I have heard that Partypoker is a bunch of fish that suck. I have heard that Pokerstars is a bunch of rock who camp.
Why the hell would there be this difference between the two sites?

I personally dont find Stars 6 max ring that bad. But i've only played Paradise, Empire (after split) and Stars so perhaps I don't know the meaning of fishtank.

There ARE differences. I think the differences can be attributed to the teaching effect. I first noticed this with chess but one could insert poker the same way. Ever notice that you cannot improve your chess game if you only play someone that is worse than you? Improvement in something needs a stress to push it along. The stress is typically supplied by losing on a regular basis (by playing someone better than you or at least as good as you). As you become better, so does your opponent since you are both pushing each other to be better.
The same thing would happen in poker if you played the exact same set of people each day. The effect would be washed out the higher the turnover rate in players; Larger influx and outflow of people would reduce this effect or nullify it (assuming new players were bad; a good assumption).
So the toughness of a particular site could be somewhat determined by how many regulars were there and how that population compared to the influx/outflow.

Lack of Discipline and Over-Confidence... The root of all poker evil.

I think Party is so fishy because they only allow the beginners to play the 5NL and 10NL for so long. Then they are forced to play NL 25. They are basically throwing fish to the sharks there.

Party ($5 and $10) SNGs are FAR fishier than any other site I've played, without a doubt. Though the small stacks and blind structure certainly contribute to this.
Are there really lots of Sharks at Party $25NL ring, Lodogg?

Not at all...But anyone with a clue will make a nice profit playing there. You will see people playing all sorts of hands. Last night someone limped in from EP and called my raise (I had AK in LP). A king came on the flop and this guy called my bets down the whole way. He turned over K8 off.

That is weird... Do they give you a certain number of hands you can play at the 5 and 10NL or after you have made money you have to move up or what?
