That's probably more like a 75-90 gallon, but it's still pretty bad. All the fish look healthy, so it's definitely not the worst tank I've seen.

Holy moly! In a 600 gallon tank, that fish selection would be incredible. In that tank of less than 100 gallons, it just a recipe for disaster.

5 or six tangs, trigger fish, rabbitfish, clowns ect. in a 30 to 36 inch long tank. Tangs swim about 10" and turn around. Snow white sand so its brand new. Whoever sold him all those fish should be shot!

It's the kind of over crowding in a small tank that you'd see in a fish store.

Not only does he have excessive tangs, and large angels together he has a smaller bursa trigger and a pretty good sized Niger...oh yeah and a clown, Clown Trigger..... in a 3' long (he has his tank size specs in top corner) tank!

Looks like at least a 50g, but still, I hope there's a huge sump and fuge hiding behind that wall or in the basement. Maybe this is temporary?? The fish look a bit agitated, but who knows why?

You see videos like this all the time.

Not everyone cares about the wellbeing of fish - some people are just selfish.

It does "look" good, but if you know anything about fish keeping, you'd know those fish are not happy.


Sad, really.

would it be that they don't care or they don't know?

I hope it's only temporary if he's spending all that money on fish, but by the looks of things I don't think it is.

Almost every time I got to the LFS there is someone buying a tang. Most of them seem pretty stupid (example: "give me two of those yellow ones"). So I'm sure there are hundreds of tangs out there dying per day

Good business for the LFS..
I wouldn't trust the advice that LFS gives you if they are selling "two of those yellow ones" to someone that seems like they don't have a clue.
