hello
its been a while since i posted on here, i am still checking the journals though
Righty oh diddly......I had a great day at the London aquarium with my girlfriend, she really enjoyed the corals and the giant gourami's. which they have a couple in a very undersized tank in a local aquatic retailer so we jumped on the tube over there and was looking around, we went downstairs and i was explaining how i wanted to change my 60cm tank into a shell dweller tank, so we went over to where they are kept, and i noticed that the cabnet that the shell dweller tanks are kept on house other tanks that you cant see too much unless you 'hunker down' of course i was curious so i did so,
BAM!!! there it was a shoddy looking tank, with a large group or pirahna all a good size, teeth out the lot ...
thats not the bad bit, but there was a very VERY well butchered is the 1st word that comes to mind oscar....this oscar has no lips from lip locking attempts with the piranah, its now just a scar apon scar mush, fins down to spines massive chunks along the body ripped of, and the complete gill cover on one side, you can actually see the red on the gill.
I demanded they take the fish out and let me take it home, after a liltte discussion they couldnt get it out quick enough.
remove this is you want but i had to vent my anger some where, honestly how the hell can they get away with this.
i do have pictures just to keep a journal of his recovery, his now in his own 240 being medicated, and fed up.
not to sure what im hoping for in this thread other than a name and shame of similar things and if people are intrested in following the journal of his recovery and giving any advice or help
