Read the description... that is a 55 gallon tank.... with a PANTHER GROUPER and a LIONFISH.... and the comments are even worse.. someone brings up the point of how cruel this setup is, and they get several thumbs down and others just say "calm down"... GRRRRRR

The vid is over 3 years old...i wonder if the fish are still alive, esp since they're being fed goldfish.

......It isn't someone you know or seen with your own eyes..it's something you dug up on the internet.
Surely you have better things to do. My grandaughter at two years old taught me a great lesson on life...Don't look, it will just upset you.
I don't live under a rock afraid to look at life.... I watch the news every night and morning, plenty of horror stories of children that can't even sit in their own home and not have a stray bullet kill them. Then there is the commercial from the Humane Society of all those poor dogs and cats with oozing sores and a straved horse....and you are on the net looking for stuff to get upset about on purpose.

I'm not trying to be mean, just put things into perspective. The majority of people EAT fish, not spend a Kings fortune to keep them as pets...they are just fish, and in the ocean, bigger fish would eat them. On a personal note, I think all those beautiful lobsters kept in a bare tank on top of each other at the super market is cruel.
Some years back, my sister and brother in law went fishing and caught catfish. When they came in they tossed the fish in the kitchen sink...an hour goes by while they say their hellos and hee haw. I go to he kitchen for a soda and see that they are still alive gasping for air waiting to die. So I plugged the sink and added some water so they could at least be comfortable before they were killed, my sister caught me and laughed. I started crying and tried to explain.... it seemed so cruel to just lay there waiting to die like that. I just looked stupid to everyone else.

LOL...I'm just crabby...My back is out from putzing with the fish tank...getting the sump to hold water right...well this morning the dang hoses are leaking and I can't fix it until my back is better so the tank is back on the canister life support. I could scream. I put clamps on everything but ran out and tried to use zip ties...which I couldn't get tight enough apparently.

I didnt watch the vid, cause im sure it would just bug me. But today, just to share my frustrations, I saw a guy at walmart selling 7 puppies. The male pitbull was there, he looked friendly & in good health... But the puppies were so young, they didnt even have their eyes open yet! That means theyre less than 10 days old. I pretty much wanted to cry. Whoever buys them obviously has no business owning a dog if they dont know its too young, and that man certainly has no business breeding dogs if he doesnt know. And if he does know, then hes just plain evil..well, that was my day....
Moral of the story: sometimes you just cant help every one of gods beautiful creatures, no matter how big your heart is. Some people just dont "get it" when it comes to owning pets.
