Found this on youtube...lets just put every fish we can think of into a 166 gallon tank...and add a green spotted puffer...YIKES!!!!! One of the craziest tanks I have seen, I am starting to believe that RTR is right...the thought of a community tank is a little insane..

There are many knowledgeable fish keepers on this forum willing to help and give great advice...The advice is free; What you choose to do with it gives it value.

Re: The Noah's Arch of fish tanks
What I would like to do, is to put the owner into the tank, and make him stay there for a week - and then ask him what he thinks about living in such a little space.

why would you let your fish stress for over 2 mins before helping it?

Re: The Noah's Arch of fish tanks
What a nightmare!
I do hate Noah's Ark tanks. The attitude that allows folks to to do that makes my skin crawl - do they like their pets or hate and despise them? Folks rearing fish for food in aquaculture handle the critters so much better than such "hobbyists".
