cichlid7 Posted July 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 WOW you could do a 100% water change with that tank and bucket :lol: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loopy Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 No wonder they think it is large. Look in the photo on either side of the tank for sale. It is auctions like that where i want to send them a photo of our 6ft tank(660L) And say "now THAT is a big tank!!!" :lol: (and yeah i know even that is small on some peoples scale) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayci Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Peoples interpretation of size differ. For someone who has only ever owned a goldfish bowl(10ltr), is going to thank a 20l tank would be large. Without a doult there will be people put there that would say quite frankly that a 6000ltr tank is small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heyandrea_ Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Yeah lol may be large compared to the fish bowl, but it aint large! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HummingBird Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 I can understand why they'd think so though, when I got my first 2ft tank it was huge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidb Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 a 2 ft is almost 3x the size of this one for sale (Assuming 2x1x1) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HummingBird Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Actually it was a 2x1x1.5, but regardless it seems large to them since they only really have experience with tiny tanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 It is a pity we can't put a sticky at the top of all Trademe auctions telling people (for general sales purposes only) that anything 2ft or under is small. To be considered big it must be 4ft at least. Anyone selling anything 10L or smaller should be made to put it under the household section and call it a vase! :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilson Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Anyone selling anything 10L or smaller should be made to put it under the household section and call it a vase! :evil: thats very true caryl 10L is way to small for a newbie to look after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Surely when they went into the pet store they must have seen bigger tanks, heck even most of the fish they bought would have come from a larger tank. It may seem large to them, but even a non fish geek would have seen enough bigger tanks to realise its not 'large'. :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilson Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 a pet shop i went to once there biggest tank was olny 30 L's maybe this person got the tank from a plase like this :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markoshark Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Actually thats true. I think the largest tank in the glenfield mall shop is only about 30L. So that would be "Large" Gah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emily Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 :lol: My brother has zero interest in fish keeping and even he laughed at that tank being called large. My first tank was 12lt :oops: :oops: :oops: and I successfully kept three goldfish in there until one was 15cm :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: then I bought a massive 50lt :oops: :lol: :oops: . I finally did some research (instead of trusting the lfs people. The fish got sold back to the store and I'm waiting to get my 300lt (landlord would flip if I got anythign bigger). Here's hoping the person on trademe will soon learn and quickly graduate to much larger tanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilson Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 theat 15 cm gold fish would be bigger than the tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herefishiefishie Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 When I first got a 2 ft tank I thought that was a nice size. Wouldn't say huge. Looking at the 2 footers now, they only ever have fry or are used as hospital tanks. To this person, the tank is probably big. Maybe trade me should use guide lines for tank sizes. For a start, this person is attracting the wrong people to the add. Those who are after cute little set ups won't look at the add, those that are into big tanks will see the add & probably throw abuse or taunts.

markoshark Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 I thought that a 3 foot was a nice size. But yeah, i'm using my 2foot as my crayfish tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 I am sorry to see people now being rude about it. As said, it is large to some people, but size is relative. Perhaps Trademe could divide the section eg. one bit for tanks under 100L, next section for tanks between 100L and 300L then another for big tanks over 300L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayci Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 Well, thanks to this post, I think now she is getting lots of hits. She'll be getting a good price for the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
