sad, but who knows how many tanks like this exist now. it doesnt look like a 50 gallon to me, maybe smaller. but regardless with redtail cats cost only 30-40 bucks and pacus under 10, its not surprising to see. maybe no one should pick it up so this owner actually needs to deal with his own situation. just a thought
 
Its not empty the fish are in the corner the shiney ball is the pacu. im guessing they re huddled together cause the filter output is there. This a good example of when employees say "they will only grow to their environment" and buying a fish to sell when it gets big.
 
I'm torn. On one hand I want to go save the fish but on the other I feel it encourages the behavior. Its the same for places like walmart and their fish. I want to help the fish individually but dont want to encourage them selling the fish. What do you guys think about it? :(
