Why do people buy fish...

The one fish I was kind of guilty of this, was an Oscar; who I grew a few inches in a 55 before giving him to someone that could house him properly. I wanted to find out about their personalities etc etc.

Also guilty of returning aggressive cichlids, because I thought I could house them with no problems but had inevitable fighting etc. You live and you learn

RTCxTSN in about a 40 breeder?!?
Airapima in about a 30 ?!?
(Just an estimate based on his said measurements in comparison to tank width)
And he always says he has plans for the fish and he says he NEVER impulse buys supposedly they are going into his "friends pond" he has never updated the RTC hybrid or airapima since the first coupple vids hmmm sounds funny to mee don't ya think??? Even if they went to his friend he would should.have at least posted a pic slideshow on video don't ya think I'm not going to beat a dead horse I'm just saying that's the guy I think the above poster was speaking of and that's who keeps fish in small tanks and he can't house them properly. Even his 300 can't house half the fish he gets properly. I don't want to flame anymore rant over sorry OP

^that was what I was talking about as a perfect example of why you shouldnt buy fish(rtc especially). Final post in the thread sums it all up

Its usually like new tank syndrome but not for the fish...for the hobbyist. Buying a new and bigger tank some reason gives the idea of being able to house bigger fish (true but most people go and get the ones that grow HUGE! Even if they only upgraded by a few gallons lol). I finally upgraded to a 150 gallon from a 72 and pondered the idea of a black aro just so I can grow for a juvi to about 18 inches...but I did the research and since they are hard to come for cheap by I can easily sell or give it away when it got to big..but now which everyone else should look into...is finding alternatives. Now Im think of filling the top portion of the tank with a few apolo sharks

...With the intentions of eventually rehoming them? I don't get it.

I think it's silly.

I agree! It's as silly as the question you're asking. Of course, you don't get it, because you're not "people.". You're only you, so you can't understand others. Aren't we born equally, yet, unique? Just like I don't get why once in a while there's one riding a high horse and asking such silly question...

LOL. Do you have a ladder bro? It might help me get down.

There's no need for a ladder. If you want to get down, just click "undo."

cause I can. And If i dont like it or just dont want it. Sure why not rehome it. Besides everyone on the forum does it anyway
