Skeeter4158098 said:Thats what I figured. Was just trying to see if I could rescue them from being stuffed in a 10 gallon. Guess she will have to learn the hard way. They are at her moms house were they live and the mom wont fork any cash for them so no substrate no heater and no filter and I guess she caught a frog to. Lol. She kept saying she wanted a fish tank when she would come over and see mine lol. Feel bad for the fish. Sometimes kids have to learn the hard way. She is 13 after all.
Lonestarbandit said:Well she can use her own substrate IE river rock and whatever else and will need a filter they are dirty fish like an Oscar but the could manage without a heater I imagine.

Lonestarbandit said:Let's put the brakes on the drama train shall we. People eat these fish. I'm sure that's not very comfortable for them either. Best thing would be to get her to let them go after a short enjoyment period. IE explain if she doesn't have the equipment to care for them they need to go "home" or they will die. If that doesn't work, you tried.
Greenphantom said:Yea definatley we eat them but when I eat them I kill them right away not slowly let them suffer and die slow thats all I meant and yes they are yummy

Lmao

Introducing fish back into the wild is a good way to spread diseases. Not to mention, I hate blue gill.
