I wanted to see if anyone else has these type of people in there life.
My brother in law has 2 tanks. 1 is a 26 gallow bowfront with a 8" jack and 2 african cichlids (africans newly added). I had always told him that jack's are aggressive, and he always denied that his was, even when I told him it was because before his jack was a juvenile and they get more aggressive and territorial with age. Well he adds a generic blue african from the "assorted" tank which I told him not to and a bumblebee. I told him that they would fight with eachother and the Jack would probably kill them. Well as of yesterday the blue african has really messed up the bumblebee, and the jack is readily chasing both. Well he says the blue one is just a "bad" cichlid because he's kept them before with no aggression (ive know him for 10+ years and I never saw). And he said the jack is just going to run into him but not bite him...lol. He also had OVER medicated the tank so bad the day before I got there that the tank was so blue you could barely see anything. I talked him into a 60% water change(that all he would do) but that was it, and he says that I dont know what Im talking about because I said he should use aquarium salt instead of the BS medications available. And he treaded for diseases that were not even there, he treated just because he got the new fish. I snuck some salt in the tank when he wasnt looking though to try and help the bumblebee recover. His other tank is a 10g with 7 goldfish, 1 of witch is 8", another is 6" and the others range from 2-4", all of which they got out of there neighbors pond, except for 2 they won at the fair. The thing is he has seen my tanks, and the fish I keep, and how prestine the conditions of my tanks are in water quality and clarity yet does not listen to a damn thing I say. And his jack is beatiful and is the sole survivor of a 26 that had 2 blood parret, 1 midas, 1 bumblebee (not the new one), convicts, electric blue's, all of which "just died" and had nothing to do with tank condition...right. Sorry to post such a long message but I really wanted to see if anyone else has people in their life that are like this.
