This is why I think fish stores should be required to display a visual reference for the full adult size of each species they sell. An outline decal on the tank, wall, and/or floor so people can see just how big those cute little baby fish truly get.

The boy in the shop managed to convince me that 4 or 5 tiger barbs would be better with a white cloud mountain minnow, a few danios, 2 ghost and 5 cherry shrimp. Luckily I double checked before I put them in my tank and just managed to get in touch with them before the shop closed...close shave!

I want to Petco once and saw the cutest Chinese Alge Eater, about an inch long. I thought he may be a good addition to my 20 gallon tank, until I looked at the information card and saw how big they can get. Then I realized that I got it confused with the Otocinclus. They can look similar if you are still new to the hobby.

Yep, I have one of those in my 29g & he's fine now, but I'm worried. They said he'd only get to be maybe 2/3 in, but clearly that isn't true. I'll have to look up the Otocinclus, but they labeled this one a Golden Chinese Algae Eater (he's bright yellow, his name is Sunny lol). This was Petsmart though & they've misled me on more than one fish (they also said a rainbow shark-I think it's a red tail-would be comfortable in a 20g), I won't be buying fish there again unless I've done my research first because they apparently have no idea what they're talking about. The Petco here is a lot better, they're much more knowledgeable, but I've still learned to research myself. I've only been fish keeping since I bought my son a tank for his birthday in January, now we have his 20 & my 29, so I'm very new to this. I've fallen in love w/ female bettas, they're full of personality & curious like my dogs. Lol I have 2 female bettas, an African Dwarf Frog, the algae eater (that I'll probably have to rehome) & some male yin-yang guppies in my tank right now. Planning on another ADF, 4 more male guppies & possibly a couple more female bettas so they can have a sorority if these 2 do well together, so far they're both gentle & the older one acts like a loving mom to the baby. The baby's name is Apple, cutest fish I've ever seen. 🤣

Pacu. Everybody loves the idea of a fish that looks like a Piranha until it grows up and turns your tank upside down. While the Red Belly Pacu is reportedly a herbivore, I personally think of it as more of an omnivore. For the record, every hobbyist I know that has ever kept a Red-Bellied Pacu has ended up with just that one fish and a bare tank. You might be lucky to have some hardscape and that's about it. That species of fish will inevitably eat *all* of your tankmates and proceed to torture your pleco _literally_ to death. It honestly baffles me why the Pacu continues to be offered on the commercial market. Nonetheless, I do know of one individual that converted his swimming pool to a closed-system aquaponics setup in which he kept both Tilapia and Pacu as a food source. Mind you they are in a very large swimming pool that has a deep end of approximately fifteen feet and a copious amount of overall water volume. The second fish that immediately comes to mind is any species of _Gar._ Cool in concept but tremendously difficult in application/captivity. Stay classy my friends. EDITED for content.

Another thing with Mollies (and most livebearers) is even if you have your parameters set correctly, if you get a mass of fry, it can both be really tough to maintain parameters and you then are often running a losing battle trying to rehome 30 fish that were born in the past month. I think that's a LOT for a new keeper to manage, so i def advise new keepers to stay away from them until you're into the hobby enough that you can work with a club/have assurances from the store to buy/donate excess fry.

Another fish that comes to mind for me is the Black Skirt Tetra, another larger tetra that, like the Buenos Aires and the Tiger Barb, gets fairly big, are very active, and can be quite nippy. But people often recommend a 20-gallon minimum which I personally feel is too small for even five or six of them, and then you have the glofish versions which are often kept in tanks as small as 10 gallons if even that

When I was a teenager in the 90's I saw this beautiful albino fish in the store, it was so tiny barely a centimeter. It was super active and cute so I bought it. Big mistake. That fish I bought was an albino walking catfish. Funny thing is they didn't use that name only the latin name. Hopefully the fish stores are less sketchy these days! It grew so fast it was insane. I don't think I've ever seen a fish grow so fast. It ate *everything* that it could fit in its mouth. That's when I learned that you don't just buy something from the store without some research. To be fair it worked out since back then I kept large native fish as well so it fit in with the rest of the pack, which at the time was carps, perch and pikes, which all required quite large tanks.

