks are super cool!
veelofar: basically, you’d be trying to recreate a tide pool style situation
SquareDotCube:
tidal pool? so... 
?
Lord_Hosk: So much asparagus... that tank smells like fish pee
Mathwyn: More fish, more!
veelofar: there’s a species of micro puffer that’s extremely good at cleaning small tanks called the Dwarf Puffer. they eat snails, which also serve as a self renewing food source to a degree
SquareDotCube: yeah cats do tend to be better with one or two along them
KV1NN4: dwarf puffers are so cute
veelofar: I helped set someone up with one of those when their tank got taken over by an invasive snail population and killed her fish
KV1NN4: if I do well with my eventual betta, i hope to try one of those
veelofar: we turned the problem into a good solution
SquareDotCube: kinda obvious but what about a hermit crab?
Asimech: Amartha?
LordZarano: Like the legal requirements for food production "Not no poop, but less"
Raincoast_Bear: Martha!? Why did you say that name?
veelofar: I like hermit crabs. they squeak very cutely when they’re happy
iris_of_ether:
KV1NN4: i miss my hermit crabs (had a mite infestation that got out of control so fast... then I moved and jsut haven't had a chance again)
KV1NN4: Duckweed................. is usually just fine until it's a problem
veelofar: honestly, the sheer number of micro tank options available that are healthy for the fish just make me sad to see Betas put in micro tanks.
veelofar: there’s so many good micro tank setups
KV1NN4: yeah o.<;
MrQBear: Wait, is that fishtank standing in a pool of water, in a spooky woods?
QuixoticScrivener: I love the implication that the one tank is just in a serene wooded glade.
Asimech: @KV1NN4 Yeah, you really need to make sure the ducks have other recreational options and good mental healthcare.
KV1NN4: @Asimech LOL XD
Featherweight_: thats such a good rock. I respect that rock.
veelofar: I love tetras. they’re another good micro tank fish. also, I love the thick plants there for them to hide in. it makes them more comfortable
QuixoticScrivener: I wonder how they handle fish aggressiveness. Has anyone turned this into an exotic fish combat simulator with an arena tank?
veelofar: arena tank? all you need is an Oscar and anything else. XD
KV1NN4: lol XD
veelofar: I’ve seen an Oscar attack a pleco four times its size before. the pleco was not impressed
thefaintsmilee: Sorry if this has been asked, but is there a tank in any of LRR?
thefaintsmilee: Due to the electrical usage?
Juliamon: Just reptile/amphibian tanks I think
SquareDotCube: just add it to the list - get the office a fish tank
veelofar: just let me know if my infodumping becomes disruptive.
QuixoticScrivener: my house is basically a cat tank
iris_of_ether: Oh no
Featherweight_: the gift of More work
SkylerRingtail: First the office needs to properly care for the mold colony living in the back of the fridge
SquareDotCube: believe it or not there is businesses out there that will maintain your tank
thefaintsmilee: Bahahahha
KV1NN4: you'd need a professional to set up a low-tech tank with a big set of instructions and schedules
thefaintsmilee: Cam, why are they banned?
iris_of_ether: Sometimes I consider getting hermit crabs or shrimp, briefly before I consider continuing to be lazy
Mathwyn: Just think of the one episode of commodorhustle material you could get from having a fishtank!
SquareDotCube: got too far from the school
veelofar: not enough hiding places
SquareDotCube: I'm thinking we need one of those hollow rocks
JonnyGlitched: Hello everyone!
veelofar: A good option for irl fish is a hollow decoration with an opening big enough for the small fish but to small for the big fish
JonnyGlitched: What did I miss?
Mathwyn: Well you don't wanna keep dead bears in your fish tank
veelofar: But I don't know if it would be able to judge that super well in game? I don't know how detailed it is on that front
Featherweight_: its the peak of Guinea pig technology
Astramentha: what about SSS angelfish
Mathwyn: On the plus side the platinum angelfish means you can't lose the game!
veelofar: You could have a sorority beta tank.
JonnyGlitched: fire and water don't mix
veelofar: Depends on the flow you have in the tank and what type of fish.
