[ellena]

Look at this poor chap who was in with some black widow tetras and a freshwater ray at the aquarium on windermere.

There were several the same, but H wouldn't let me complain

Maybe they were moved to that tank to heal? Not sure if a ray and tetras would do that...

It has a little bit of fin damage (as lots of fish can get in nature), it will heal fast and otherwise the fish is in excellent condition in a nice big tank.

I see nothing wrong at all...

in the wild, silver dollars and piranha live together when young - they have feeding times whereby the eat each others fins. to us fishkeepers, the scene looks like they are being killed, however eating each others is very good for them and they soon grow back.

agrees with discus....the other fish in there would not really do that, and therefore it might have been placed in that tank to heal and thrive, so i wouldnt
really want to jump in and condem the place without knowing for certain

How?

Is that really not that bad? I thought it looked atrocious!
Normally at places like that, if there's something the public might see as bad, they put a notice up.
Maybe best that I didn't complain
