My $300 Mistake

[@aranthifernando6944]

Man I hear your pain. But.... If I buy a fish (with or without proper images or knowledge about their health) I will keep em. I will treat em soo good that they will in return loook sexy as fuck! It works no matter how bad the fish are. If I bring em home. They are here to stay. Kinda sad you are giving up on them cuz they are not up to your quality standards.

[@kristiemowry3267]

Kinda late viewing this, but couldn't believe how many viewers gave it a thumbs down. The Tropheus I have seen are, like a lot of fish, nicer looking though not always as colorful when young. Fighting takes a toll on them. Maybe they were overpriced. Our local store sells 1/2 inch fish for $30 dollars. So maybe they weren't. Also, when large only the dominant male is going to really color nicely. I agree with those that said this lady was very generous in making it up to you. She is to be applauded for her understanding of possibly your very high expectations.

[@aliaswrong9004]

I feel bad for the fishes

[@AD-fd9vz]

I like how you inform people about the situation and what you would have done instead of, like so many people on the internet would do, "bash" on the seller and complain. It actually help people see what they need to look for if they want to buy "used" fish.

[@Thaleya1]

I would just make her return a bit of the money because the fish werent' up to quality. The fish would heal as much as they can and color up, and fatten up over time and with good care. I would just see it as good I could save those fishes atleast. But yeah we all want different things, I think you were to hard on the fish though.

unless you are specifically trying to breed these fish and sell them to people who are going to judge them for their appearance and make a purchase accordingly, why not keep the fish and just nurse them back to health? even the healthy fish of this species aren't really all that pretty. but what does it matter? I have six little corydoras and they are not the prettiest fish but they have lovely personalities and I enjoy watching them socialize with each other

[@purrrrson]

I don't think you should have returned the fish to her. She obviously didn't know how to care for them. What you should have done was had her return your money, given her back $20-$30 and kept the fish. Then tell her that returning the fish to her was most likely a death sentence for them and you would rehabilitate them, get them healthy again and give them a good home. If none of them died, you could return another small sum of money back to her but your time was worth money too and caring for sick fish takes money too. I know it's too late now. I hope those fish found a new home and weren't just flushed or worse......released into a local lake or pond.

[@vincevengeance9755]

no he doesn't has love for them. all he want is to get his money returned and buy another new batch of beautiful fish. probably for display tank, for other people to come and praise his beautiful fish. some people they keep animals because they want to watch it and let other to praise about it. some people keep animals because they love that animal. these people they care more on the love parts of the animals, and not for display. so you will see some people they love to keep so many juvenile fishes and cull the ugly one when they realize it, so that he can have beautiful fishes which make him proud. then you will see some people they keep some ugly fishes and some beautiful fishes and when you ask them, "why you keep those ugly fishes?" you will most probably start to hear them talking about the story of these fish, how he rescue them, how he felt pity for them when they are abused by the previous owners and so on. so there are always these 2 type of fish keepers. one for the display and proud. one for the love of that fish (like dogs and cats).

[@etm3398]

who in this world wants to keep ugly fish?

[@chickenstrangler3826]

They're millions of fish, why keep ugly ones? There are 3-4 million dogs euthanized each year so should you give the sick ones a home or the healthy ones a home? Obviously the healthy ones should live and, unfortunately, the sick ones will be euthanized.

[@davehendricks7023]

[@cali2558]

Sorry to hear about your experience. Looks like there are a few that look ok. The new fish are stunners.

[@danieljckson]

Wow so disappointed, you rescued several animals, showed them how great life could be then dumped them because they were not pretty enough, how sad for the fish. My fish are my pets and no less so then my dog. They aren't trophies to be put on a shelf they are pets to be cared for. For a brief moment those fish had what seemed to be one the best people on the planet to care for them and now what? wonder how many of those are even alive now...

[@AquaticLogic]

Unfortunately I do not have a messiah complex, nor do I have an unlimited amount of money. I would love to see your rescue efforts though because there are a lot of sick and needy fish out there.

[@JamesKing2understandinglife]

I understand your logic. Making purchases is done for reasons that each individual find important!

[@danieljckson]

I have taken many "rescued" fish from people who would have just flushed them if not for me so you are barking up the wrong tree there my friend and every dog I have ever had was a rescue, I donate regularly to Hope for Paws and a couple of other groups and I help a local rescue so is it ok if I comment about the care of those fish?

[@danieljckson]

for that matter if I get ANY animal and find its been neglected I would never give it back... Its not having a messiah complex its having humanity.

[@danieljckson]

You are all missing the point.... You all care more about what these animals look like, they are trophies to you not animals, they are things, no different then a dresser or end table to you. One scratch and its it the trash with ya, I needed a prettier one.

[@tamonettX500]

Sorry about the purchase :( Wouldn't they eventually heal and fatten up and look beautiful again? Also, no matter how thick glass is, tempered, etc, I just can't understand how so much heavy rock doesn't break the bottom lol Great tank!

[@AquaticLogic]

I suspected that these fish had poor genetics, and the phenotype with the orange band was not going to manifest even if the fish were healthy. As for the rocks, I do double styrofoam. I support the bottom of the tank with it, and I also add some inside the tank on the bottom. It spreads out the load on the glass, and prevents any form of deflective load, which makes it safe. The sand also buffers out the dynamic load if I accidentally drop one.

[@batman2sexy]

I know you got screwed out of your money, but a part of me wishes that you would have taken them anyway and nurtured them back to health because honestly, that woman could NOT do it on her own if they had gotten to that condition on her watch. (Btw i had to check twice that i spelled nurtured right because it looks rly fuckin weird when you think about it too much)

[@petergriffin818]

Wow.. The seller is a much better person then me. After she drained her tank you expected her to hold them in what a bucket? So you pretty much killed the whole batch.

