Post aqua babies?/Co2 Discussion.

Has anyone else seen these things? I bought one for my desk at work and it has 3 baby neon tetras and a snail in it. What are your opinions on this?

Post Re: aqua babies?

Would never buy one!!! Its bad! Please read http://www.rk2000.com/boycott/aquababies.html

I would say its like living in your washroom with 2-3 friends. Im sure you would live but would happy and long? I dont know why people think that fish can live in a small container and happily. We live in such a good land but cant give our fish a better home. Its just like the bettas in a jar. I hate it. I call bs on anyone that tells me that they live like that in the wild. Sure they can but not for the rest of their lives. I say, if you buy them, give them the best you can. Even if you put a betta in a 2G bowl, he will be much happier.

Dont get your panties in a bunch. I know they cant live in here forever. Once they get a little bigger I will move them into my 30 gallon tank. It just about the same as getting a goldfish and putting him in a bowl. Get over it. They are fish afterall. Do you cry when one of your fish die???

You asked for an opinion and you didnt like it! :
Well, some people dont regard fish as just fish afterall. And no I dont cry when fish die but I hate to see animals suffer because of some peoples lack of knowledge. I didnt mean that you would not take care of the fish and Im glad that you will provide a better home for them later on. But how many people do not! I know a guy at work, he bought himself a betta and he thinks that they can be happy living in a small bowl the size of a cup.

Post Re: aqua babies?

yeah i see your point now. You also have to think about how fish are kept at the pet stores.. way too many all crammed in one take no plants or places to hide etc. I have a lot of pets including 2 cats a red eared slider (turtle) and a lot of fish. I get upset when my fish die but its not the end of the world. Now if one of my cats or my turtle died that would be devistating.

aquababies are the DEVIL! >
  seriously, if you could buy some and then transfer them to a real tank, it would be a good deed. there is a basic rule with small fish of one inch per gallon, not to mention there has to be a large surface area to absorb oxygen in a tank without a stone, of which these things have neither.
it is always easy to make money off of cute little torture devices that are sold to people who don't know any better. it's like keeping a chihuahua in a pet taxi it's whole entire life, even if they don't have feelings. it's so MEAN!

Yah those things are a pieces of crap  > They say that the rocks they have in the tank provide biological filtration. Ha. But anyway never buy these ever!

I could be wrong here but I think they are talking about the fact that there is bacterial living in the gravel and the bacterial eat ****. Therefore the bacteria living in the gravel provide filtration?
