    i agree, with you completely. the info on the net is to give you an idea. its not gospel. As you can see my tank is considered over stocked. my fish seem to be very happy and healthy. i feel filtration/water quality and healthy diet is key.
    i think often the net gives a worst case scenario, But each fish has its own personality. im not saying ignore it completely. do your research is what im saying. read what others have done in their tanks. and dont buy a fish that will out grow your tank. its not fair to the fish. buy it with thoughts you will keep it for life. i know there are times we have a mean fish. or goofed (listened to a sales person and didnt research for our selfs..... GUILTY :( ) and have to remove a fish. but dont buy them with removing them in mind.

    this is an aweful thread with a ton of misinformation going around, it is also the reason of certain people being banned so i dont believe there should be any further posting

    ::) Please let the mods worry about what is and isn't posted on the forums. Your post is not helpful to those who have legitimate questions regarding fish.
