complaints about tanks

this one is great


RE: Aqua View Plus fish tank - box shows 3 small goldfish in 1 gallon tank - informed by local pet store that shouldn't put more than 1 goldfish per 1 gallon of water

I recently bought the Aqua View Plus at our local Wal-Mart super center. The box showed 3 small goldfish in the tank. My son who is 5 years old really wanted a tank with 2 or 3 small goldfish.

When we got home the directions and our local pet store educated us that the rule is 1 inch fish per 1 gallon of water. Since this tank is 1 gallon we can not have 3 small goldfish in it.

I am very dissatisfied, I have wasted my money and my son still does not have the tank he wants.
The picture on the box is very misleading to beginners!!!!!

they told her 1 gallon per goldfish! what kind of an idiot would tell some one that.

I know how she feels. It bugs me. I wish they wouldn't do that. And I wish places that know better wouldn't sell bowls labelled as goldfish bowls(including my place of employment). When I see fish in ads or movies in too small of a tank, I freak out. Look what my job has done to me!

URKS me 2.......someone who didn't know any better would totally think it was ok to have all those fish in there.

They should at least have a disclaimer stating the 1" of fish per gallon rule somewhere on the box, and a note about goldfish requirements!

But then again they would never sell any if people knew the truth!
