One time I walk into a pet store to see a woman screaming her head off at an employee, saying she demanded a refund for her dead fish. When the person asked to see the fish, the lady pulls a bowl out of her purse with a DISCUS AND A CLOWNFISH, saying that it wasn’t even time for her monthly water change before they had died, and it was obviously because the store carries sick fish, and not because she was a moron......

A number of years ago my brother was working on a project in college and had been allowed to use the office of a ex professor. In that office was a large hex tank that was so covered in algae you couldn't see through the glass. Weeks go by and my brother sees something move in the tank. He found a large, emaciated convict with nearly no fins and major infection where the fins should have been. He brought me the fish and we were able to heal it up and it lived for quite some time except it never regrew it's dorsal or anal fins. Who knows what else was left in that tank to die.

I used to work at a public aquarium in Southern California that had night events for the 21 and over crowd; local artists, live music, Fancy food and plenty of booze. I’d work these events at the touch exhibits and EVERY SINGLE GUEST with alcohol in their hands would ask “what would happen if I poured my drink in this tank?” and pantomime tipping their pricy cocktail into the touch exhibit. One lady was so tossed that she actually spilled some of her vodka cranberry directly onto an anemone, which promptly sucked itself into a tight ball and required on-call staff to shut the display down for emergency maintenance. The anemone died and the touch display was closed for a few days after that. Nothing else in that display was killed, fortunately.

Oscar in a 100 gallon tank. 18 pound Siamese cat eyeing oscar and oscar is eying him right back. Owner watching with interest. Siamese jumps on aquarium. Aquarium cover gives way under weight of the cat. Cat is struggling to get out of the water as fast as he can as oscar tries to take a bite out of him. Oscar 10, cat 0. It was hilarious.

I heard about someone asking how many oscars could fit in a 10g tank...
Mine was adding two denitrifying bacterial supplements at once to my old 50g reef... Guess I was a little out of it. Next morning everything was dead, including my beautiful healthy Mandarin Dragonet that would eat NLS pellets. Miss that little guy...

EDIT: Oh, and despite my warnings a certain someone decided to move my 100g tank with about 2-3 inches of water in the bottom. It was placed in a hot moving van. Went to take it to our new place, and CRACK.

My husband was the drunk guy and fell onto the aquarium, broke it,He had to go to court for drunk and disorderly, had to pay a fine plus compensate for the fish. The judge said "What were you thinking having a fish tank in the lobby of a hotel for drunks to fall into. , And as for you Mr #@$^$## I hope this teaches you not to drink too much in future ".

Cae Walker ... back when I was in a college... at a party, a young man had gotten drunk and fell into a 20gallon aquarium. The aquarium broke and cut him severely. He was lucky to survive. After being rushed to the hospital he received a blood transfusion and over 60 stitches, some on his neck and most on his arm and chest. If the house we were parting at was not 5 minutes from the hospital, he may have not made it.

So growing up my moms always had aquariums, in her mind she did things the best she could (which in her terms means better than the pet store) to give them proper care - just without research. At the time dial up in home was a new concept to our family so she found that the internet was unreliable so she would just kinda wing it as cheap as possible (but would splurge occasionally) and watch for results.
Ever since I can remember we've had tanks ranging from 10g to 55g and in every single one of these tanks over the years my mom always had to have two important factors (to her). A pleco (for cleaning) and an albino African clawed frog (her favorite tank friend ever). So for the last 20 years my mom has always made sure to have one of each of these guys in her tanks. We moved a lot and sometimes they'd die after a move, or my brother at a you gage would destroy the tank, but she always would set something right back up.
So here is where it actually gets silly.
My moms favorite fish in the whole world is a black and white molly. Knowing her frog eats live fish, for the last 20 years, 2-4 times a month, my mom would go to the pet store and get 5-6 feeder fish and 2-4 mollys depending on tank size (she over stocked her tanks still but we still thought it was better than what when on in pet store tanks). The thing is, thefong would ALWAYS eat the mollys. Within days. And every time my mom would be so upset. "But I got him his own baby fish!". For 2 decades this goes on. Since finding your channel (and solid gold and King of DIY to name a few more) I've educated myself a lot on her fish breeds and more, and recently tried to tell her over the phone because she was telling me of yet another story of her frog(s she has two now) eating her mollies. Shes learned the more hiding places the longer they survive, but it turned out they were babies the mollies would have that had survived to near adulthood, while the originals got ate. The success of ONE surviving baby made her comfortable enough to get the second frog. I tried telling her about how the frogs are extremely aggressive eaters, and need more space, especially her pleco, and she just cried because she's "doing the best she can". So now. Let it be known that my mom cannot keep any fish but very aggressive ones because of the 3-4 inch pleco, and 2 almost full sized clawed African frogs, and still. Just last week, she's still trying to buy mollies. And still, she gets so upset every time her frog eats them. But now it's like "at least the babies last for a little while".

Yes she is lol she actually has mental health issues, and she gets stuck in her ways, but she's doing better these days. I think I can slowly get her to change a little here and there, maybe I'll just buy her a new set up and let her pick how to design it. She'll like that, and I can save her for tank friends lol but this story always makes me smack my forehead and shake my head.

I was maintaining a pond back in 2008 the guy calls me because he is loosing water out of the pond apparently a 20lb snapping turtle was in the pond and he decided to shoot it with a 12 Gage shot gun. He emptied 5 shells of buck shot into the pond. I found the turtle alive and unharmed took it to the river.

i was at a fish farm/shop/importer/export... Finding dory just came out. another family was there..

the middle rows of fish are marine fish tank racks. so naturally there are clownfish..and thanks to that movie, the kids want the clownfish.

the parents grab a bucket and fill it up with water from the Freshwater drum/top off tank.

i was like RIP clownfish... even the parents cant read a sign saying the drum is freshwater...

but before they scooped the fish into the bucket they had... an employee steps in..
but instead of recommending freshwater fish to the novice, he just helps them to bag the clownfish..
a sale is a sale, i guess. and i hoped the cashier tells them they need all the marine equipment not just a bowl of saltwater.

if the employee wasnt close, i would have stopped them.

What were they thinking? I was on an air boat tour of the Everglades. The tour guide told us the entire lake and most of the river system is covered with an african aquarium plant probably dumped in from someones tank . Hundreds of acres of aquatic plants only " found in Africa " . Full throttle we went .

Lol, That guy cheating on that girl was fd up and BIG no obviously... BUT Taking a sledge hammer to a tank is straight up psycho!!!! Im guessing the girl that felt she needed to do that and kill his fish and gorgous reef must have had anger issues to begin with and thats why he cheated!!! Those poor fishies and reef :(...I bet he didnt feel bad about cheating after she did that!!!!
