nano mania · 09/20/2009, 08:18 AM

This guy must be stopped.

33 gallon tank. Just when you think this guy couldn't another fish in there, another angel shows up.

Ohiomom · 09/20/2009, 08:21 AM

so sad..

robs.mark · 09/20/2009, 09:14 AM

sickening

LUVSPS · 09/20/2009, 09:14 AM

Very sad

extreme5450 · 09/20/2009, 09:21 AM

thats pretty bad but theres only one tang in there.

Sisterlimonpot · 09/20/2009, 09:24 AM

to each their own...... he'll learn

Mopar Reefer · 09/20/2009, 09:59 AM

Wrong in so many ways, FAIL!

sedor · 09/20/2009, 10:02 AM

WOW...that is sad. The crazy part is it could be a very pretty tank if it had a group of small fish. The large ones are way to distracting. If he put the $ he invests in replacing fish into a a new tank he could probably have a 250+.

bigworm175 · 09/20/2009, 11:44 AM

Whoa. They can barley turn around.

jjmcat · 09/20/2009, 11:58 AM

This has got to be a joke or something.Those fish look way to healthy to be in a tank that small.

LUVSPS · 09/20/2009, 12:08 PM

I think so too. I guess we'll never know but I'm guessing that he put those fish in there just for that video. Although they look pretty comfortable with that tank. Who knows?

Stuff like this happens, though. Please, let's not go crazy with this thread. Hopefully this person realizes soon and gives the fish a good home in a bigger tank. Or, this vid is just a joke to see how crazy we would go.

I agree 100% let’s not take things personal. It happens and he probably just doing it to get a rise out of people.

coral_lagoon · 09/20/2009, 12:29 PM

That was staged..

sanababit · 09/20/2009, 12:36 PM

Sorry, I just cleaned it out.

MarineGirl411 · 09/20/2009, 01:08 PM

Wow. That makes me really mad. I really hope it's a joke or something. Disgusting.

username in use · 09/20/2009, 01:15 PM

maybe its his quarantine. It does look like its sitting on a hardwood floor.

IridescentLily · 09/20/2009, 01:15 PM

Well,
Looks like the person is from Asia perhaps.

There are two of my favorite fish; the Queen angel, and the Imperator angel.
Very surprising that they're kept in a 30g, and also surprised that the fish look healthy physically.

I think it's real, not fake.

It can happen. Not saying it's right. I'm just saying some people have superior
husbandry, as far water chemistry, feeding, etc, but have no common sense, lol.

It's reeeallly hard to watch that angel barely turn around. And I'm way surprised the two angels are not fighting. The don't look injured from fighting or anything.

Looks to be about the same size tank that my local fish store keep Imperators when the have them. Sometimes the lfs will have them in that 30g tank for a month.

I'm a person who thinks angels shouldn't even be caught or sold, at all, period.
That said, those angels look healthier than any angels I've seen in fish stores. I don't think this person is the worst angel keeper I've ever seen, as far as the visual of the fish health-wise anyway.
I'll save my energy for the LFS who sell them to people. ;-)

widmer · 09/20/2009, 01:27 PM

I think often times people justify it by feeling like they are providing a bigger home than the angel was 'living in' at the fish store when they see angels kept in small holding tanks...

IridescentLily · 09/20/2009, 01:34 PM

Widmer, exactly. You put it much less "wordy" than I did. :-)

We should all be condemned for not letting our tangs school freely in the ocean..

ludnix · 09/20/2009, 02:34 PM

Here's the translated version of his blog. It doesn't seem to provide much information but it clarifys the fact that it is indeed their setup and it is not temporary.

Capt_Cully · 09/20/2009, 03:34 PM

Maybe the angel and or tang police will show up and shove the owners into a medium sized dog crate and see how THEY like it.

snorvich · 09/20/2009, 05:41 PM

Well the situation is temporary as the beautiful green carpet anemone will definitely clean his tank. Use of the term "tang police" is offensive to many of us by the way.
