Neon Tetras, Whats Wrong?

[AdAndrews]

did a water change today, 10% + gravel cleaned, i am using API Freshwater master test kit liquid, i know the brineshrimp are sustainable but its still a life so you cant talk about cruel

 

[Truck]

ok thats why you have a nitrate reading of 0,

there is no proof (scientific) of brineshrimps (to my knowledge) having a brain or being able to think.

its just cruel, would you keep a lion in your living room? or an elephant in your kitchen?

 

[AdAndrews]

if i could keep an elephant in my kitchen i would, if someone came up to me and offered him for £50 i would take him and stick him in our spare room, lion would rip me to shreads though so ill stick with my elephant

 

[Truck]

now your being cocky and taking the biscuit, you would never keep an elephant in your kitchen , because its to big same with the rainbows why by more you murdering troll!

 

[AdAndrews]

lol im sorry, the rainbows are only 2 inches now anyway plus fishkeeping is cruel anyway, taking a fish out of its natural habitat and sticking it in a glass box for our enjoyment

 

[Truck]

no not enjoyment, more conservation. such as denison barbs, their dying in the wild, so were keeping them to conserve them, yeh your rainbows are most probs stunted so will die

 

[AdAndrews]

lol ok, thanks for your advice, instead of conserving them barbs in our tank why not keeping them in their habitat in the wild, and banning the capture of them

 

[Truck]

because there dying in the wild because of pollution and locals eating them etc thats why we keep and conserve them. read this

[AdAndrews]

calm down just a suggestion lol

 

[Truck]

no but this isnt a joke its serious, its one of the most stunning aquarium fish for sale and provided the right conditions will thrive

 

[dnn3]

you can't make uncaring statements about fish.these people will rip you apart.

 

[malakye]

If you like rainbows why not but smaller rainbows who would be happier in your tank than making 2 suffer for your enjoyment? Threadfin rainbows are stunning fish and don't get as big.

 

[AdAndrews]

thanks for your help everyone

If you're going to argue, could you do it by PM or something so we don't all have to listen? The original question has been answered, and truckasauras, it's pretty obvious you aren't going to get anywhere, so methinks thread over?

 

[Truck]

yeh i dont know why i bother

it hacks me off that some people in this hobby dont give a toss about fish. nuff said.
