What kind of stupidity will people think of next!!



This guy has a video showing people how to make a fish tank out of a condom! He actually puts gravel, a plant and 2 neon tetras in there and ties it shut claiming it is a self-sustaining ecosystem!
Lots of stupid teens comment on how cool it is and no doubt will make one themselves! How irresponsible can anyone be?? I wonder how many people killed Bettas trying this?

Oh good heavens. Some people are just plain stupid, can't describe it any other way. I just hope the fish die quickly so they don't suffer.

Re: What kind of stupidity will people think of next!!

What a complete moron!! He obviously needs to read up on how to take care of fish. How does he think that that system is a complete ecosystem? There's no filtration so even by some miracle those fish lived a couple days in that thing he'd have to change it everyday. Plus there's no airstone for them to get oxygen so they would suffocate in 24 hours or less. I just think he did it because he was bored. I sure hope he didn't actually keep them in there for too long and put them in a proper set up.

Let these poor fish have . Natalie

Wouldn't the spermicide thats in most condoms make the water toxic?

Re: What kind of stupidity will people think of next!!

He used a brand new condom and he rinsed it thoroughly to get the powder out of it or whatever it is they put in them. Just the ammonia build up alone in that thing would kill it in a day if it lived past a day. Natalie

Re: What kind of stupidity will people think of next!!

Anyone who keeps fish in a condom should be locked up, seriously. You've gotta be pretty messed up to put an animal in that tiny of a space. Imagine what his kids will turn out to be like.

I think they'll die of poisoning before dying of the crammed conditions. There's that horrible substance on condoms.

Re: What kind of stupidity will people think of next!!

yes, it's obvious animal-cruelty and locking him away would be good for society as animal abusers quite often turn into murderers or other violent criminals or if he's really THAT stupid, he needs protected from the real world.

WOW, that is all I can say, the tetras won't last too long and the snails won't do too good either.

Good point. And who says spermicide says piscicide (or is it ichtyside)? We should totally enter it in the dictionary!

Re: What kind of stupidity will people think of next!!

Well you know these kids that take an ant from one colony and put it in anotehr colony? Or those that burn earthworms with their glasses in the sun? I think they have the empathy ability of these kids. Just mature like (cruel) little 8 y.o.

yea, i agree.. what a sad lot we are as a whole.. it's no wonder people can't get along or treat each other right.. we're not even capable of treating the animals with love.. i'd love to see the world where people all could show love and not cruelty..

i think you've just summed up health care in the US. Don't forget the bankruptcy-inducing bill to follow.
