Pointless and ghetto. How would you even fit a fish in that tub with it piled so high with junk? And is that stuff seriously next to your bed?

Ok I'm new to this whole fish thing. well new compared to people here. But if I got into this hobby realizing I'd be converting to rubbermaid I'd probably not get into it. Its glass the stuff we use for house windows and cars I'm pretty sure you can put water in it and usually expect the best. lol the pressures on the glass in skyscrappers is pretty good too anyone want to work in a 25 storey rubbermaid container that has to be so much more able to with stand the pressure. Haha or how about a rubbermaid submarine. Kid grow up stuff happens and if your tank breaks you deal with it and move on but I'd count on more not breaking. But hey man the beatles did sing we all live in a rubber submarine oh no wait yellow submarine there goes that theory.

decent tank from walmart. oxymoron much?

Walmart doesn't sell walmart brand tanks...the fish are junk, yes, but there's no reason to say the same about the non-living fish supplies.

My 55 came from wal mart. It is nice.

you can get a 55 gallon with hood, cheapie filter for a decent price at Wal-Mart, which is good, especially for people new in the hobby

Why do we even try with this kid anymore? We all say our opinions, and he sits there, reads them, and completely disreguards the facts in front of him and buys too large of fish for his tiny "tanks."

ummmmmm DO NOT TALK TO ME LIKE THAT that is one thing that pisses me off is ppl thinking im selfish!!!!

what do you expect when you put 2 devils in a tiny foot print rubbermaid and an oscar in the same size rubbermaid, and jam yellow labs with kribs in a tank on the floor. you cant expect to come to a site with people that love fish and dish out the treatment you do to your fish, and be loved. its just not gonna happen. people talk like that because you ask for advice and dont listen, and its not the odd bit of info you disragard its everything and its consistant. people go out their way to help you and you go throwing it back in their faces and you treat your fish badly as a result of your disregarding of info.
you cant have it both ways.
