For those who don't know Surreal Life is a WB reality show that premiered last night. It featured B and C List celebrities and various has-beens (Vince Neil, Garbrille Carteris, Emmanuelle Lewis, MC Hammer, Corey Feldman, Jerry Manthey and Brande Roderick.)

The first thing you notice when you walk in the house is an island-type salt water aqaurium. I would guess 150 gallon'ish. Later on when they are explaining the rules of the house they mention the tank. It went something like this:

Read by Gabrielle Carteris:

Please don't let us die!!!

You have have been entrusted with the care of several rare (endangered? can't remember the word...) yellow tangs.They are solely your responsability...

They then show the tank with I would say at least 10 yellow tangs. They then flash to a bewildered looking Vince Neil feeding flakes to the tank.

Maybe I've been reading too many Tang Police threads but this crew with a over-stocked tank full of tangs sure sounds like a recipe for disaster to me even if its only for 10 days. Too bad it doesn't last longer so we could see them ich-ridden,emaciated and dis-colored. Now that's quality television! GT, did you set up their tank? :) Will keep all posted if anyone is interested in these fishies' fate. BTW the show is already taped so any rescue the tang campaign would be too late.

Just thought somebody else might have seen it or found this interesting.

I know my LFS owner has told me stories of people just stocking their tanks for a party. He said that everything is dead within a week and that they would come back for more in about six months when the next party rolled around :( .
BTW, he says once he found this out he stopped selling to them, no problem, all they did was go down the street and find someone who would.
