Thats so cruel. They look so unhappy in the first picture.

the kids just get a pet then get bored with it so they get rid of the pets and just get more pets, betcha 5 bucks that the reptiles will be on craigslist in 3 months

WOW that's crazy! Bet she didn't know thing one about fish when she got them. It makes me angry when the fish stores sell things to people just to make a sale. I own a fish store and I always try to inform the buyers as much as I can. If they still go ahead and buy at least I tried and if they don't buy well that's ok to.

I hate to say this guys, but I kinda wish Oscar's weren't sold in pet stores unless they were special orders only. So many times, they end up being victims of people's lack of knowledge for the tank requirements.

that guys probably one of those parents that spoils their kids and gives them whatever they
want, and then the kid doesnt take care of it

I have seen a huge oscar in a 10 gallon tank.

I'm surprised that they have lived this long. Hopefully some responsible fish keeper will get them and rehouse them in a much larger home.

This is even worse: I saw a shark in a 20 gallon at my favorite fish place. It wasn't permanent though something happened to their big tank. I havn't seen the oscar so it either died or got sold.

Poor fish,

that's just plain wrong............

The worse part of this whole thing is the parents teaching the kid that pets are disposable..Get tired of one just get another...VERY sad for sure...I feel bad for those poor fish too being crammed in such a small space...

bolivianbaby

In total agreement with you!

NanoAddict

I think that says it best.

Borisbbadd

I'm sure it wont be too long until the reptile is gone also.........

That's just like giving a way a child so you can get a new one. I remember seeing a youtube video with a oscar and bala sharks in a 10 gallon and the oscar ate one of the bala sharks head off and he posted a video of it floating around headless.

it is so sad the way some people treat pets like they r dispoable. oh in hawii did you hear that the water ways are getting polluted with tropical fish so they made these places where you can drop off your fish if you dont want them anymore or if they get too big then they can give the fish away or sell them at discount prices to fish stores and responsable hobbiest

bolivianbaby

That's a good way to mess up the ecosystem. I do like the solution, though. It's better than turning them loose.

NanoAddict

wow, thats pretty crazy

Lol I got into fishkeeping and I love my turtles even more because they can swim!
