yeah it is wrong. Completely out of order.


And unlike Mr chimps I am judging. The seller is a knob to be honest.


You can see the photo and it's clearly overstocked. I don't have a problem with carp inside, they grow quicker and produce more waste. But they are not affected by living inside from a health point of view.

Yes carp should have much larger accomodation. Outdoor ponds are ideal because indoor ponds are too much for many people. But otherwise massive tanks inside are fine for them.

i think btt is the only one after the sellers head lol.


but dg you gotta admit that, that tank is way overstocked. no water change will fix that issue, it's just bad kishkeeping from what ever way you look at it

And yes it does seem like an excessive amount of fish but shooting from the hip serves noone.

Look at Mike he keeps fish of gigantic sizes one could argue that their water to mass size isn`t correct either .

Though i can tell you know you wouldn`t get that opinion off me as i know he knows what he`s doing down to a fine art.

And for all we know the carp seller might be ( i am wearing my hat back to front on this one by the way)
