How many of the under-a-gallon defenders end up posting in the sick fish forum a few weeks later? How many of the sick fish posts are from beginners with a gallon or less? The proportion speaks for itself.

But that's me. Good luck combatting the forces of corporate stupidity, though.

YES! +1 +1 +1!!!

"But my friend did it and her fish lived to be 4 years old!" UGH. Gosh darnit these are my pet peeves... I really find it hard to be nice to someone who has a sick fish and keeps them in a .5 gallon bowl and does water changes twice a month. I wish I could just scream at them and tell them that it's STUPID! The pics on Pintrest just make it seem "okay" for more people. Now there's going to be someone saying "But this girl on Pintrest..."

Yeah. Keeping goldfish like that is even worse than bettas.. They get up to 14 inches long on average in well kept conditions IMO/E

I would have to say not just that but if the manager or staff get a hold of it. It's the owner of this site that could pay the price.

I think I saw the pin that she is trying to copy cat... so dumb. The goldfish comment made me want to pull my hair out. I'm getting 2 goldies in a 29 gallon soon... and they will even get an upgrade when they get massive... "goldfish can be kept anywhere" HA. Should link some pics of massive goldfish and happy bettas.

I would actually like the one that filters the water if it were bigger. I told my bf to make me one :P but I think he forgot

oh yeah that one is a nifty Idea. If they could integrate that into a 10 gallon it'd be money in the bank.
