whetu Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Havoc the Attack Fish is apparently yellow and eats Silver Sharks. What kind of fish is he? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdqXt-Wdqxs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 I literally pissed my self laughing! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Havoc sounds like he could be a midas cichlid or something similar. I used to have one that was very much the same. he ate everything, oscars, terrors and jack dempseys included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elderly folks like you often have problems like this but it's nothing to be ashamed of. Havoc sounds like he could be a midas cichlid or something similar. I used to have one that was very much the same. he ate everything, oscars, terrors and jack dempseys included. Oooh... that could be him. He sounds nasty. I wonder what size tank Paul H. has, and how long he has had Havoc for. Sounds like there might not be any suitable tank mates for the hungry fellow!

Nymox Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Paul said it himself hes Yellow lol. This is funny as lol. Kinda almost seems fitting for him to have something like that, I sure wish he'd join the forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smidey Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 A genuine example of a fish keeper who knows nothing about his fish & a store that will sell anything to anyone. Only this time it was broadcast on national TV. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix44 Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 you'll be fairly surprised what an agro fish can do. oscars are predatory, not necessarily aggressive. (that was the time out tank, not where it lived) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquila Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Man, they must pay him a pretty decent salary at TVNZ if he's out buying all those different fish that Havoc ends up eating every time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simian Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 I agree that was pretty funny, I might send him an email and see if we get a response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simian Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 I just sent this: Hello to Paul and the Team I have just been introduced to a wee snippet of your show featuring Havoc and the silver sharks, I must say I found the whole thing rather amusing. It has prompted some discussion on the FNZAS (Federation of New Zealand Aquatic societies) forum. Sadly this kind of thing is very typical of a chain store and poorly trained staff are costing the public good money I am afraid, most aquarium keepers have no idea of the type of animal they are buying at the pet shop, this is akin to Paul being sent home with a kitten to be a companion for a hungry pit bull..in a cage…..Its going to end in bloodshed. We see this happen all the time with inappropriate wet pets sold to unsuspecting members of the public who them are at a loss with what to do or care for their new pet. The FNZAS is an organisation who’s primary purpose is to promote the hobby and educate the public, perhaps Paul would like to know what type of fish he has and whether anything can actually play nicely with it. I can assist Paul with this if he so desires, perhaps if the feedback has been high enough (and with the number of hits this clip has had on youtube it could be) you may even extract a story out of it, fulfilling two objectives, a story for you and the federation gets to educate a few more people. Feel free to contact me if you would like me to facilitate something along these lines (even if its simply helping Paul’s fish live a little longer). Kind regards Owen Lingard President Waikato Aquarium Society FNZAS Executive member Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nymox Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 I think it was a great idea writting in to them though, I hope there is a good outcome, for Paul and Havoc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
