I thought I would post a couple of photos of the results of poor maintenance and crowding.
The following photos are of traded in fish (donation) that I feel give great examples of what can happen to fish when not maintained or bought on impulse. The first is of a RTG, of which I have four at the moment. The other three are in great shape but as you can see by the photo, the fourth is not. We virtually never order RTG unless a request is made and there is suitable space provided.
The second is of a beautiful wild oscar from our show tank. Next to it is a donated Oscar. Notice the difference in the body length compared to the wild oscar. Their heads are the same size however.
