If I saw someone handle a fish like that on a creek or river I'd be inclined to slap them in the face. And yet you do it to your "pet" fish. Quality. And two oscars in a 30 gallon tank? You're going to end up with stunted, deformed fish with HLLE (head and lateral line erosion) as each of them can grow to 12" and are very messy. But you'll probably kill them off before that doing stupid stuff like this.
Maybe it's because I've been keeping cichlids for 10 years (oscars are a South American cichlid by the way), but I don't find this funny at all.
Is a living animal considered just property? Living creatures should be treated with some respect, regardless of if they're cute and furry or scaled and finny. If you kept two dobermans locked up in your bathroom for 10 years that's animal cruelty but with a fish tank it's fine?
I didn't tell him what to do, I simply stated that the fish will end up dead, sick, or deformed well before they die of old age (they can easily live 15 years). And dropping them onto the carpet definitely removes their slime coat, as does bashing them into the tank hood. Secondary infections (bacterial and fungal) happen much more easily when the fish are already stressed from a poor environment let alone stupid handling like that.
If it was a video of a trout who'd someone (you didn't know; I know you and eggs are BFF's for lyfe) just hooked, whipped out of the water into some bushes and then flopped it around on the rocks (I'd say carpet is worse, totally removes the slime coat) for 30 seconds before releasing would you not say it was wrong?
I know I'm going to get flamed for this since you guys have your "clan" and those in it can do no wrong so go ahead and let me have it.
im not gonna argue with you,,carry on with your PETA agenda....not sure what to make of "clan remark"
