Insane Overstocking- you MUST see this!

jillianmarquett · 08/10/2009, 03:47 PM

Hey guys! Jillian here.

I was on youtube and came across this guy's nano-reef. This is the most insane overstocking I've ever witnessed. Its quite disturbing. You HAVE to check this out!

By the way- there is a Lionfish in there too!

Those poor fish!!! How could anyone put 6 fish in a nano?!? And then have a long spine urchin taking up even more swimming room.

coral_lagoon · 08/10/2009, 04:06 PM

Maybe hes just holding them for a pal..

Cantonesefish · 08/10/2009, 04:09 PM

FWIW at least pm the Youtube poster and tune him in... if everyone reading this does, maybe he'll get a clue

jillianmarquett · 08/10/2009, 04:10 PM

Good idea- will do :-)

evsalty · 08/10/2009, 04:15 PM

Wheres the Lion fish....I was looking forward to seeing the Lion fish.

username in use · 08/10/2009, 04:16 PM

did you see that the comment option has been disaled for his video? He was probably getting ripped a new one constantly and just turned it off thinking they were crazy. That doesnt even look good like that, let alone the cruelty.

reefergeorge · 08/10/2009, 04:19 PM

This is from one of his other videos. Still doesn't make sense to keep three tangs and a trigger in a 6 or 8 gallon tank.

This is only a quarantine tank. Instead to have a place without life to quarantine my new corals and fishes, I did this place, better to quarantine worried fishes. This fish is now on a big place.

jillianmarquett · 08/10/2009, 04:21 PM

This guy is either dumb as a weed or a total jerk. Maybe even both.

The Lionfish was in his last video- not sure if its still in the tank or not. I think he still has the other clip up.

luther1200 · 08/10/2009, 04:27 PM

Comments are off, but you can still click on his name and message him. I just sent him a massage being very respectful. I didn't want to instantly offend him so he wouldn't listen.

coral_lagoon · 08/10/2009, 04:29 PM

Hey Jillian where have you been?

bigworm175 · 08/10/2009, 04:37 PM

Good lord those fish can't find an inch to swim or get away from each other!! I tried to PM him but he has blocked all but friends' messages. A trigger and all those tangs???? How do we help this guy and more importantly his fish?

luther1200 · 08/10/2009, 04:47 PM

Maybe ne blocked it after I messaged him. I am pretty sure mine went through. I clicked on his name. Then send massage. But you have to have a youtube account I think.

Bonta · 08/10/2009, 04:58 PM

My favorite tang is stuck in that nightmare. D :

bigworm175 · 08/10/2009, 05:07 PM

I have an account but I couldn't politely tell him is being cruel

He just needs RC to show him the light.

Henryreef · 08/10/2009, 05:26 PM

wow that is really sad

dc · 08/10/2009, 05:42 PM

Honestly, as healthy as they look, no way have they been in there very long. I wouldn't be surprised if it was just set up for the video.

Let's not get carried away here either. OK?

DamnPepShrimp · 08/10/2009, 05:46 PM

People like this reallyprofanity removed me the profanity removed off!!!! I want to shove him in a tiny closet for a year and see how he likes it......!!!!!

This wasn't really a request.

fishkid6692 · 08/10/2009, 06:13 PM

so if he can do that can i put a baby whale in my 180g? and i'll upgrade to a 200g when it's bigger.

but seriously though. how stupid do you have to be to not notice that tank is too small for them.........

Mouse · 08/10/2009, 06:26 PM

No way they have been in that tank any longer than the video. That trigger would of killed the inverts and rearranged the rockwork if they had been.
