I stumbled upon this youtube videos of Oscars. Tell me if something doesn't seem right about the way these fish are being kept. Sorry if it bumbs anyone out; I just couldn't believe what I saw.

yeah, the tanks (all tanks are under size), the foot prints are not
ideal for huge fish like them....

and my tank situation is bad huh

are they your tanks Matt?? i haven't seen any post of your tank yet..

"It's a bigger tank. They couldn't handle that 20 gallon." What? It's 35??? I'm surprised any of those fish are still alive and as big as they are! How can people be that fucking stupid/ignorant?!?! I feel so bad for those fish! I want to go get them and bring them all home... LOL It's just too bad I don't know where they are and I don't have anything to put them in. I saw a massive fish in his long tank. Does anyone have any idea what kind of fish that was? It looked like a monster, but you only got like a 1 second glimpse of it.

It's a pacu and here one of my vids of some full grown specimen...in an incredibly large tank, which still seemed small compared to their size.



and that's indeed even worst to have in a tank that size, with 3 oscars.
Mind you his vids got no hits at all until we looked at them, btw.

Those tanks are horrible. I feel bad for the O's. They are all so beutiful too... but sadly, they will not keep growing in tanks that size. And they have no where to swim. And nothing to play with in the one tank.. can't even shovel gravel around.

yeah, B, my oscars do feel the need to roam the tank and inspect their whole territory together and my tank seems just big enough to keep them interrested.
I study and observe my fish, and i think they need somewhat of a natural environment for me to see what they'd do in the wild...


I couldn't find any info on his yt channel if the pacu was rehomed, or the oscars.
But the fish in the biggest tank do look healthy, but happy is a different story.
Maybe he's got a huge tropical pond where all the fish go into once they reach a nice size...or that's what i hope for these fish.

I doubt any fish has been rehomed or anything, as most of his fish videos are only days old, and the video you posted was literally posted within the last 24 hours. So, I don't think you're going to find any good news like you're hoping, because he doesn't even know it's bad yet!

Am I mistaken or did he say he was feeding them 'kibble?'

Kibble
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kibble is the act of coarsely grinding something such as grain.

Kibble may also refer to:

* Kibble, a component of dog food or cat food, as in Kibbles 'n Bits
* Chris Kibble (born 1963), British jazz musician

So i guess he was fed up with Chris Kibbles Jazz-music and coarsely grinded him to small bits and now is disposing of the body by feeding it to his fish.