RealGamerCow: The owner of this tank makes a lot of Reddit posts
JonnyGlitched: Digging this flute
Mathwyn: When the ring of power gets stuck around a pebble
Astramentha: “is rightwise angelfish, triple platinum”
veelofar: Whomsoever should draw the anchor from the tank shall need to extract a pleco from the inside of one of the holes you didn't realize it had
iris_of_ether: Same with waterbeds
JonnyGlitched: did you know fish can actually live the rest of their lives out of water?
SquareDotCube: 30-40 gallons I think
veelofar: Yeah, if a big tank shatters, you've got water damage on the room and the room below it
Dalrint: Google says 70 to 80 gallons for a bathtub
SquareDotCube: but I can see tank limits being up to 10 gallons
RealGamerCow: 1 gallon is about 3800 cubic centimeters
Rutti subscribed with Prime. They've subscribed for 9 months!
LRRbot:
Thanks for subscribing, Rutti! (Today's storm count: 48)
veelofar: Water is Not Light
RealGamerCow: A 100 gallon tank is at least 800 pounds
LordZarano: 1 cubic meter of water weighs a ton. Literally
Dalrint: At 8.6 lbs for gallon, a 150 gallon tank would weigh 1290 pounds.
KV1NN4: This game doens't seem to have 'gets stuck in filter' mode, so glass it is
iris_of_ether: I...may remember how much water weighs because of the AD&D Players Manual
xantos69: Sure that sounds like alot of weight. But keep in mind that folks have pianos in their houses also.
JonnyGlitched: what's that in real units of measurements?
RealGamerCow: Rename that one General Zod
JonnyGlitched: flat fish!
Astramentha:
JonnyGlitched: it doesn't look happy
Juliamon: Flat Stanley
ScrapyardGhostTrain: @JonnyGlitched 1,000 lb is ~450 kg.
QuixoticScrivener: name him Flatthew.
veelofar: Typically, when a fish is trapped in two dimensional space, they become difficult to feed, as their organs are no longer shaped.
JonnyGlitched: @ScrapyardGhostTrain thank you!
Featherweight_: fish slipped between the atoms
Mathwyn: Flatthew barada nikto
JonnyGlitched: what's with the white marshmalllow?
veelofar: Oh... Ciclids.
JonnyGlitched: cockatoos are arseholes
JonnyGlitched: I am referring to the bird
veelofar: Yeah, Ciclids are one of the most... absolutely wild fish to have in a community tank
Mathwyn: Predatious opportunist also describes cockatoos tbh
JonnyGlitched: they're like a 2 year old with weapons for feet and mouths
Mathwyn: Their prey are your bins
veelofar: They'll get along with another fish for MONTHS and then suddenly kill ALL of them overnight
Syntheticuh: i watched the wavelength vod on youtube last night, that game is hilarious
veelofar: Definitely you want to pair Ciclids with fish that they aren't capable of taking in a fight
JonnyGlitched: Drop some fish off in the bowl
veelofar: Ciclids actually pair well with Oscars most of the time because an Oscar will threaten the Ciclid and the Ciclid will bide their time enough that they don't get got
veelofar: Well, big ciclids pair well with Oscars
JonnyGlitched: Fishermen
veelofar: I know this may surprise you, but I am an avid fish watcher.
2 raiders from Luminaire_p have joined!
Mathwyn: Ah the Qbert fish
veelofar: A little cory catfish. I like those.
Luminaire_p: Well enough, gotta run and work on dinner.
Luminaire_p:
JonnyGlitched: Did you know that most fish can't sing?
veelofar: Not sure why a cory catfish is named an expletive, but here we are.
JonnyGlitched: Betta fish are very bad at doing taxes
veelofar: If there were ever a fish that would be bad at doing taxes it would be bettas
SquareDotCube: probably should look around for something that makes a bubble column.
Mischief_Squid: @JonnyGlitched But sparkling gourami croak at one another for mating and territory.
JonnyGlitched: @Mischief_Squid I never said my bad facts had to be correct
JonnyGlitched: Fish can't look up
Mischief_Squid:
@JonnyGlitched Fair enough, but I also didn't say that they could sing. 
