That's sort of the problem. We sane folk are done trying to convince Joe Tankstuffer to take better care of his fish. Last time the 'overstocked tanks' thread came up there was just a bunch of irresponsible idiots with Oscars in 2 gallon bowls clapping for it. I miss the way it was, when people actually got shot down for irresponsible fishkeeping. There just aren't enough humane members left around, percentage-wise.

On the matter of overstocked tanks, I've always found MFK pretty hypocritical in that established members can put up pics of a JDM tank and get ten pages of positive comments, but if a new person asks about a tank size they will get flamed by those same members.

i have noticed that in recent years as well. but i do believe there is a difference between overstocked and JDM..

these days people are more afraid to post pics of smaller tanks (180 an up) with their silver aros, cats, cichla, dats..etc

go though the forums and find threads about the infamous toospicynoodle, his tanks were I N S A N E ely and massively overstocked, and yet he is one of the pioneers of monster fish keeping.

sorry for the derail erm!
