i am growing up sharks and getting rid of them, but i have a friend with a full shark tank that is ready for them. I will also own them for more than 2/3 of their life.... but thats what i am doing and i am not lieing to anyone or tyring to please anyone thats not okay with me doing what i do.
there's no problem growing out fish for people, I've done it before because they actually want the fish but need it a certain size before they can take it. The hard thing is assuming someone will take a 3'+ catfish or bass when your done with them. Most people would prefer to raise it themselves and will have no problem getting themselves a baby. And TSN get 3-4'
Alex, I personally don't care how you keep your fish, but that's just not true. TSNs have the capability to grow almost as big as RTCs, the only large difference is girth.
Are you that upset? Why do you KEEP mentioning the apology, did he personally hurt your feelings? You might be a respected member here but you are part of the reason this place is not fun. Go ahead and get mad, try and come back with mad, angry, witty comebacks but you are going waaay overboard with this. Calm down and relax, watch your 5inch fish in your 600 gallon tank, that's why you have them.
how i am i angry at all? I feel bad for this kid, that he apologizes because he wants to be liked by people. But then he turns around and does the same stuff everyone had a problem with. Nothing wrong with growing out fish, but there is still a responsible way of doing it.
I got him to come down to $450.
And Jessica, you are wrong all the fish stores round here respect me. So I don't know what you by not the good way... please explain.
I know of at least two LFS owners that had something to say about you.

This...there was a 2-3ft RTC on my wholesale list for several MONTHS for very cheap. The wholesaler is pretty big in New England and I know they serve a lot of LFS in many states...they simply couldn't sell it.
Alex, it seems you try to pick up all these big fish to impress people here? What about trying to find some rare fish and raising those up...ones that can fit in your tanks. TSN, pbass, oscars...you see them everywhere, it would be cool to try and find, hard to find fish.
Haha you Americans and your terrible economy! Tanks go for a minimum 10 bucks per gallon here in B.C. Not saying better deals don't come along, but here 750 for a 150 gallon with filter would be a friggen steal, fish keeping is pricey in Canada. And it's equally worse now that the dollars are equal. You simply could not get a 300 gallon tank for under $1500, new, used, broken. You guys pay like 250 for an fx 5 and the cheapest i could get one would be $399. Everything's in demand and people will pay that up here.
No offense i'm more or less just extremely jealous of your rock bottom prices!

You should remove the fish police balls from your *** because they are deep! calm down and tend to your fish. You spend all this time crying about things that dont concern you. Why dont you move along and help another member because he OBVIOUSLY dose not give a crap about your input so why keep shoveling it?

this thread is completely messed up. and what your doing is so random and sparratic (sp?) its just not right. you were just posting in the stingray section about how to feed the retic, actually you called it a retric, you just bought. you had no clue how to take care of thing based on your questions on that thread, yet on this one, your an expert? you need to get your stuff straight and just house what you can and do some research before you go out and buy all these "rare" fish

Once again, neither of you understand. I don't care how he keeps his fish, its his maturity thats the problem, and as we can now all see you have the same issue. Mommy and Daddy should have regulations on fish keeping with kids like you two. You kids should stick to petsmart and listen to their advice, as you obviously don't fit in around here....
""I keep rare fish as well. Name the two lfs owners please.""
Are you that immature? She can't list them because thats going against her professional stature she has to keep because she works in that department. Jesus are you like 8 years old kid? Do you not get the hint by all the people that are against what your doing just in this thread?
