Biorbs are like little torture chambers for fish.

you either love them or you hate them. 90% of the fishkeeping community (myself inclusded) hate them. they are ok if done right, but as ive said before in this thread, they have huge problems.

problems are low surface area leading to low oxygen levels, meaning you cant put many fish in the tanks, and pitifully underpowered filter, again meaning you cant put many fish in the tank. all in all, biorbs look cool, and as long as you only put a few small fish in a tank (say 5 or 6 tetras or danios in a 30L one), then they are fine. but too many people overstock them, or even worse, put goldfish in, which leads to huge problems, and often fish dying very slow drawn out and painful deaths

I know, it's extremely sad. As we both know the general public are poorly informed about fishkeeping. THe industry doesn't help the cause though does it.

Now that's what I want to hear! Don't forget the complications with cleaning the darn things...

oh yeah! i forget about that, yet im the one who has to clean the darn ones at work! much harder to clean than a regular square glass tank!

?? I find my far easier to clean than my old rectangular tank..

Maybe a betta fish and a couple of corydoras to clean.

You should generally stick to the rule of one small fish per gallon.

For example, you could have three platies and a betta and a cory.
