So do i and there different also !!!!!, i also have many school fish in fours? am i evil?

this debate about tanks size ect is all a matter of opinion nobody is right nor wrong you may even argue that fish should be free and left in the sea in a natural state but i don't think anybody here has that view its a fish keeping forum

I agree..It's all a matter of opinion..This forum is nice because it is about opinions....CoryCat struck a chord..I do believe this was not his intention..In fact this thread isn't a agurment about his thread but about his sig.....All opinions can and should be stated with tack so the message behind what your saying doesn't get lost.

Edit:
I also think this could have been a very informative thread had it not taken such a turn....For example How is it decided what tank size is right for a certain fish...I've never really understood that...I'm sure there is some scientific equation behind it..lol...It would be interesting to see how it's determined.

(i could go on and on but ill stop for now.. lol)

thanx for reading

Reading this post, I do not believe Cory was trying to start a debate about the ethics of tank size, but rather to condemn some recent posters who have gotten themselves in over their heads. If we "condemn" those who come here for help, people may stop coming altogether... which defeats the whole purpose of this "Beginner's Forum"... and ultimately hinders the gaining of knowledge to give better care for our fish.

Thanks you docjr03. I couldn't think of a better way of ending this thread.

With that said, this thread is closed.
