Its all preference. Its unfair to say that one style of fishkeeping is "cruel" or "wrong" without sufficient evidence.
Perhaps if all the fish in an "asian style" tank freaked out at once and the tank exploded sending glass shards every where other then that i'm not sure how someone will get hurt eitherrallysman;3015062; said:I'm still trying to figure out how someone is going to get hurt..........

Me use little words. Big fish. Little tank. New human not know enough. Fish dead. You see now? Me hope so.
And I'm not picking on anyone specifically. I just can't think of a clearer way to explain this.
Are you assuming that every person who visits this site knows enough to grasp why overstocking might be okay?

But did you know that almost every person I encounter at a Petco or Petsmart still thinks cycling means running the filter for a day or two with the tank empty? Those people come here, see these ideas and DO IT, without understanding their water. That's my concern. There. I said it yet again.
