Does this kind of thing make you as angry as it does me?

So, what are they going to put for a minimum size for pacus? I don't think they should be available at all in this hobby. I think a 10x3 is still too small for them to be housed properly. They really need to be in ponds. Is petsmart actually going to tell their customers that the three dollar fish is going to require literally thousands of dollars to properly care for in the not-so-distant future? I mean, this is monsterfishkeepers, with over 92k members of people who are dedicated to monster fish, and I have enough fingers to count the number of members that can care for pacus properly. How about if they focus on proper info on oscars and the such, and stop ordering animals that aren't suitable for the general public?


I agree 100% You know the people I don't care about so much, they can fend for themselves....and some people will say it's only a fish who cares? I care! I hate to see anything suffer needlessly.
Lets face it the fish in the craigslist ad are suffering.

You're right, they are. They are suffering because their owner didn't take the time to learn about their requirements and didn't care enough after purchasing them to do anything further. However, these large chain stores are making these fish suffer for a profit.

I wish I had the time space and money to save them all. But alas I don't:(
