Thank you! It's been alot of long hours in the dish room of Cracker Barrel to get we're I'm at hah
So your saying my neon tetras in a heavily planted wood scaped 125gal are cramped and improperly housed? I'll quote a nice guy that came by today to buy some fish..."those are the biggest and nicest neons I have ever seen!" Must be doing something right.
What do you have neons in a 30k oh wait you must be one of them with a rtc in a 55gal and tell everyone that they have a problem.
Bye bye your tonka trucks are waiting.

Proper care, at minimum, is providing adequate care and environment for your fish to live in good health. If your opinion of proper care is less than that then you will receive criticism from those who care about fish. If your opinion of proper care is beyond that then by all means keep your fish to that level.

Touchy are we?.... lol.... I don't think I mentioned your neon tetras and I didn't direct my comment at you. But since we are on the subject. I'm glad your neons are the biggest and nicest neons you've ever seen. So let me ask you something, are you saying if I have a rtc in a 55gal and it's the biggest and nicest rtc I've ever seen the I must be doing something right and all is well? hmmm confused much? You have a 125 gal neon tetra setup that's great now back to what I was trying to say.
Look I never said I disagree with you about providing adequate sized homes for your pets. I just think this is getting annoying, threads these days are full of people bashing on noobs or others about this very subject. An person posts a thread about a fish having ich and somehow due to someones bashing the post drifts off subjects. It's no longer an informative thread. It not longer has anything to do with the original post. It turns into a ppl lecturing or bsing about yeah you lil boys keeping fishes in small tanks...blah blah blah, yeah go buy a bigger tank. Same thing happened with WW look at it now dead. We get on the board to help each other out and exchange knowledge. These threads are now getting pointless. Someone has a problem comes to the boards asks for help and gets a lecture about tank setup and their lack of research and knowledge about the fish they are keeping. Just saying chill out answer the question of if you got any info to share then do share and if not move on.
I got a 1 gal tank with a spongebob solid as a rock biggest and nicest spongebob I ever seen, I must be doing something right. Oh and I'm not a boy so thanks but no thanks you can keep your tonka trucks.
I was being anal I obviously don't feel that you need a river,lake, or ocean to house a fish. See how easy and fast that was. People get so defensive at the mere mention of river, lakes, and ocean being adequate and tanks not being adequate. Taste of your own medicine is how I look at it. You call it adequate I say it's not. But that's just my anal side. But have no fear I'm not usually anal....lol.
Your amazing posts seem to have so much worth on this thread as well as anyones posts about tank size. Oh wait if a fish is not stressed out by being in to small of a tank it is less likely to get sick. Mmmmm...might be a connection. Or that little fact of added volume of a proper tank will have more water to dilute the toxins produced by a fish thus preventing medical issues with the fish. That fact that we all keep fish in a glass box for our entertainment is just something you have to except. If the box isn't big enough your fish has problems. Then you post about why it has problems. Then people tell you why it has problems. After all this happens some dill-hole like you comes on and cries about how tank size doesn't matter and people need to stop talking about it. Well if people would research their fish, get proper tanks before posting problems caused by these things, well I bet it wouldn't be brought up now would it?
It doesn't matter if the post was directed at me. What is more annoying is all the cry babies that come out. If you don't like what you read press the red x button in the right top corner and go away. Simple as that, you don't like fish keeping then why join a fish keeping site? You can't say you like fishkeeping because no tank is an acceptable size for any fish by your terms.
If you had an rtc in a 55gal it would not fit in it to be the largest and best looking fish. It would look like sloth from the Goonies and die. If it had a proper size tank, from you the owner doing research I wouldn't have to tell you it looks like sloth. In fact I would praise you and offer you a cookie for being above the average person and doing the right thing before you bought an animal.
Gotta go now. I have to pick up my horse. I keep it in my garage. It was at the vet because it had some muscle problems.

Very amusing read. But I wasn't crying seems like you need some tissue though. I should watch what I say some ppl take things to seriously literally. Wow I wonder what you're response would've been if I was to have said that I had a killer whale in a 10 gal. LOL. All hell would've broken loose. Who knows I might actually have a killer whale in a 10 gal ....lol...jk that's not my style I only keep great white sharks and froget 10 gal, it's all about betta bowl oh yeah.
However, I will own up to it though I was a victim of online misinterpretation. I am sure Deubie doo and some others too were victims of this. Rodgers after rereading your post I'll have to say it was a valid point in reference to the size of the tank that the ripsaw was previously housed in. However, being that it's the internet, if worded differently I think it wouldn't have been misinterpreted. After all I'm sure you all can see how it was misintepreted. So after rereading this thread I realize it wasn't bashing so I withdraw what I said in my sarcastic posts.
Now back to cry me a river. First I've accepted that we humans keep animals in captivity even with our limitations, but have you? Anyways don't misinterpret nor twist what I say. I never said tank size doesn't matter. I was trying to say stop being so anal not everything in the hobby is about tank size only...hence my sarcastic anal post guess that was misinterpreted too. I guess it can't be helped. Look I get what your saying and I don't disagree with proper care so don't put words into my posts...lol that was funny put words into my posts get it...anyways. Down boy down...chill out.
Oh and about the cookie and praise, not interested.
Hope your horse feels better, I got one in my fish tank myself oh and try replacing them horse shoes with dr. scholls it helps relax their muscles.

noone puts a small fish into the final tank it needs to be housed in for life. Noone upgrades for no reason either. Everybodys gotta start somewhere and a 210 with a few small fish looks like hes doing pretty good to me. Ive seen 30" fish in 180's in person from other members, now thats something to troll about. Most large fish do not reach anywhere near their max sizes in captivity and nigers are also known to be extremly slow growing just like other armored cats. Ive kept several of them over the years and not one has grown more than 2-3" a year. I have a 20"er i moved from a 450 to 300 and he is finding food and eating more in the 300. Rodger what is your biggest tank? y throw stones when you cant house large fish yourself? If this particular niger decides to bust out of that 210 anytime soon which is not gonna happen deubie will just bring it back over and we'll deciede to put it in a 450,650,1700, or 3k. If you dont think thats enough room another friend has a 4k and 7k. Ohio has things under control.

^ Just wanted to point out that i'm one of those people who like to put a small monster fish into their final home at the start rather than constantly upgrade or try and upgrade in time to prevent stunting... just take my fahaka for example, when i got her she was a mere 1.5" and i did not hesitate one second to put her in the 200G by herself...
So please don't say NO ONE does it, since this practice is not at all un-common for MFK, just that there are also a lot of people who seem to prefer the buy them small and sell them later approach coz they don't have large enough tanks but want to own monster fish as well...
