Fish Hell - Horrible Tanks For Sale

[PlasticGalaxy]

Found this tank on eBay whilst looking for one for my nan. 100L with around 50 fish. Had to do a double take when I saw it. Thoughts?
The fact that they want £600 for it is astonishing.

I'm well aware that @Sgooosh lurks on reddit looking for terrible aquariums like this, so does anyone else have experience with seeing god-awful "tanks" like these?

Poor fish....I don't go looking for stuff like this, irresponsible people shouldn't have pets in the first place

All I want is a nice, 4ft tank for my nan. And then I see things like this and my day is ruined.

seen worse than that for sale on ebay, small (nano) tank had 10 fish in there

large goldfish, black shark plus others think smallest was about 3 inches in size.

messaged the seller and all got back was the usual "It's never been a problem, all fish are happy)

"Fish are happy" meaning they don't eat, they're pale and they all have some kind of disease.
It takes literally two minutes to sign up to this forum and ask some questions before they wind up abusing animals.

but why sign up on here, the FISH ARE HAPPY, you can see that in their eyes

It's best when they add "I've always had tanks like this"

"I've been keeping tanks since I was your age!" From adults whose tanks look like they've just scooped up a load of bog water and put a pleco in.

and when you tell them that that common plec will grow to 2 foot in size, i was told by my lfs it will get o 5 inch at most.

Bet you get that a few times @PlasticGalaxy, being young and even worse a female, thinking she knows about this stuff

 

[cdelly]

just realized it's over 50 fish, i just messaged them about it

Haha, I'm actually male! But the sentiment is all the same: I've been given way too many glares from Pets at Home and LFS workers. That might just be because I get over-excited and start flapping my hands and squealing when I see corys, though. The general public aren't exactly huge fans of people who outwardly show their disabilities, lol.

Haha, let us know how they respond. Getting rid of the tank is the kindest thing they can do, but at £600 I highly doubt that that'll be happening any time soon.

To be fair, it's usually the mums and dads who come into the shops as a free aquarium experience, ignoring their screaming kids to give me dirty looks when I start being a know-it-all over fish. I don't think I've ever gotten a glare from an LFS worker, but my eyes aren't that great so I might have done!

it's when the kids start smacking the tanks and the "parents or carers" dont say anything
