Eeeeeek! Does anyone else see a problem here?!

[Teelie]

Did you just make another account. Is that three now?

Yep...

Anyhow, I would take the fish back to the shop or convince whoever is in charge of them to take them back or else they'll have a nice view of fish decomposition inside a week. Some people really surprise me with their ignorance about fish. I didn't know even a fraction of what I do now but even when I first started out, I knew better than this.

The other problem is, of course, that they have actually owned all these fish, as a unit, for a year and a half now...!!

So of course when you start hinting that the fish are not going to get on you get puzzled faces saying- eh? But they have been fine all this time?!

Sometimes it's harsh when fish drop dead the second you get them home, but at least for all those who will follow them it sends the clearest message to the purchaser- hey, this DOES NOT WORK!

I can't believe those fish lived so long. I can only wonder at how much longer they'll live in those conditions.

 

[Maroonostrich]

You get my predicament! I will be keeping a close eye on them and doing little fiddles to see if I can make things a bit better for them- it just seems to me that it must be a tank characteristic of what people end up with when they don't actually understand what fish they are actually taking home.

I will be looking out for anything obvious I can point out to people and have already mounted a campaign for removed of the shark! One step at a time...

You should print out full-size images of adult RTBSs and clown loaches for the owners to have a look at

 

[Teelie]

And remind them the fish don't grow to the size of the tank.
