what do you guys think about this guys fish keeping practices

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Can Flower horns be kept together? Or will they fight?

If they can be kept together, why not fin tag them, and take the barriers out. then you can give them room to swim, and still tell who's who.
 
Nice, I off the Home depot. Looks like I can keep 4 large cichlids in just a 55g.

What would you do then if you were at this guys house?

In the end of the encounter probably not ever be welcome back because as a chef I know how to open a can and a BIG OLE CAN OF WHOOOOPASSSSS needs to be opened for him

It would really depend upon if that is just simply for a showing off to prospective clients looking to buy, and then they go back in thier tanks.

Then there really is not much to be said. After all take the fish shows I have been to where fish are dropped into 5 g tanks for a competition where countless strangers wander by to ooodle them, which is no better than this video.

Yet if this is indeed the way the dude keeps his fish, he would most likely not enjoy the conversation which would indeed start off by complimenting him on the nice look his fish have, but, would then invariably work it's way to his method of keeping them which would most certainly make me an unwelcome guest in his house because I pull no punches in expressing my thoughts to people.

For example, let's take today at lunch time when a diet freak comes to my food counter. She asks what comes with the special Sloppy Joe. So I tell her a side of pasta and the bolognese sauce served over multigrain bread. To which she launches out about to much carbs. To the which I tell her to much carbs!!!!!!! YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW THE PORTION SIZES HOW CAN YOU TELL IT IS TO MUCH CARBS WITHOUT THAT KNOWLEDGE? I then proceed to tell her that my food is designed to metabolize and there is no way there is to much carbs on the plate. To which she bugggers off and the next person in line orders the lunch and enjoys it.

Will she come back I could give a rats butt, but the 15 people who had the special for lunch enjoyed it.

So yeh I would most probably not be welcomed in his house or he would be a converted from the error of his fish keeping ways. At the very least he would have a few web sites to check out his pracitices against.
 
"puppy mills". That is what came to my mind at first to.
I have a soft spot for all living things and even if something came from a rough background in the wild like a Betta, does not mean that the commercial bread specimens should be put through hell in a cup, bowel or fancy vase just because they are so equipped to handle hard times better than others. I have 4 female Betta in my 29 gal that are some of the smartest, most active swimmers and interactive fish that I own. Not to mention their beauty.
All fish we keep should be given the very best we can provide for them. And if what we can provide is substandard in any way, then we should not own them.
