EnFuego Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 plenty of people have given answers without flaming, you just don't want to hear what the majority of people are going to say to you. The only time anybody said "idiot" was after you completely ignored any of the advice that was offered. I really don't care either way what you do, but there are many more suitable fish for a nano-tank. Just know that there is a good chance that any lion will die early and you will be out $30 or however much you spend on it. Link to comment
andykee Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 hahah im not that stupid...if i get a fish i research it! if this were the truth, you would have quickly found that a lion is not well suited for life in a 12 gallon tank and this whole post would be meaningless. Link to comment

aquaman7 Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Well, people with your mentality Regal (no offense) are destroying this hobby... buying and buying specimens that can not live in the conditions the ignorant purchaser places them in. The creatures die, the ignorant purchaser returns to the lfs and buys another. They log on to nano-reef.com and ask for opinions... they get replys in the form of facts, opinions, warnings, and words of personal experience. They still continue their strive for "aquatic satisfaction" trying to make a statement by defying the claims the warnings. Unfortunately most of those specimens being bought at the lfs, and are then being killed, come from the ocean... which is not an expendable resource. The delicate balance of the ocean is ever-present in the countless exaples of symbiosis, viewable even in the home aquarium, if any part of the oceans complex web of life is disturbed it affects more than most humans can even comprehend. The leading producers of oxygen (which we kinda need) on the planet... organisms in phylum chrysophyta... produe roughly 3/4 of all the oxygen on the planet... those organisms dwell underwater. The effects of the destruction of oxygen-producing terrestrial plants are miniscule compared to what would happen if the balance of the ocean were upset. Our hobby is quite contorversial, we can help the ocean through conservation efforts, most especially for aquarist, the aquaculturing of organisms... www.garf.org is a website that will help you understand how you can do that with any reef tank... or we can continue to destroy through ignorance. The way I see it, if you buy a specimen (especially one that's not aquacultured) you should at least try and give it the best conditions possible so that it can live out it's life as it would in the ocean. Keeping an aquatic organism... a fish, macro-algae, coral, inverebrate, etc... is more than keeping it as a pet, its a responsibility, that if you are to keep this specimen from the ocean you'll care for it, and learn from it, so that in turn you can help what's being destroyed. My advice is read, read, read, research, ask questions, visits website such as this (but in a different mind-set). If you don't have a passion for what you've got in that glass box, you're in the wrong hobby. Link to comment
The nano Lance Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 How the hell did this end up in the nano cube forum? Please lock or get rid of this thread! I think I'm the DUMB one for reading on even after this kid had shown his ignorance. Link to comment
nanojake Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 I think you should get the lionfish and a lunar wrass. Lunar wrass's really go nuts at feeding time! It would probably crash into the walls of the tank. A fish like that would so cool in a small tank. Link to comment
Saltyfingers Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Wow First time I have commented on this forum and I sincerely hope that this kid is a one off over the pond there. I cannot believe that someone would even have morale fiber of a cabbage that they would take a fish off the reef, place it in a tiny glass box that is too small for it and take pleasure in watching it be massively unhappy and slowly die! Why why why do some people like to help shorten the life span of some of the worlds most amazing a prettiest creatures. Grow up and get a tadpole you IDIOT! Link to comment

nimrod Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 dude no offense but what a bad first post to makethis happened almost 3 years ago let it go Haha, my thoughts exactly..Aren't we all guilty of acquiring animals from the ocean and putting them in small glass boxes? (Unless of course your tank is as big as the ocean) And yes, I know what you mean, just trying to be funny, no offense... Link to comment
