Better research

[Jazeel55]

We should do better research before we buy certain fish. I admit some fish are beautiful and fancy but a lot will out grow the average system. We have to think about the quality of life for the fish over our own Aquadic enjoyment. If we as buyers refuse to buy certain fish the vendors will stop selling them. There nothing worst then a fish out growing it?s tank and you having to find a person to buy it and no one wants it because ( my system isn?t that big) so What Happens now. Do you just throw it out and let it die. Ok ok am getting off my soap box my rant is over.

I think a big problem is people do research but then someone tell them that the fish wouldn't get anywhere that big or it will take a long time too, which in both case it turns out to be not true.

Now depending on the fish you may be able to sell it or in some case your LFS may take it back, but that isn't always the case as most LFS don't want very large fish, which take up space and are usually hard to sell.

There should also be mental health screenings for all aquarists prior to being able to buy fish....last thing we'd want to do is expose a completely innocent fish to a nut job.
