talk about overstocked?

[ryan]

i went to one of my local lfs and saw the most overstocked tank in history-it was 25 inches long 12 inches wide and 12 inches high.

it had-

17 discus 1-3 inches
16 black ghost knife fish 3-4 inches
15 butterfly fish 2-4 inches
7 cory's 3-4 inches
3 silver dollars 5-6 inches
2 plecs 2-4 inches

i couldn't believe all these fish fitted in, and i felt so sorry for the BGK they had no hiding places accept a 4 inch log with holes in and they were all trying to jam themselves in to it.

Those poor fish !

Oh yuk! That's only around 15 gallons of water for all those fish!

All I can say is that they are so stupid! The little lives in that tank are worth hundred of dollars.

From a business standpoint, it makes little sense to take that risk. From a humane point of view, it's appalling!

Fortunatly they are not in the tank at the LPS too long they get sold unfortunatly its usualy to some one who will do the same just because the pet shop did it.

it makes me so angry, people are going to think that's a reasonable way to keep animals.
