Put a pacu in a 10 gallon tank for a while. No idea what he was or anything and I was maybe 10. My dad eventually got me a 55 gallon and put him in there. I still remember the petsmart guy telling me it'll be fine in a 10 gallon lol
hahahahaha, I did that one as well !
"daddy, I want a fishy tank like you!"
ok son,
and I want this fishy, the one with the red belly..................
(I was a reefer at the time, knew dick about FW, sure the little tag said 22", but itll never live that long, right?)
from the 10 to a 20, then into my old bow front plexi 50
few years later we move out of state, oh boy
tried the alkaseltzer trick, narc him up, had to lift vertically because of the top plate on the plexi, up and out, straight head first into a bucket, off to the pet store, thrashing about like crazy
where he became part of the storefront display tank
