Abused Fish

[Bderick67]

The pic below is of two tin foil barbs that came with a 55g tank I bought. The tank was never cleaned, water was never changed, Water was only added for evaporation. According to the seller she had these tinfoils for 6 years.

Unfortunately they both died within 4 hours of being acclimated to clean aquarium water.

ps you can tell these poor guys were not fed very well.

those are small tinfoils for their age...

poor little guys.

 

[dbcb314]

yeah you can tell. they aren't thick at all and are short for their age.

They were definitely abused. My tinfoils are just over 1 yr old and much much larger than those.
