that would have been the good thing to do but instead i emailed him in outrage )
read this: (BTW the site was labeled "badman", quite a suitable name huh? )

Dear Badman
Today I stumbled across your site while doing some research. What I saw was completely shocking and what I thought to be a joke.
Upon further reading I realized that not only was this not a joke, but people were actually using your examples while stocking their tanks. This is both disgusting and very inappropriate. Clearly you have no experience and should not be misleading so many people. Beginners should not exceed 1" of fish per US gallon. This is measured by the adult size of the fish as well as its compatibility and activity levels. Most of the tank examples are far exceeding this limit. Not only that but I read far more shocking mistakes. For example (and don't misunderstand they almost all had something this bad with them) there was a 37 gallon tank containing 2 bala sharks, 2 iridescent sharks, and 2 black sharks as some of its inhabitants. Not only is this fish abuse but you and your members obviously have no idea what they are doing. Both bala sharks and black sharks (or the columbian shark) reach an average size of 14" and are capable of reaching an astounding 20"-22". These sharks need a minimum of 70 gallons, but are ideal for 100 gallon tanks! Not only that but an iridescent shark can reach up to 3 feet long and need at LEAST 150-200 gallons. I have also read of 1 gallon bowls containing 2 fantail goldfish! Goldfish (depending on the exact species) should not be kept in anything less than 5 gallons per fish, some species even requiring 10 gallons per fish. Your site is promoting fish abuse and it has to stop! I am also reading of brackish water fish being kept in fresh water, and community fish being kept with aggressive fish. You should be ashamed for allowing this to be posted on the internet where unsuspecting fish owners will be misled and taught how to kill their fish in the worst possible ways. If you are any kind of mature responsible person then you will not allow this to go on any further and correct this mistake before it does any more harm. Maybe YOU should do a little research of your own, not simply believe that fish + water = good aquarium. Your poor knowledge and obvious laziness in research are a disgrace.