Thing is, all this is extremely subjective and based on the person, their experience, their setup etc etc. Tiger Barbs are a perfect example. I've got several 20 gallon talls & longs with 15-20 Tiger Barbs in each along with a couple 2-3 Gouramis, with zero problems for years. Each tank has a Fluval 406 or 407 on it with a few Cory's also in each, and the tank and Barbs along with the Gouramis have done and are doing great. But good general advice for sure Prime Time. 🙂

No plecos? About 10 years ago I thought I'd return to fishkeeping after not having a tank for several decades, and having a daughter I wanted to turn on to it. I was persuaded to buy a couple "standard" plecos who were then about 3" long. The shopkeeper knew the size of my tank (20 gallons) but never warned me how big they'd get. Jump ahead a few years and now I have a 65 gallon, and those plecos are still with us but now they're about 8-9" long. I try to provide lots of places for them to hide with plantings and driftwood, but they've now become pets for us (Didi and Gogo) and I cannot see moving to a larger tank in the near term. I realize I need to rehome them with someone else with a bigger tank. So a bit of a dilemma.

Mollies are small but they like to roam over large areas. I bough 4 Gold Dust Mollies and tried to keep them in a 20 gallon long. It was obvious to me that they were restless and wanted to swim out and explore the whole room. They need a very large aquarium. Not because they are big but because they like to go places and not be confined in a 'prison cell'. They get bored, fight and eat their own fry in a small aquarium.

Stores do this because it "guarantees" people will have to upgrade to larger tanks and spend more money there as the fish grow. As the customer grows more and more fond of the fish the longer they have them. They are more likely to upgrade to larger and larger tanks as there previous become Inadequate. I just cant see a store not putting themselves in a position. To keep you coming back. Just my opinion.

I'm very new to fish keeping and made the mistake of getting a "rainbow" shark (I think it's actually a red-tail) for my son's tank. I did ask the store how big he would get and if he'd be okay with his other fish, they reassured me everything would be fine and he wouldn't outgrow a 20 gallon tank. 🤦♀️ At first everything was fine, but I started researching not long ago because he quickly grew to be about 3in long...and now I have no idea what I'm supposed to do with him. I can't keep him in that tank, and I can't move him to my 29 gallon, either, both are too small. What do you do with a fish? I've never had to rehome a fish before. It breaks my heart, but he deserves a bigger and better home! I've definitely learned my lesson about buying fish at Petsmart. I wish I had a family owned fish store around here, I guess I might have to start buying online.

Even in a 55g I struggle with mollies. They breed like rabbits and just generally upset other tank mates by chasing. A lesson learned no more live bearers ever 🤣

I know the pain. I had a set of Endlers for about two months and was already at the they have got to go. Which is a shame as the males are one of my favorite looking small fish.

I scream whenever I see a rainbow shark or redtail shark in anything smaller than a 40 gallon.

I’d say bettas and goldfish are the fish this happens to the most just because they tend to be purchased most often, especially by beginners who are ill equipped to keep them and did no research. Honestly fish get put into tanks too small for them far more often than not. Just do a little research people. It takes all of five minutes and the fish will be happier and healthier and your kids will be far less traumatized since you won’t be swapping out fish on a weekly basis 😂

Livebearers in general should be kept in larger tanks than most recommend, particularly if you're mixing sexes and don't have somewhere to offload fry. Can a couple male guppies go in a 5 gal? Sure. Are you gonna run out of space in no time flat if you there are females in the mix? Yep!

yeh but guppies have a really low bioload so you can fit more in a tank than you think. you can breed them in a 10g if there is population control and you can rehome what you need to. i had about 100 fry in my 20g and my parameters are always steady and there is room for everyone. having live plants means you can support a lot of guppies.

So I guess a great white shark in a 20 gallon won't work? :) Bummer I'm being funny 🤣

Did you know that cory catfish can develop hole in the head? Found that out the other day when I lost a pair of robust corys. Also found out that air bubbles can be bad. Lost 2 dwarf guramis and a couple dalmation molly to dropsey.