[@MasterAquatics]

people in the comment section really need to calm down... especially the ones that dont know shit about the hobby. when its about fish its all about the looks. you dont go to the pet store and pick out fish that you feel bad for or need to be rescued. you pick out fish that you like to look at. fish are very expensive pets so when you pay a x amount of money for a fish you want what you pay for. maybe he did not discard the fish properly but its understandable.

[@Melleefrase]

From your video they don't look any different. I checked twice but I can't see any difference. If a fish has an eye problem maybe that's not so good but it seems to be swimming well. If your water quality is so good and you are feeding them good then a visually impaired fish shouldn't be such a big deal.

[@strawberryyogurt0]

I'm always curious about what happens after the video. Under the comment section, I read that she took everything back and you got a full refund. But what was the whole story behind it and after it? She wanted to get out of the aquarium hobby and that's why she sold them, or something else? Did she refill her tank and simply kept all the fishes? etc. etc.

[@AquaticLogic]

To be honest I cant do much to delineate what happened after our reverse transaction. She took the fish, I got my $300 back, and I have not seen them re-posted for sale on the aquarium forum that we are both members of. She is still in the hobby with many, many, many tanks, but my suspicion is that she is having a hard time selling things now because word got out (to some extent) about what happened... And some of my friends watch my KZbin channel ;-)

[@rychew1280]

I would have asked for my money back too. I may have kept a few of the better quality fish but who is to say. I would have been rather ticked because a sick fish can contaminate the hole tank. I would always have a quarantine tank before introducing them to a community. I would say you made the right call.

[@nicklinkzelda]

I really don't think you know a lot about tropheus honestly but I have a few things I want to point out to you. If you keep all red Bemba tropheus then maybe you will see that vibrant red color more often. That red color does not stay with the fish as you would see with the duboisi head turn blue, it's not the same phenomenon. I recommend making it a species only tropheus tank. I had demasoni once in with my tropheus and it was overall a bad idea. Demasoni aren't even from Lake Tanganyika. Second I can safely say you got a stellar deal for that many tropheus! Full grown tropheus would run you around $50 a pop in my area and that's on the cheap end. Third you may not even have the right food for them. Not all spiralina flakes are made the same. Look for some that have paprika and garlic in it. They love to munch on big wet flakes from what I can tell. I suggest getting yours some Dainichi veggie deluxe pellets and veggie fx pellets. It's better than new life spectrum and helps flush out toxin from their long intestines. Hope your tropheus are doing better now. Best of luck!

[@AquaticLogic]

Thanks for the comment. These fish are the Orange phenotype of the Bembas, not the red. That goes to show how poor their genetics were. Secondly, I kept a huge colony cohabitating with demasoni with both sets of Tropheus and they got along just fine. I did not observe a single conflict between the two. I did end up selling off all the demasoni to help pay for my Saulosi. Prices for fish can be highly variable, and it can vary depending on location and availability. Prescribing a price is really problematic. Lastly how does Dainichi “flush out toxins”? I’d love to know. Thanks

The cyclids are too aggressive and territorial to accept other strange fish and have arrived so easily. So that there are no problems in the future, you have to put others that are 50% smaller than the most. In addition, the population is already very numerous to put others.

[@derrickcohen1998]

I think ppl r missing the point here. They are focused on how Andrew described them more than clear facts.

He was not given an honest opportunity. AKA deceit.

[@tincupco]

You should dedicate your tank to either Tanganyika or Malawi lake species. I kept Malawi cichlids for over 25 years because I found the species from Lake Malawi much more colorful, easy to keep (they are very hardy), they are generally less expensive than Tanganyikans and they come in all different shapes.Malawi cichlids also have great personalities.

[@JcapGT]

Hey man those are cichlids... Give it two years and all of yours will start to look banged up as this is survival of the fittest. Go to and aquarium or zoo and check out the hippos/African penguins/fish from Africa and their cichlids have a more massive tank and much more room per capita. They are not a schooling fish at all and do not need to be with that many at close quarters. The only way to avoid your next problem as they are still small fish is create as many hiding places as possible and increase that live plant growth by fertilizing them with the fish waste/detritus material. It will just be war all the time. Changing rock placement frequently will make them change territories as well and can be beneficial. Get ready for natural selection in this fish tank, but get more rock/driftwood! I have made every mistake having tanks over the last 10 years and can give honest advice if you need. You’re doing great with the diet of them and I can tell that you honestly care about the fish with the passion I did when I first started out! Good luck & Hope this helps!

...small bemba looks ok but, when they grownup they orange colour get dirty, (dominant male kept colour most the time), that is why I got Kiriza right now

[@35183116]

You really should keep them 2 more weeks. I get that u were screwed in the fish condition, but u should have kept the fish a little bit longer or give them to another fish hobbyist who can care for them instead of giving them back to her.

Poor fish have to go back to that place

[@AquaticLogic]

Unfortunately yeah they had to. I could not verify their genetics, and I could not handle the possibility that these fish could make it genetically impossible to look beautiful. I have to problem with (and actually enjoy) rehabilitating fish, these ones seems too high risk for me, especially because I have never kept Tanganyikans before.

Aquatic Logic i have raised tropheus for a long time.... they are very aggressive... they beat each other up until things get worked out.... keep changing the environment up.... they have to reorganize.

@@AquaticLogic I know this is a really old video, but i just gotta say.. "I could not handle the possibility that these fish could make it genetically impossible to look beautiful:.. this statement makes you look like an absolute asshole.. Will not be watching any more of your videos.

[@kat_g56]
