Kermit Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 If things aren't hard enough as it is now, i found this for sale on trade Me, i feel sorry for the poor bugger that buy's this exspecting to keep healthy Clown fish and ends up killing them becuase some F%U& T$^&*&% has misslead them, to make a quick buck. Why do these poor clown fish have to suffer, this setup doesn't come with clown fish so i wonder how many have already died becuase of this persons lack of knowledge or/and ignorance. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Lifestyle/Pets ... 547124.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 It's not impossible to keep a clown healthy in a tank that size. A lot of people have happy clowns in nanos smaller than that. But, I doubt anyone with enough experience to keep a nano would be buying that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cracker Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 I agree with you Ira, The guys offering good advice even though its not ideal to be keeping Marine life in a tank that small. It sounds as if the guy knows the basics . Don't really see the problem with the ad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kermit Posted January 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 OK, so how many peolpe would use this size tank, and/or reacomend this size tank to someone that may or may not have exsperiance? Maybe i'm just over reacting, but aren't nano's very hard to maintain and haven't most of us warned new comers on this forum to keep away from a small tanks becuase of the problems.

Duke Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 I was looking at this setup as a quarantine tank but descided it was not suitable due to the live rock and filter type. Amazing what a little research tell you, so a standard glass tank and simple spung filter is what is required and a little too small.

petplanet Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 These sell because some marine retailers in Auckland have, or had, these setups for sale. They just try and cash in on the nemo craze. $$$ now to keep someones kid happy till the fish dies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
