I think the pearling gives it away that that's a *gasp.......* HYBRID

[Mattymak]

 A Yellow Tang in a Red Sea Max 130D... that's just outright cruel, even for a small one.

 

edit: Not trying to start a fish keeping ethics debate, but pretty much all marine Tangs are wild caught, to see a creature that will swim *miles* per day (cant find an exact source for this) looking for algae to graze on confined to a 2ft long tank just makes me a bit sad.

Yep, but hey... 1500 is a bargain :/

Yeah that ad was up a few weeks ago and a few of us said the same thing.

My Gumtree LOL of the day goes like this...

I saw an Aqua One AR980

http://www.gumtree.c...lids/1054077153

And I thought it a bit steep, for $800 when one of the 3 fluros doesn't even work (and when there's ads on Gumtree for the same tank over East from $190 without stand or pump, $350 without stand to $600 with everything).

And that he says it comes with "10 cichlids" which include:

-1x grey cat fish
-1x brown cat fish
-1x clown loach

 

So I sent him an enquiry and asked if he could get more realistic on price and showed him this...

And he replied...

Thank you for your response.

Might I suggest you consider getting a job, if this (trawling gumtree) is the best thing you have to do at 1:37pm in the afternoon?

Now excuse me whilst I log off my email and return to mine, having had two minutes of my life wasted by you're email.

Much appreciated and best of luck.

 

So I thought OK, I'll play!!! 

And I said...

Perhaps you might spend 2 minutes of your life replacing the inoperative light.

And then get realistic by not pricing your second-hand tank in excess of the price of a new one.

Thank you for the humour you have provided us at work this afternoon.

(PS... it's "your email" not "you're email")

 

And his final response was...

Best wishes JJ, I hope that one day when you respond to a gumtree ad for no apparent reason (it still baffles me that you needed to talk to someone so badly that you responded to an ad on gumtree for a fish tank!), that you finally fulfil whatever it is that is missing from your life.

 

Guess I'm just in one of those moods today!

It is quite bad when you can get them from pet magic bibra lake for $12.95 each ;-)
