anyone else see this? http://www.ratemyfishtank.com/friendemail.php/13059

i think that doing this to any fish that you are keeping as a pet is a bit disturbing. ok enough of my rant about this just wanted to get everyone's thoughts about this.

i think the advice says a lot: "go big or go home"... they must see the fish as a trophy. Disturbing to me, but to each their own.

Fish looks pretty unhappy. It looks dead actually.

Umm I hope my Convicts don't get that big they are only in a 29gallon tank!
It looks like a mutant fish your pull out of the hudson river or something. Ya know like the ones with 5 eyes.

Eh, the pleco doesn't surprise me. I know someone that has like 5 plecos and 2 of them are about a foot long.

I've just never seen convict cichlids that big. I've seen them about 4" or so but never that large.

i added the link because the pleco is sitting on a countertop out of water for no good reason, :)

Oh i see. Yeah what the hell is that all about. Let me go take my fish out of my tank and take pictures of them.
My Toadfish would not like that one bit he would either bite me with 1 of his many rows of teeth or sting me his dorsal fin.

My biggest gar lets me hold it with no fear at all!

The thing is, I don't take mine out of the water!

That's the stupidest thing you can do, stress your fish just to impress someone. I would never take any fish out of the water for no good reason. I think they don't really know what fish keeping is about.

by **Serial324556** » Wed Apr 16, 2008 9:27 pm

My Toadfish can walk on his 2 front fins. I just got a leash for him, I usually take him out with me when I get the mail.
He almost got a chipmunk yesterday!

some people are just dumb...

by **gumbii** » Sun May 11, 2008 9:06 pm

you guys need to chill out, and remember that once again they are only fish...

you guys are like those people that have strollers for thier dogs and dress thier cats... sickos...

i always take my fish out of the water to measure they and weigh they... always... when i have to sex my snakes i get a probe and stick it in thier arses just so i know what they are... when i go to a petshop and look at a new snake i grab it's tail, twist it, and pinch it untill thier sex organs are forced out of the body... the same thing goes with birds... i get my parrots wings chopped off, nails clipped and beak filed...

my pit bulls puppies get thier ears CUT OFF!!!...

how is taking a fish that can survive alot more tougher situations get so stressed out being out of the water for a couple of minutes...??? i don't get it... how about when you take the fish home...? they put it in a bag with little oxygen and let them swim in thier own filth untill you get them home...

man... i've lost a couple of $100+ fancy/rare goldfish by squeezing out thier eggs to make them breed... oh well... i'm not the only one that does that, and people have been doing it for years...

so stop complaining or leaving what looks to me like ignorant remarks... we're supposed to be adults...
