It really makes me mad :irked:

dont ya just hate it when your friends say "theyre just fish why do you like them so much?"

I was looking at a topic on another site i frequent.. The topic had to to with a girl not being able to find info on "spotted african leaf fish". the girl who posted it had her stock list in her sig:
the tank was either a 20H or 29.
2 needlenose gar
3 striped raph cats
6 black tetras
1 farlowella cat
1 red lobster
3 balloon mollies
1 knight goby
... And... 1 shovelnose cat.

I proceed to ask, "why do you have a shovelnose cat in your tank?!"
she says, "im looking for info on leaf fish, not critique on my tank".
I said that she should care about her fish enough to not crowd them like that.

Honestly, how much more stupid could she get?! *knock on wood*

you made a great point, this person should care about her currently horribly stocked tank and not worry about the fish she wants to add. And if you think about it, part of the info about the leaf fish would include compatibility, and at some point the person would have to address your point. People like that who won't take advice/constructive criticism can be very frustrating, hopefull you can get through to her
 
Yeah dude ive been trying for the past few minutes... I may be able to get her to get a larger tank, but she doesnt wanna get rid of her fish...
It seems like im getting through to her about the larger tank thing though.
 
With my friend, he has a few 30 gallon tanks, and is pretty good at it, but one day he got a common pleco. The store owner, who usually was quite knowledgeable, had lied to him (not sure if it was incompetence or greed). Anyhoo, he figures out what size tank it needs, and comes to my house and says: "Hey, I know you have a 55 waiting for fish, and I got this pleco, and".... I took him in, we're waiting until he gets the money for a 90-125 gallon...
