Jag tank size?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
thats a new one, equating terrorists with fish keeping. :eek:
 
I can and will leave it alone. as I have said you have IMHO. :)
 
Haha I can't believe this guy.
Logi, would you mind linking us to the thread you made in the other forum? I'm curious what that one turned into.

He's gonna go look for another fish forum, ask the same question and hope that one or two people give him the "go ahead" so he can go out and purchase a jag.

Btw, if you were really working with what you have, you'd understand your 75 isn't a proper tank for a very large cichlid like a jag. But hey, keep trying to educate yourself... Or whatever.

sorry if im bothering you. I actually do respect your opinion, even if i did make those remarks about you being an extremist. It doesnt seem completely logical to me about Cons in a 4' tank, but yeah.

What i dont respect is certain people trying to continuously slam their opion into me. You didnt do that, so i thank you for it.

I have nothing against you logi, but trust me when I say a jag just gets too big for your tank.
A salvini would work fine.

You are not saving anything. Fish store have unlimited supply from fish farms. You take 1, and they will get 10 more.

It's like "saving" a puppy from a puppy mill. I don't suppose you think that's the right thing to do?

The only way, in the long run, is for everybody to stop cramping fish in small tanks. If they can't sell, they won't buy more.

How's that for a little perspective?

Do you think it's restrictive if the fish can't reach full speed in the tank due to it having inadequate length?
Do you think it's restrictive to keep an animal that has evolved over thousands of years to actively cruise through its watery home to hunt pray at high speed in a 200 gallon tank let alone a 75?
Do you think that several experienced fishkeepers could all be wrong and have no reason but to advise you to the best of their abilities?
Do you think that maybe you need to see things from the fishes perspective and resigne yourself to the fact that it would be much kinder to chose a smaller species?

Ps
You are not saving the fish from the store.
You are promoting the store to get another batch in that tiny overstocked tank.
And maybe the guy entering the store after you was looking for one for his 300gallon tank but you had the last one for your 75.

But if you're getting someone else's trade-in????????

No. You seem to think i dont care about your opinions or the fish. If i didnt care i would have bought the Jag when i bought the tank. Or i would have kept the arowana and peacock bass it came woth. Or i would have kept the Festae pair that you all so kindly (not) said couldnt fit in my tank. If i didnt care i wouldnt ask i would just do it and then come on here 3 months later asking why my fish keep dying. If i didnt care i wouldnt take the time to do water changes and clean the filters. If i didnt care i wouldnt be on here offering whatever i can give to other people.

I do effing care about the fish i buy and i dont want to be seen as the arrogant, pig headed bastard who cant take no for an answer. But you, sir, need to understand that not everyone has the luxury of having a fish room where they can keep all the big tanks they have and has a full time job to support the,selves and a family who isnt upset at you for having the animals you do.

Im working with what i have here and im trying my best to make an EDUCATED decision about what i can do that will let me be happen but wont make me seem cruel at the same time. I will not listen to the opinion of one person, like you, just because they have experience. I have experiences too and they have told me different things that yours. My Festae lived fine in the tank. The 16" Arowana did great for the guy that had it before me, it had perfect fins and scales and no eye issues or bent spine or anything else. But thats impossible according to your experiences.

There is contradicting information here, and im doing my best to make what i can of it and make a decision that is good for me and the best it can be for any fish i get.

That will exist as long as life exists, there will always be more than one way to skin a cat and some different ways may all work effectively. It just up to you to decide which is right.....I see lots of contradictions everywhere, MFK included, but I weigh everything in my own head and make my decision based on logic, reason, ration and science. Ultimately, there CAN be several correct answers, but we have to make sure we at least choose ONE of them, because there could always be several MORE wrong answers.
 
Nevermind... Do what you want, man.

Despite having two forums with different sets of members telling you the same thing.

Lol
