evil that is some lazer light show for fish tanks but i remember last year in physical science one of my friends snuck a lazer into class an she shined it on the teachers big comunity tank an it killed a fish in like a split second...then the teacher freaked! anyways i was wondering why this site would be selling something that can do that to a fish...sorry for makin a hate thread ive never done it b4 but it really pisses me off.
 
I have a little laser that I play with my fish with and its never hurt any of them. I've shined it right on them for extended periods (like 1 minute) with no problems.
 
I have a question.... why would you need a laser for your tank? Whats it for? why would you want to point a laser at your fish?
 
Well with that link Alix showed us I guess its for people that are gothic or like heavy metal and like laser shows. :/
 
Ever seen a cat play with one of those laser pointers? Well it works exactly the same with fish..some of them will chase/play with it...they think it's food. Works best with aggressive fish...but some shoalers will also play along. I can't find mine currently (I have bought about 20 in the last 5 years lol..damn little things) but I use to play with my neons with it.

I can't see it killing a fish though...something like that would be illigal..as it would also harm other things ..not just fish.
 
Lol, i'm not sure what your looking at durbkat but doesn't really seem like a gothic thing to me.... Its from Petsmart for gods sake!

That is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. What on earth makes you relate gothic with laser shows? Last time I've seen a laser show there were many people there and none that stood out to me as gothic. It is just that, a show ... designed to entertain people, not a certain group of people, just anyone. And that's exactly what it does.

As for lasers killing fish, I've heard it, but far as I'm aware it's just a myth. Lasers mostly get used on bigger fish that are more responsive to their owners. Oscars & puffers for example, quite often like playing 'chase the finger'. You move your finger accross the tank, and they'll follow. They'll do the same to the laser ... it's just a fun little toy, no more
 
Are you kidding Erised?? All goths and fans of heavy metal LOVE laser shows! :hyper:
I have never met a single goth in my entire life that didn't freakin' love lasers.
 
lol ... I didn't mean it like that :p What I meant was, you don't have to be a goth to like laser shows. Durbkat makes it sound as if you have to be either a goth or like heavy metal to like laser shows. Personally I love them as well, I think pretty much everyone does really :p ... I just found it a bit insulting the way he stated it.

heh, sign at a laser show: "you don't have to be goth to enjoy this, but it helps!" :lol:

(sorry if no one else finds this amusing; these sorts of signs may only be a US phenomenon)
 
I was just being silly :p

I'm going to goth test this thread now... if you can finish this sentence, you are goth:
"Nice boots..."
