reptilez Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 There is a auction on Trade me with 14 oscar , 9 pacus and more in a 2m tank..... SOOOOOO sad :-( &c:ry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GZ_Loach Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 I found the auction your talking about, if you look to the left in the photo he/she has another tank (also a dirty green colour) i assume that over stocked aswell. Also only has a 1200 L / ph filter... that would only be good for up to 300 L maximum So many people have no clue about fish keeping, imagine your tank, now imagine that in the ground and picture it as part of a stream - makes your tank look like a puddle when you compare it to a natural fish habitat doesn't it?

Zayne Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 just found it, poor fish I'm surprised that they are all alive in that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zayne Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 see the answers to the questions saying that the tank is over stocked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seahorsemad Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 The guy seems to be blacklisting and having a go at anyone who had the good sense to tell him the tank is overstocked. Wonder if the SPCA would be blacklisted if they got involved. that is really cruel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan7 Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 The other tank you can see is also for sale (check his other listings) , has 6 pacus, few smaller jags and oscars, but still the same insufficient filtration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seahorsemad Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Yeah i did see that. I have left a comment requesting that he sells the fish separately, watch this space!!!!! Wonder if i get called depressed and blacklisted???????? :thup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan7 Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Yeah i did see that. I have left a comment requesting that he sells the fish separately, watch this space!!!!! Wonder if i get called depressed and blacklisted???????? :thup: You probably will, but atleast you have tried. Id consider taking the texas and a few jags if he would sell separately. Shame i dont live closer to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GZ_Loach Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Whoever said we were haters and that we are jealous must be one of those fluro stone goldfish bowl owners :sml1: , Someone that isn't blacklisted should post a link to this site so they can see what a real fishtank looks like :sage: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seahorsemad Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 I dont seem to be blacklisted yet. It is interesting that the person is new to that site though and has no other transactions. What a way to start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myfishybuisness Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 If he keeps discus like that he won't have any > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrudd Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 I was not blacklisted so I left the following message at both auctions : If you go to this website http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/index.php then you can get a lot of valuable information about the amount of fish in your size tank, please do consider it as your tank is very overstocked and its best if you sell the fish seperately so each can go into a nice bigger tank with more space and hiding places and so on I hope he does not blacklist me I am still new at trademe :gigl: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GZ_Loach Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 He would be doing you a favour if he blacklisted you, means you can't trade with him :happy1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zayne Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 is there any way we can get trademe to remove it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrudd Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 is there any way we can get trademe to remove it? I think you can, but I think its best if we leave it cause everybody will read the comments and see the tank is overstocked, but if he sells it privately somewhere else people will not be aware of that fact The above is just my opinion though 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshlikesfish Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 where is this auction? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Pets-animals/Fish/Fish-tanks-aquariums/auction-373123982.htm Or search pacu on trade me and they both come up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the-obstacle Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 SPCA? Police? CYFS? MAF? who can we call? If someone had the money up front would the stock pay for the purchase if thye were to be sold on? I know they'd be in pretty bad condition but with a bit of love they might make $100 a piece...?

Joshlikesfish Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 SPCA? Police? CYFS? MAF? who can we call? I cant keep my dog in a small cage but I can giant fish... I guess it would be hard for the SPCA to come confiscate and house large pacu etc. Hmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
