Ok, so since it's his uncles fish, why did he take them if his tank is broken? Why not leave them with the uncle where they were to begin with?
Again, nothing but assumptions on your part. He never said it was his uncles fish, or that the fish came from his uncles tank, or that he took possession of the fish after his tank broke. Seriously, you might want to actually take the time to read what's been posted before going off about something that you obviously aren't fully grasping. In reference to this FH, all the OP said was that his uncle "got him". For all you know that FH could have been given as a birthday present 30 days ago when his tank wasn't broken.
I guess if you get off flaming 14 yr old kids, versus tryng to give them a gentle nudge in the right direction that's your call.
