F15hguy Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 one of my pet peeves is when people use fish for ornaments for a single occasion, normally the fish are considered disposable and get mistreated and then discarded. then you realize this attitude is so common that people consider it good advertising for their business to show these.

critter_crazy Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Very true! I little while ago I had a couple come into work wanting to buy some tiny fantail goldfish to put in bowls on tables at their wedding reception for a couple of hours. I told them they needed to arrange homes for them afterwards for me to sell them. They ended up buying a huge tank to put them in after the wedding to keep them as a memento - That was pretty neat. But I doubt fish used in TV adverts etc. get the same after curtain call treatment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hovmoller Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 From an Art exhibiton at Trapholt Museum in Denmark: Blenders were connected to live power and visitors had the option of activating the blenders. Sometimes I just don't understand art :facepalm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F15hguy Posted August 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 and in a lot nicer manner than a live oyster being swallowed would If the artist was protesting cruelty, wonder if he realised that having the fish in there for a short time even was cruel???

Then putting the fish in a bag to take home to put in your tank is more cruel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Hard to see since the images are so small but it might be one of those skinny wall tanks ... that are used as wall decoration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F15hguy Posted August 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 not that much better, no filtration, hevily over stocked and at the wrong temp for at least one of the species. IMO the worst thing is that someone thinks they are doing it "right" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO the worst thing is that someone thinks they are doing it "right" I'm sorry, I wasn't paying much attention. What's the other fish other than the angels? Just because I can't see a filter doesn't mean it's not there. My issue with this tank is the depth (not height). The other issues could simply be my own ignorance? :dunno: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaide Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 you and me both! remembering names of plants drives me crazy I just don't do plants at all - can't keep the damn things alive anyway, or they get eaten, or dug up so float around the tank :roll: Thanks for a larger pic of the one with little depth. There's a similar set up at my doctor's new surgery - they've installed a very long tank, but it's possibly a little deeper but not by much - was filled with goldfish and BNs so yes, will be heated far too hot for the goldfish. Then of course there's the tank at my gym.... :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
