Yikes! I haven't read through all of 'em, but I did find one that lists a three gallon as having two Clown Loaches and five Neons I hope that was a typo and that it's actually a 30 gallon, but I doubt that it is. Some of those are quite overstocked, or just not appropriate-sized tanks for the kind(s) of fish that are in them, but others are okay.

Email to the owner:

Hello,

I wanted to contact you because I am very worried about the 'information' on your site. Most of the tanks listen on your site are disgustingly overstocked, unsuitable or incompatible. This includes:

- silver dollars in a 15gallon (SDs get to 5" and should be in bigger groups)
-a massively overstocked 5 gallon with a lone cory (these should be in groups of 3+)
- Someone with 2-15gallons should be reported to an animla charity.
- 2 clown loaches in a 3 gallon is amazingly stupid. They should be in a 55gallon at least, can get to 12" and should be in groups of 3.

There are many, many more of these examples but I simply do not have the time to list them.

I think unsuitable ones should be taken off your site as they are a bad example to people who may not know any better. Oh, and you might want to know that your site is circulating on fish forums and people are disgusted at what they see.

Thanks for your time.

When I first bought my tank this past March, I knew nothing about fish at all...so went hunting on the internet. THAT was the first website I found.. I actually printed off pages and pages of examples so that we could copy one of them for our own tank ) ) . SOOO glad I found you guys the next day!!
