I think we just need to realize that he's just a kid who is head over heals for fish....regardless of what he doesn't know. He needs to realize that many people on MFK have been keeping fish for longer than he's been alive....regardless of what he thinks he knows. As a parent of teenagers, there is nothing complicated here. This is typical adult/teen interaction. Teen brains work differently than ours do. That's not a slam to anyone but it's true.
Andrew...just stop and take a deep breath, man. You have a whole life in front of you. You don't need to "go for the gold" just yet. Just chill out for a while and read what these people are telling you. Don't comment on everything and don't start a thread about every single thing that comes to mind. You don't have to know everything just yet. I've been doing this since you were a pup and I don't know everything myself. So just relax and enjoy the hobby. IMO....you don't have to decide to go big....it just happens when it happens.

This guy has no common sense. That's it, I'm a teen also and I would never do something like that.

Agreed. I'm 16, and I've never done anything like that... a total waste of life through ignorance. The "he's young and enthusiastic" answer is true for some people, but that's more the people who ask a lot of random questions about fish they dont now, or probably never will, own. People are like "then why ask the question?" it's because "he's young and loves fish of all kinds and wants to discuss them." Piling fish carelessly into a tank has nothing to do with enthusiasm. Just ignorance. That oscaroo kid, is enthusiastic. When you guys told him not to do something, he didnt do it again. This guy just does whatever he wants, no matter who tells him what. He's probably gonna keep mistreating fish, which is a shame. I wouldnt care about ignorance all that much if it didnt become a waste of life.
Lots of life being wasted out there, think about roadkill....at least sunnies and yellow perch are in no current danger of endangerment/extinction, which I'm sure cannot be said for the wild populations of many fish kept in the hobby.
Anyways, a sunny in a 55 probably has more space than a rtc in any tank, and there's a lot of rtcs in the trade.
Not saying what he's doing is ok, and i didnt read through this whole thread, but maybe you guys could chill out a little bit.
