You have a lot to learn, my guess is you are somewhere between 10 - 12 so Im not going to get into a arguement little boy.
a) Now who's being quick to judge?
B ) Again, who's the one being more immature?
c) How does age come into this? You could well be a 96 year old who has been fish keeping for 6 months, if vancouver is, as you think, '10-12', that could consist of seven years fishkeeping experience.
Least the fish look healthy and water clear etc.
Oh, that's OK then, I can keep my fish in ammonia because it's clear, and I'm sure the fish would look healthy to start with. You can't judge water quality by clarity of the water, some of the best fish habitats in the world have water that you can't see your hand in front of your face through.
It could be alot worse. Better to see healthy fish like that than one fish in a tank of Ammonia riff water not looked after.
Not really, I' sure a comparatively quick death through ammonia poisoing is much preferable to a life of being stunted, with aggressive, larg efish and no room to move.
You all shouldnt be so quick to judge others!!
But you seem to have judged vancouver extrodinarily quickly...
You should all reasearch lot more before you go slating everyone for their poor errors.
Research doesn't come into it, even someone who lives in a hole in the ground could tell you how god awful t hat tank appears.
I bet over half of you guys have overstocked at some point in your learning curve.
As above, overstocked, yes, but not to that extent. There's a vast difference between having a few extra tetras than hacing 3 oscars, a pirahna/pacu, a bichir and whatever else is in there too many.
All you betta keepers that stick a fish in a unfiltered pint glass for one are being very hypocritical. You say its all they need.
LOL, that's hilarious. I see no one doing that. 1g is the absolute minimum, 2.5+ is best, as long as water changes are often, filtration is not needed as it often does more harm than good. There is a vast difference between as oscar and a betta- A betta, weighed down with all that finnage, isn't the most active fish in the world. Even in a 6x2x2, it would stay in a small area, have its territory and patrol it viciously.
Rubbish, its just you have never had the knowledge to have tanks larger than 50liters to try other fish.
Try telling that to betta keepers with oscars, parrot hybrids, midas, bichirs, rare dwarf giraffe cats, common goldfish and any other large fish you can think of.
Im not trying to flame here
Really? You had me fooled.
all Im trying to say is dont be so quick to judge someone that might just need a friendly voice to explain why what they have is wrong. Surely a better message to send them was to join the forum and learn about the fish they have and the requirements of them.
I'm sure the person is already aware of the requirements, you don't have half a dozen 12" fish by knowing bugger all about them.
That's utterly disgusting and people like that shouldn't be allowed to ever keep fish again.
