TANKED NEW SEASON!!!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I got out from under my rock and seen my first "Tanked" tonight. Wasnt bad, about what i expected i guess. Would of been nice if the went into the designing/building details a little more.
 
more bad publicity imo for the hobby/ owners of fish... how fish should be any different then dogs or cats is assanine imo... anyone who thinks these guys are " doing good" for the hobby of fishkeeping itself is silly imo. do they do great builds? yes.. but thats like saying someone makes a cool catbox... cant deny these guys do interest custom builds.. but ive seen better on this site by random joes... and the true beauty of their builds are they sustain life! no stock list is bomb proof but the treatment of the life these guys blatently abuse disgusts me and has since i saw their first episode... many of the fish ive seen are wild caught adult specimins in questionably sustainable habitats.

i make sad face... they have the opportunity to truely educate... but theyde rather be "cool". poor form...

I agree that this is so hollywood. They are just trying to be cool. But what i ment about doing good for the hobby was....the more people that are intrested in fish...the more acessable fish will be. I talked to someone from a flordia fish supply company. He said they have everything lined up to make asian aros legal, they just cant find people in politics to care if we have those fish. They need them to push the bills through congress. People in politics respond to the massess...if the masses are more aware and intrested in this hobby because of tanked, it will open more doors for us.

I really think more people on this site should read this thread.

Lol watching one of the episodes that are on demand through Comcast, its the one where they build a phone booth aquarium. As they are adding the damselfish, you can see then adding a dead/dying fish that just floats to the bottom.

I agree, exept coolness has nothing to do with it, just money

Coolest tank I have seen so are is the shark tank on the newest episode. Once it came to decor and stuff they blew it.
 
The best thing to do is not watch the show and send complaints into animal planet. Watching the show just because there isnt another aquarium show on wont help the situation

How about a petition thread of some sort from mfk sent to animal planet/ATM