SquareDotCube: ah, maybe look for an air pump
SquareDotCube: larger tanks like this will need help with aquatic circulation
LordZarano: Turns out those treasure chests that periodically open up and release a stream of bubbles aren't just for fun
veelofar: Well, the treasure chest part is for fun, but the periodic bubbles aren't
Mathwyn: @lordzarano Yeah where else would you put the red coins
veelofar: But, yeah, I constantly tell people at the petstore that big tanks are easier to care for.
JonnyGlitched: you can also aerate water by filling a cup with tank water and pouring it back in from a height. Good in power outages / pump failures
veelofar: The theory is that a mistake in a small tank won't be able to deal with it, but a large tank can circulate the mistake around. and it's not a comparatively a big deal.
SquareDotCube: kinda wish you could scale some things
JonnyGlitched: He has lost his flatness
JonnyGlitched: another dimension?
squidddo: yeah the z axis
RealGamerCow: Im out of the kitchen
RealGamerCow: Which is what many people heard for that lyric
SkylerRingtail: No one fuckles with Snuffles
veelofar: Are those females?
RealGamerCow: Gonna scrap!
ScrapyardGhostTrain: Two fish enter; one fish leaves.
Juliamon: Oh, male means they're gonna bully
veelofar: Oh, yeah, a female and a male are going to not get along super well
iris_of_ether: It's a fish eat fish world
RealGamerCow: "cameron is suffering ennui"
Featherweight_: this game needs sex and shrimp. in that order
veelofar: I love sorority betta tanks, though. Just get like five to ten female bettas together and they are vibing together
SquareDotCube: time for fish jail
kalira77:
the trash can turned into a toilet for the fish... 
SquareDotCube: Hex tanks exist, but those are polylaminite
iris_of_ether: I imagine that it's easier to fit in a rectangular tank into a typical floor plan, so it doesn't stick out too much
Juliamon: Tanks tend to be placed against a wall, so rectangular minimizes how much they stick out into the rest of the room.
Juliamon: Like how TVs evolved to be flatscreen
Mathwyn: Can you get air pumps/filters/whatever fixes o2 levels?
LordZarano: If you want to explore this genre further I'd recommend checking out Aquarist, which has you respond to npcs having problems with their tank and clean and stabilise their tank for them, and has you do all the steps of like moving the fish to a temporary place and syphoning when you change the water, and get commissions to create tanks for people, and start your own fish shop from scratch
Juliamon: Also once air pumps and filters get involved you want to be against the wall for outlets.
KV1NN4: always remember; the 'poop eating' critters you get also produce poop so... just try to have too many fish
RealGamerCow: Gord CONSUME
KV1NN4: try NOT to have eve
KV1NN4: even.
Juliamon: They *can* eat their own poop but it's not going to do them any good
SkylerRingtail: They would go infinite
RealGamerCow: like a breeder reactor
SquareDotCube: fully ef-fish-ent
Juliamon: Cat: "Screw you guys, I'm going over here. Oh no, I regret everything!"
xantos69: The best explanation for the physics of why you can't do perpetual motion I ever heard was: "God plays magic... but he hates combo."
iris_of_ether:
LordZarano:
TheAwkes: Like Seaman!
Featherweight_: be cool if this had a screen saver mode to just put a tank on display
Juliamon: I miss having an aquarium screensaver
Dalrint: Do you have any plans to look at Pacific Drive?
Juliamon: They... did
xantos69:
50 Bits
Featherweight_: maybe one day we’ll be the problem
lilyoftheveil666: @dalrint They played the demo a few weeks back
TheMadS8nt: I'm gonna take a wild stab and say this isn't the goose game but with a fish right?
Juliamon: TheMadS8nt Much more of a traditional aquarium sim
TheMadS8nt: @Juliamon ahh, but now I kinda want goose game where you are flopping around as a fish
SkylerRingtail: Oh, I hate that
Juliamon: I Am Fish kinda is that
SkylerRingtail: Sounds like a game for the Nope Boys!
TheAinMAP:
Gekyouryuu: apparently Alan Wake 2 is getting a patch to optimize it for older Nvidia GPUs or something along those lines?
Gekyouryuu: Rouge
