20 Gallon Tacky Tank

[RNeiswander]

So, Glowfish, are they geneticly altered or mechanically altered (dyed)?

Genetically altered. And they are GloFish not glowfish. They have copyrighted names and colors. Buncha BS is what it is

Okay then, they are still a go. Genetically altered isn't as bad as dyed.

seriously if the people who comented on the jellyfish genes knew something then theyd know that glofish have jellyfish genes in them bcc theyre color will fade when in poluted water. i also think we need more pics FF1!!!!

That was low... There is, in my mind, a massive difference between geneticly altered and forcibly dyed. A massive difference. Now everyone's gonna write me off as a fish hater or something just because I see nothing wrong with genetic alterations... ah well.

no one's gonna write you off for it, FF. They just disagree with your preferences of fish and your acceptability of certain ones. Remember, not everyone's gonna love everything you love in life..... don't let it change who you are. If it's what you like, then that's what you like. Everyone was just trying to inform you if you didn't already know about them because as you've seen, some people don't agree with it. That's fine.

I love dogs, big dogs. I have 4 of them (3 big and one not so big). Some people I know can't seem to fathom how I can give them the proper care and space but I do and they always get their yearly check ups, shots, daily exercise, lots of love, are fed and groomed. The people that cannot fathom it would never be able to do it and I understand that as well as respect it as such. It's why I live in my home and they live in there's.

and by the way, I am also psyched to see the pics....

Um... I don't have a stock list yet. Right now all I've is a list of possible additions.

6-8 Glofish
4 Cory Cats(maybe)
1 Drawf Flame Gourami (Maybe)

Still looking for other ideas for a tacky tank. Fish that won't breed in overwheming numbers. So no female mollies

Well, the tank is currently in a state of stasis while I wait on my next paycheck (upcoming thursday) so I don't have any picable updates for you.

I can understand disagreement. I have no issues with it. But I would prefer they not try to force their ideals on me... I think I may yet go ahead with the BMs but only if I can find them from a healthy fish store. Which is pretty unlikely.

i think mickey mouse pletys look pretty tacky

 

[Slappy*McFish]

Any balloon variety of fish are tacky abominations, as well...IMO. They'd fit right in with this theme.
