    I feel sorry for all those fish. While I don't advocate releasing fish into lakes, that catfish would probably have had a better life there.

    yep he def. would've......that kid has been posting things up like that for a while now and i didn't really want to say anything about it because he's obviously still learning but if your not going to take some advice from the vets then your just closed minded.
    i listen to everyone that has some info on what i'm keeping and then read up on it....most of the time it might not suit me to do what they said but if something doesn't work out as planned then i can always try what they suggested.......in this case his fish get huge and he wants to fit as many as he can into a small space.......poor fish.

    Now if only the fish store that ignorantly sells him their fish would ban him. One thing I give him credit on.... he did not want it in a lake. You know, I dislike people who release non-native fish into a lake or stream that they do not belong in. Florida has problems with Pacus and Oscars that dont belong in their systems that people who were dumb and could not take care of dumped off where they dont belong.

    But language is not good, and why would you bother asking questions on a board with people who know what they are doing if you dont listen and think you already know it all!

    Last thing we need is him giving advice! :confused:

    lol what have i missed? I hope that I didnt do anything wrong, I just get so pissed when I tell this kid over and over and over that he is going to need huge tanks for these fish, and he continues to follow the 1" per gallon rule. I appologize if my messages have offended anyone on this subject matter, but I tell it like it is, especially when it comes to the health and "happiness" of fish kept in tanks. The way I feel is that if your willing to remove something from its home and keep it as a pet you better dang well be able to provide as good of a home as your removing it from, if not better.

    I just dont want people here thinking I was ripping this kid a new one for no reason. I have told this guy the same thing so many times that I had given up, but this time I saw an already mature fish that was going into a tank suitable for this fish as a baby and lost it. I applaud anyone who rescues anything, but that was like rescuing a dog and then beating it to death.

    If he is that young, he will probably come in here lurking under another screen name...
