Yes you did. You cant even remember what you say? Anyway I hope that trailer trash pet store you go to shuts down if you get your fish labeled wrong.

 

[TerraDreamer]

Im not a pet store owner! Your so ignorant.

Son, remember when you said this?

"The ones I order come from Austrailia. That's what THEY call them. I trust them enough to know that they know what they are talking about...AND don't ####n call me stupid because I have owned my business for 10 years with very happy customers. If anything maybe Austrailia has the wrong name for them but that's what my establishment goes by so #### off."

Ten years? So, that means you started your business when you were 4 years of age?

Why do I feed the trolls?

I'm going to give that ignore feature a try.

To the OP, your list sounds great!

Know what you mean, but I doubt this account will last long...

Im not a pet store owner! Your so ignorant.

And you must shop a a trailer trashed pet store if stuff isnt labeled properly.

Yes i also love my trailer trashed pet store, i love even more to tell them that they are actually not carrying ADF but carrying regular african frogs. ITS NOT JUST THE PET STORE IN MY AREA ITS PET STORES ALL OVER THE COUNTRY!!!! THEY ARE MORE COMMON THAN NOT AND IM FINE WITH THAT I JUST MAKE SURE I DONT TAKE ANY OF THERE INFORMATION WHICH IS WHAT I TOLD IC TO DO IN THE FIRST PLACE ITS CALLED RESEARCH.

Yes you did. You cant even remember what you say? Anyway I hope that trailer trash pet store you go to shuts down if you get your fish labeled wrong..

EDIT: PLEASE QUOTE WHERE I SAID YOU OWNED A PET STORE

Well replace "got out of business" with "get the sack" and we're about there.

THis account is shared by more than one person. How ignorant are you to not get that through your thick head?

And come on why would the owner of this store allow its employees to use this account. Its free make your own if your story is true then why are you bringing someone who actually knows about fishkeeping down to your level...

 

[AquaDreams]

You both are so ignorant, you can't think of nothing better else to do than to than to start stuff on a FISH FORUM? Get out of here with that.


I work here. I am not the owner. Who cares about the FISH STORE...I was trying to help someone out with a post and u UK austrialian people come on here starting drama.

 

[MrGoodRight]

he rule is one fish per one gallon.

Thats a little inacurate to say the least.....



ten 1" neons in a ten gallon tank or one 10" plec in a 10 gallon tank?

Ok buddy. I beg to differ on your post here. Incorrect u say. SO u telling me more than one oscar can fit in a 10-gallon size tank. Dude it also depends on the size..

Why dont u do some research..here ill make it easy...copy and paste for ya...

One Inch Per Gallon Rule
The most widely known rule for stocking a tank is one inch of fish per gallon of water. While this type of calculation works as a rough estimate, it leaves plenty of room for error. Like people, fish are not all the same size and shape. Stocking a ten-gallon tank with ten inches of slender shaped zebras is not the same as stocking it with ten inches of full-bodied goldfish.

Larger bodied fish create far more waste, and therefore require more water volume.

Furthermore, the fish often are not fully grown when first brought home. The adorable little catfish that is scarcely an inch long today could reach a half foot in size when it grows up. The true adult size of the fish must be used in the calculation. However, many owners have no idea how old their fish is or how large it will grow to be. Before making a decision, always research the fish in question to determine the true adult size.

Another place for error is assuming the size of the tank is equivalent to the number of gallons of water it holds. A ten-gallon tank filled with gravel, rocks, plants, and an assortment of decorations does not hold ten gallons of water. In reality the water volume is often ten to fifteen percent less than the size of the tank.

So while the one-inch per gallon rule is a reasonable yardstick, it has it's flaws.

Surface Area Calculation
The larger the surface area of the water, the greater the oxygen exchange, which in turns supports a larger number of fish. Therefore, surface area of the water directly impacts how many fish can be kept in an aquarium. A tank that is tall and thin may hold the same number of gallons as a tank that is short and wide, yet they have vastly different surface areas.

Using the surface area rule, the shape difference between the tanks is taken into account. The surface area is calculated by multiplying the width times the length of the tank. Under the water surface area rule the tank can be stocked with one inch of fish for each twelve square inches of surface area. However, this calculation has many of the same flaws as the one-inch rule. For instance, it assumes a fairly slender fish, which isn't always the case. If wide-bodied fish will be kept in the tank, the calculation should be changed to one inch of fish for each twenty inches of surface area.

Like the one-inch rule, the surface area rule isn't perfect. Its primary advantage is that it takes into account unusually shaped aquariums.

Which Calculation to Use?
As a general yardstick for normal situations, the one-inch rule works adequately and is very easy to calculate. If using it, always use net gallons of water, and take into account the adult size as well as the shape of the fish. If the aquarium is a non-standard size, the surface area rule will work better than the one-inch rule. In either case, always do your homework first, and err on the side of going under the limit rather than over.

Also do not fully stock the tank all at one time. No more than 25% of the total volume of fish should be introduced at one time. Fish wastes, which are toxic, are eliminated by colonies of beneficial bacteria. Those bacterial colonies need time to adjust to changes in the bio-load. By introducing fish a few at a time, the bacterial colonies have sufficient time to grow and take care of the toxins produced by the fish waste.


Now u can say its true...but gee even i know there is some truth to the 1 fish per gallon rule. Just like u wouldnt have 2 oscar in a ten gallon tank.

Maybe u should enlighten other peoples ideas and stop being quick to think u know everything. Because no one knows everything about anything...the 1st people that act like they do....gives the impression they dont.

 

[@ombomb]

Well I just find it hard to believe that anyone who runs a pet store / works in a pet store / breeds fish (whichever you're going with this time) is so utterly clueless about the hobby.

Either tell the "other people" ( ) to stop using the account or stop posting crap advice as fact when you seem to have little or no knowledge of fish care.
