    You are the worst kind of fishkeeper, putting the needs of yours eyes over the fish, and taking the opportunity away from another owner who could have put him in a bigger tank.

    This hobby probably shouldn't exist in the first place, but if you're going to take part in it the least you can do is restrain yourself from buying shit just because you can and let someone else provide it a better home. But we already know there's more than one person like you so...better buy it before they do, right? Obviously you've never learned to be the better person, and you probably treat all opportunities with this attitude.

    Right now you're like one of those assholes who buys a dog and leaves it changed to a tree all day. Give it a bowl of food and water and it's good, doesn't need walking, attention or playtime, right...it'll survive. /roll

    Good luck with 'learning'. I for one, hope you get banned. Living Reefs shouldn't tolerate this attitude, and I doubt you'll find another forum that would either.

    chained :grumble:

    Just wanted to be clear; you're not just catching flak simply for putting a tang into a small tank; plenty of people have done it by mistake or with the idea of moving it *shortly* to a larger tank, like you are supposedly doing.

    However this whole attitude of yours, and this 'if it doesn't make it it doesn't make it' nonsense is asinine; these fish can live for years and years, and they'll be around in the hobby for just as long so there's no reason to rush out and put one into cramped quarters. Clownfish and Tangs have zero in common when it comes to swimming abilities, so you can stop making that comparison.

    Maybe you'll prove us all wrong and it won't die and you'll eventually move him to a bigger tank. Yay. In the meantime, however, good luck sharing your tank photos when all you'll do is catch flak on any forum you go to. The only person who'll be excited for your tank is you, and if that doesn't matter, why bother posting at all?

    Anyway...

    Not arguing, but dont talk to anyone on this forum like that... It doesnt matter how long they have been on here, but the input that they give, and the state of mind they bring to the forum. So dont be a dick. Kthx.

    +1 Waddi

    I also find this comment especially funny because you joined this forum in January and only set your tank up a month ago, and yet you seem to think you can ignore the advice of people who have been doing this for years but your statement implies that length of time in the hobby is of extreme importance for the quality of advice.

    And just so you know, adaptation takes time over many generations. Sometimes thousands of years. Did your tang come from generations of tank bred tangs? I don't think so. I really hate it when people think like this. I have a 90 gallon tank, nearly 3 times the size or yours, and I've held myself back from buying a blue tang because I know that it will not be the best for it.

    There are NO tank bred tangs. Every single one you see and have seen come from the wild. Dont forget the dozens that die for the few that make it to the stores.

    +1 There is a big difference between captive bred and tank raised.

    There aren't tank raised tangs either.... The closest you could get to that would be by buying a second hand fish

    ob_on3 no one started calling you any names, we are all trying to help. You are just so blind that you don't want to accept that you are wrong. We're not insulting you or anything. Go back and look at all your threads, people always came and answered. Did we do something wrong? Did we call you names? These actions just show that you are very immature, and you aren't able to handle simple situations such as these. I would suggest that you stop being derogatory. It is only disrespecting you yourself as a person.
