I was at the big al's in kitchener today they have a shoal of red bellies the biggest one was 10" maybe 11" the others were around 8 to 9 inches. I believe they have seven. Thick guys too! The thing that sucked was that they are crammed into a tiny tank! They are all crammed into a tank that would house their convicts! Disapointed! Meanwhile they even had a huge tank available! it was atleast a 110 gallon should have put them in there!

Absolutely man, that is such bs when they cram those poor fish in such small tanks...i mean it may be temporary but regardless its bad for them and may even hinder the store from selling them or making money...I mean in that small tank they are going to get stressed, fight, and fill up the tank with a bunch of waste causing amonia to rise...guy is not gonna be happy when he sees his fish all sick if he don't take care of em! Sucks too cause this happens all over!

well honestly its too small for them to really fight since it would be very hard for them to turn around. There is not enough airation in the tank. plus they are already getting ammonia poisoned. Since a couple of them started to get a clouded eye and their skin is starting to look a bit fuzzy. Poor fish are burning in there from the ammonia
