Sucky LFS...most blatant overstock ever

[Bottomfeeder]

I'm serious. Maybe it's 15, It's no bigger than that, and the filter has a line that goes across the bottom...the fish can't move without kicking the filter. The Red Oscar is more or less in bad shape, just kinda leand againsed a fake plant. The Catfish/Pleco/Pacu are all in OK shape. There are lots of feeders so I assume they dont know the difference between a Piranha and a Pacu...

BF, people want to see proof. Words alone will not suffice it. Outgrowing their bowls is ridiculous. How can you assume their history?

Well...that was more sarcastic on my part. But most fish are sold as babies, so for 4 giant fish to appear is a surprise and to have them dumped in a small tank like that is a shock.
So guys I just learned that the camera is working, but I'm not sure when I'll be able to get back there and if I can download any pics.
But guys, I have no reason to make this up. Think about it: Why would I just make up this story? I'm not a troll...

No one was pointing a finger that you are a troll. Point in case is some of us have a hard time picturing this scenario which is why we asked for pics earlier about it. Imagine stuffing the fish just like that as you have described. It is not a thing we see everyday in our stores. While stores are indeed notorious for overstocking their tanks, we understand their reasons but the scenario you described is quite a stretch which is why pics are being asked.

How are you a hero by getting an organization involved that would turn that around as evidence as to why people should stop keeping fish?

Overestimation of fish size or underestimation of tank size? Why don't we get some noobs to start a poll.

A 12" pacu has a bit of dorsal ventral height as well...
