    Ok, so I just checked richmond, va craigslist and saw a 55 gallon tank for sale for $200! Ok...I went to look at the pics....it had a large albino oscar in a 1/2 full tank with tons of dead, decaying fish and the water....eww you couldn't barely see the fish! Why do people get animals if they don't care about them!?! I am on my cell and can't post pics, but if you can do a search... check it out... its so sad! If I had $200 id take the poor thing! Below is the ad I copy and pasted :(

    How in the world could not a common human being figure out that dead fish are supposed to be removed from the tank asap? OR that it should be kept filled with water... OR that the water isn't supposed to look like milk. I'm getting so stressed! D:<

    Hah! Or he might just be another one of those lazy people that couldn't care less about fish. I mean, come on, how many people actually care? Most of them just buy a new fish after flushing the old one in the toilet. Fish must be the most underrated pets in the world. I think they're also among the most abused ones o_o There are too many people who think that the only thing a fish needs is water in a tank. Nothing about space, filtration... or their environmental needs!!
