This thread is a heated political argument disguised as a fish farming troubleshooting session, where users devolve from discussing feeding schedules and water treatment into personal attacks regarding political party support. While there is genuine agricultural advice regarding over-feeding and salt treatment, the core content is dominated by political vitriol and insults rather than cooperative problem-solving.
