well i'm on a site now called ratemyfishtank.com and i am coming across SO MANY HORRIBLE stocks! one tank was 30gallons and the guy had 2 oscars, one 7inch, one 4, and he said in his photo caption i really hope i can get an albino oscar soon. ugh

another was a 40 gallon with 11 africans in it......

another was a 20 gallon with 2 RTBS, 2 male Bettas, and more various cichlids(a couple of yello labs and colbalt bules)

BUT this one!!!!! i guess it speaks for it's self..... let me copy and paste his photo caption in.......

this next little bit is from his profile and photo caption...... Poor fish......


"Quote : Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going

About Yourself : i bought a tank and decided that i wanted to get fish

Advice : You need to be commited in taking care of your fish. Test the water and watch to see
how your fish act on a daily basis.

Photo Caption : 55GAL HEX TANK, CLAY POTS AND FAKE HANGING PLANTS FOR DECORATION. AQUA
CLEAR 300 FILTER, CORAL LOOKING ROCK & STOCKED WITH 8 JACK DEMPSEYS!! HOPE
YOU ENJOY!! "

and when he says clay pots and fake hanging plants.... HE MEANS IT! the tank is alteast half filled with these ceramic pots and plants leaving no swimming room........i just wish there was a way to control the sale of fish, but i know this is impossible.
 
OK, i just want to clear this up a bit,

i myself use this website! i love it! the top 10 in each different category are amasing, on of my tanks is currently

"Ranked #16 out of 763 freshwater tanks pictures worldwide"

"This tank looks better than 97.77% tanks from this cathegory."

so i am very happy with this. although it changes almost every second from people voting, but it's still holding strong.....

i'm just trying to say that there is always a bunch of these situations, that's all. and also if this is your tank that i have stumbled upon, please don't be offended, just do something about it becasue i think this is really unhealthy for your fish and although they are small now they will grow almost a foot long each and this is not a good spot for them to be......
