Opinion needed for fish load

[Megatron]

BTW on the topic of animals eating poop I personally have seen dogs, birds, guinea pigs, corys, GOLDFISH, tetras, cats and others eat their own poop as well as the poop of others we even sell a pill at petsmart to help stop dogs from eating their own poop. AND on the topic of over crowded aquariums I would agree that SB is overstocked but in some cases you can manage it without harm coming to your fish. I also have a overstocked tank but I have tons of extra filtration and do at least 4 5 gallon water changes a week. None of my fish look in the least bit stressed and while I do plan on upgrading to a 75g or so in the next month my fish dont look to worried.

...my fish dont look to worried.

Ah, yes, because worried fish are recognizable by the little frown lines over their eyes? I see this a lot in some variant "My fish look happy", "My fish are worried", etc--what the heck does that mean? I've seen fish stressed due to conditions, but many things that cause a problem--ie, being stunted--are not a natural threat to a fish, so they will not display any stress behavior, but that doesn't mean it is not harming them. Fish react with stress to incidents their instincts tell them are harmful--poor water conditions, physical damage, a predator (or even just the hormones indicating a predator recently ate a fish). They've developed these instincts naturally--there is no natural case of being in a small tank that will eventually stunt them.

They're just fish... not humans !

Anyway, I just bought my 6 goldies a 55gal tank. Now if I hear one peep out of anyone saying it's not enough and that the fish will be stressed or stunt or suffer from mild depression, I will personally come down to their place and beat the living "fish poop" out of them !

Enough is enough. 55 gal is ALL they will get. And you know what, those fish will be :dance and :bowing: to me because of it. Otherwise, guess what we will have for dinner Saturday ? Le Goldie Filet à la Sponge Bob !

Cheers !

Why get so upset when the post was made to ask people their opinions. So people tell you how they feel and you get upset because you don't like what they said.
