Hopefully this is consolation. If you ever have to rescue goldfish from them and end up with fancies, they are actually a decent choice for a tropical tank since they're bred in the tropics.
Don't know about commons or comets but at least there's that.

Mental illness comes in many forms. I feel like people who spend all day worrying about other people's business exhibit a form of mental defect. It's no way I could keep my wife happy, raise my kids and properly care for my own animals if I spent all day worrying about what someone else is doing in their home. The world is full of nosey, child like adults who spend to much time pouting because they want everyone to think exactly as they do.

So, if you had neighbors who continually abused and neglected their dog...would you feel that speaking up was somehow beneath you? Too time-consuming? Perhaps too "child like"?

How about if they were mistreating their children the same way?

Everybody draws the line in a slightly different spot. Fortunately, many people seem to find room in their lives for things outside of their own immediate family and personal concerns.

You just compared a dog to a child we have nothing to discuss.

And for anyone else who wants to act like they have so much morals miss me with the b.s because if you did you wouldn't keep animals in cages they want to be free. Hypocrites justify their own cruelty, while trying to dump on others. News flash none of these fish want to be in your tank they want to be free.

Again...the exact location of the line varies from person to person, but it always exists.

It would appear that this post is doing exactly what it is denigrating.

Exactly the evasion I expected. But you are correct in your last observation; not much point in this discussion.

Wow, not sure how this thread has got to this!

....and yet you go and stick your unwanted nose into our thread, lol.

News flash none of these fish want to be in your tank they want to be free.

Just for the record, I believe you have fish in your tanks. Unbelievable, lol.


Guys, don't worry too much about Mr Hock, I've looked through his posting history and the guy likes nothing better than a verbal punch up, some of it's quite funny actually.

This guy has a load of mates in the Japanese jungle and apparently they all have a good laugh at us on the forum when he tells them some of the stuff that he sees on here! Yes, it's all there in his history if anyone cares to look.

I think the clue to his objectives on this forum are in his name. He's just on here to....S.Hock!

Disgracing the name of a great fish! Sharp Tooth bass would go crazy if he saw this!!

THEY'RE AT IT AGAIN!!!

I thought this thread was well over and done with but developments today have brought me back to it. I was going to start a new thread but the subject matter is exactly the same reason why I started this thread in the first place, so I thought I'd tag it on.

The reason? My wife's friends up the road are offloading fish again. They came down today to ask if I would take them because.....wait for it....."they want to start keeping goldfish now but their current tropical fish won't die!!!" I kid you not.

If you remember from my first post in this thread, these are the people who have the attitude, "aquarium fish don't live long anyway, and in any case they're only fish."

This time, it would seem, they have a batch of fish that must be extremely hardy and it is annoying them somewhat that they aren't dead yet! Usually they have a very fast turnover of fish, all the details you'll find in post #1 regarding the last time they wanted to offload fish.

I asked what fish they have and they said, lol, "a black thingy one, two with straggly fins and two small plecos." She went onto inform me that one of the plecos head is severely deformed because it's got "tentacles" all over it, obviously a bristlenose, but I wasn't in the mood to enlighten her.

I remember all too well the wretched state of their water when I took the last batch from them last year, so I just said, "I'll have them, I'll come up and collect them when it's convenient for you."

And that is how I left it. The woman, my wife's friend, will contact my wife in the next couple of days probably.

When they asked me if I'd take some more fish i thought, great, they must be fed up and giving up on the hobby, and then they mentioned their next project....goldfish. Poor, poor poor goldfish!

My main concern now is, what the hell am I going to do with goldfish when they decide they want shut of them too? Lol.

I cannot believe these people.
