get off pauls dick newbee. no one wants to believe me but i've been raising fish all my life, and i can assure the size a fish grows depends on it's enviorment. people like you wouldnt know this because you believe everything you read online. have some imagination and try something, if it fails you live and learn.http/www.cichlidmadness.com/forums/index.php?showforum=6

........ and i can assure the size a fish grows depends on it's enviorment. people like you wouldnt know this because you believe everything you read online. have some imagination and try something, if it fails you live and learn.

exactly the point that is being made here!

the fish you are keeping are being stunted because the size of the tank you are keeping them in is preventing full and proper growth.

Their insides continue to grow while there external frame remains smaller because of the lack of the growth space. Clearly this is no good thing.

Your oscars are 1/3 the size they should be and are no doubt totally unhealthy and suffering (even though you cannot see it!).

The references and internet sites you refer to, including this forum, are produced and used by people who have "lived and learned" and who are passing on their experience to others so further mistakes are not made and fish are not kept in such cruel surroundings...as is happening in your case.

If you had any conscience at all you would either transfer some fish into much larger, more appropriate tanks, or return them from whence they came!!

Your ego appears to outweigh your knowledge and you appear not to have such a conscience. As such I truly feel sorry for you and your fish.

You fool.

From what you have posted I know a hell of a lot more than you, for starters I doubt you keep some of the fish i keep alive for 3 hours even if you tried.

Your whole tank and "experience" is based on a old wifes tale. No fish actually grows to the size of the enviroment safely and healthy. They may appear to grow to the size of there tank but these fish are made very unhealthy and un-natural.

If you want to keep large fish get a big tank or just keep a single large fish.. If fish grow to the size of there enviroment why don't they keep on growing in the wild. Only keep fish that are suitable for your tank or just give up and give these poor fish a break.

I don't want to see pictures of your stunting chambers.

This thread has gone too far.

When will you all learn that we will not tolerate language like this on the forum. If all you want to do is make derogatory remarks at each other, then do it in private pms NOT ON THE FORUM. Further similar outburst will be brought to the admins attention for his action.

The thread is now closed and my remarks remain puplic for all to see and be warned.
