i found this website about boycotting aquababies , thought it was quite good (bit of a long read though ).

boycotting aquababies

 

[guppymonkey]

I looked on the aquababies website and it said that the tanks (which look incredibly small almost the size of the tiny bowls they keep bettas in petstores) only need to be cleaned"3 to 4 times a year" !!!!!!!!!!! This is absolutely rediculous! A tank that small would need all new water every week or the fish would suffer. Its like keeping a puppy in one of those pet carry cases and saying that its fine as long as we clean the poop out a few times a year. If someone did that to a dog they would get arrested for animal abuse but they are allowed to do it to fish and get away with it. It just seems wrong....

the 'tank' is only 4" by 4" by 4". i think that works out to be less that half a gallon!! and then they put in 2-5 tropical fish, commonly guppies. you can't keep 1 guppy in that little tank, and you definately can't keep 5 of them. i agree, it's awful that people can do this to a fish, but not to a dog, or any other animal. it's awful

crap like that makes me mad, but this link will make you truly angry. there is a petition going around through emails about this one, but who knows what good it will do. some people are just sick and care nothing about an animals welfare simply because its an animal and not a human. and the worst is, these companies are in the US, we have control, yet nothing is being done by the aspca to stop such things!!!!!!

That website is actually a hoax site made to piss people off. And it did a mighty fine job to Try typing in "bonsai kitten hoax" on google and see what you come up with.

To the Aquababies:

Oh my dear god! This is absolutely sickening!!! You cant keep a single tropical fish in a half gallon tank with NO FILTER!! Mabye a betta, and you'd still have to clean it more than 4 TIMES A YEAR!

i'm glad about the kitten thing. i kind of thought it couldn't be true cos it's so sick

something should be done about the aquababies - compared to them, lfs's that don't tell you everything you need to know about fish don't seem so bad
