| bah!screw tetra and their half assed attitude towards fishkeeping.if i remeber corectly i thougt there was a ban on tetra or did we forget about the 5 gallon salt water stunt on tv a few weeks back.besides tetratec filters are noisy and can melt if there is a power failure.

| LOL hey, read my response to that thread, said that I wasn't going to stop supporting tetra. I think it was mostly CBS' fault...and I wish one or both of them would do something about their mistake, but hey...what can ya do? Though I did just get another HOB and it wasn't a Whisper, so I'm not directly supporting them either.

| CBS did not tell people to put all those fish in a 5g. aquarium, it was a representative frem Tetra. It is not their job to know about fish, only Tetras.

| So u make these claims bashing the Tetra coporations because they broadcasted such a display. But was tetra the only willing corporation? how do u know they werent just the highest bidder? THat musta been a good advestising slot for any company tetra, marineland, etc.. But ok even if u blame them, whos the idiot who goes out without the slip of information and goes saltwater crazy. Lack of info on the buyers part is not a companys real fault. Have u seen marineland eclipse boxes, there was like a 20 gallon one with like 5 yellow tangs. So why dont u ban marineland now?Quick to come to conclusion with such short information. |

| I think it was the principle that in a time when the company knew there needed to be some sensitivity on the issue of marine fish, due to the movie "Nemo", that they should have made a least some effort, or how bout a plain and simple disclaimer at the bottom, reading "due to time constraints, and for the purpose of television, not all aspects of marine fishkeeping were covered, and we advise consumers to research the materials properly". Even if they were to put out a thing saying "ya, we screwed up..sorry". You know? the "idiot" would be anyone who, unfortunately, trusts a fish company enought to believe what they are saying. And whether or not they were the highest bidder really has no play in the material they put forth. If it were marineland, then I assume they would be the ones people are angry with.

| What Tetra did was nothing short of irresponsible. Many fish are doomed because of the fiasco. Here is a thread with over 1000 posts on the issue.
