tank ethics

[ewurm]

My girlfriend overfeeds terribly. 20g tank. Refuses to do water changes and yells at me for dripping when I try to do them. 5 fish that only grow to be 1" more than I feed my 4 Pacu, Tinfoil, and Bala in my 55... more frequently. Shes always like "the Pleco and Catfish will clean it up. Don't worry.

You have 4 Pacus in a 55?

I ment when a CA/SA fish is made to tolerate salty water. Or a African that is ment to live in salty water is put in straight fresh water. I know as fish are bred there pickiness lowers and you can successfully keep frontosa in 'normal' water. But with fish that require certain levels (discus for example) and are at risk due to being kept out of those levels, this is what annoys me.
I keep synos with my New World Cichlids and wouldn't complain about this if someone else did it.

oh you mean like say tanganyikan cichlids and discus?

thanks for the replies everyone, alot of things i've never thought of and alot we all have seen way too much. how about when you clean out your filter and you find strands of your girlfriends hair stuck in random parts(that falls under the urk list. it's rather minor, but it's there. damn them

700g is their next move. When I move (in about 2 years) they will find a newer, and larger home.

People who work at Walmart and sell fish to people. There should be laws or regulations towards this manner.

"Thats not a Pacu, its a Tinfoil Barb. See the picture? see he has red too?"

*drops fish on ground from 6ft high and grabs it and hold it for 30 seconds until he remembers where he put the bag*
