| I want say my family are morons When we were at Petsmart My dad got a bumblebee cat and Dragon fish for my tank when i said they belong in brackish water. My bro got an Red Pecock for his CA cichlid tank against my advice, and my other bro got a dojo loach for his 10gal again against my advice.
Now Im stuck with a 11in fish that looks deadly. Wow
And now the bumble bee reasides in the 20gal and the Dragon fish reasides in my 29gal.

| If possible, I would suggest not accommodating your families purchases...return the fish purchased for your tank.

| Well i went to walmart to get some video games and my dad bought me a early gift, An Oscar.  I want to get rid of the Dragonfish but its my dads fish and he says we can't rehome him.
Also i don't want to get rid of the O because its rude to give away a present and mom won't let me.

| Hmmm. Maybe you should tell your parents that you can't get more fish unless you get another tank.  Yay! More tanks!!!

| Yeah you need to get rid of the oscar and the other fish. Plus your 29gal is WAY over stocked as it is. The raphial cat, bumblebee cat, eel, and black knife need to go. Then in the 20gal the JD should go too. And plus with your angels in the 29gal there is no room

I only suggested that since bob said he can't return the fish. Of course, there's probably better options but that's just my opinion.

| it isn't being rude if you are improving the life of the fish/making an informed decision to correct a poor decision.
