I get into work today, and one of the guys I work with informs me that his wife went out last night to walmart:yuck: and bought a 5 gallon tank with 5 fish. I tell him first thing that the tank was not ready for fish, that it had to be cycled.:nono: So i tell him about the cycle, he tells me the fish will ok cause they used spring water to fill the tank:rant2:. I proceeded to tell him about the bacteria that will grow after the tank has been set up for so long. I as him about the fish, I hide out that she bought 2 guppies, 2 tetras, and a common pleco. I tell him that first thing the pleco is already 3-4 inches long and will out grow the tank very fast. Then comes the "he will only grow to the size of the tank.":thud:At that point I tell him that is just not true, and will deform and hurt the fish in the long run. I will be telling him when i get bigger I will give it a home in my 55 until I get my bigger tanks. After all this goes down I told him that I will bring him some of the gravel out of my tanks to get him a jump start in the cycle. Thanks for listing to gripe, I will try to keep this up dated.
