Have you ever noticed that when you go to a fish store that if you take a look at some of those little 5 gallon setups that they have pictures of like the biggest fish ever for that tank? When I went to Wal Mart the other day I saw a 6 gallon setup that had a picture of a discus in it! I hope that no one actually does that. The I saw a net that had a picture of a betta on it but the net was for a pond! Anyboday ele notice these things?

Yup, my LFS sells 15G tanks in boxes, and the pico n the box has atleast 20 harlequins, 4 rams, and like 8 corydoras

Yeah, even my husband, who's not into fish, noticed all the mollies on the box my 5g .

Scary, thought, isn't it? People see those pics and naturally think it's ok to have so many fish in the tank.

Yeah. I saw a 10 gallon set up, and they have so many fish in there.

It's interesting what you can see in your LFS....

It's interesting to see those 2 gallon setups, with like a million neons on the box.

I saw a pic of a 5g with about 15 of those 'mixed cichlids' in it.....

the photo on the box for the bio-orb had like 15 white clouds...but I'm pretty certain they were photoshopped in because the stupid "orb" shape doesn't allow you to actually see the fish.

I asked about that once at a very good mom & pop LFS and the answer was as she the owner ran up and down the hallway of fish tanks while looking at me said "you see all these individual tanks are like one big huge 1000 gallon tank because they are all hooked up to the same filtering system and share the same water, that's why". But I still think 20 fish in a 5 gallon is allot.
