Thats a 220 US gallon Aquarium there, LOOK at the size of those barbs! (I think they're barbs) They're HUGE!



There appears to be a very large Pleco in there too along with some other bigger fish, and I'll bet this aquarium is overcrowded, even for a 220.

Need to give away one healthy 1 year old Oscar if you know of anyone interested. See the adoption thread for photos. Thanks!

They look like tinfoil barbs which can reach 12 inches

If you can't ignore an insult, top it; if you can't top it, laugh it off; and if you can't laugh it off, it's probably deserved

The Seller added this information about the fish in the 220 gallon tank:

(2) 12-inch Tri Colored Sharks (5) 12-inch Tin Foil Barbs (2) 12-inch Red Fin Sharks (1) 6-inch Parret (1) 3-inch Gold Severn (2) 6-inch Plakos

This aquarium is big, but not big enough for all those fish....

Unfortunately you're always going to get people keeping fish in unsuitably size tanks. All we can do is try and educate them. Problem is, most people buy the fish and then find out exactly what they've got themselves involved with
