Why would you put a saltwater fish into freshwater?

I'm sorry but I have to speak up, I realize that to a lot of people fish are...well just fish. But a lot of saltwater fish have a normal lifespan of 10 to 15 years or more. They are also intelligent enough to recognize and remember the face of the one who feeds them. Buying one should be no different then buying a dog or cat because they should be with you for a very long time.
Nobody should buy a saint bernard puppy for a one bedroom apartment with the intention of finding a home for it when it is a year old because it is too big.

A cycling tank has ammonia, it is a toxic enviroment, the fish can't hold it's breath until the ammonia goes away. Even if it survives there is no telling what kind of gill damage it sustains

i shake my head at you two. There people in this world who i truly should not be aloud to have pets (or kids for that matter) and believe you two fall under that category

Why they are still member of this board i'm not sure. people are banded for saying inappropriate things. I think people should also be banded for stupidity.

i was unaware canreef MOD's would stand by well people admit cruelty to animals and still keep them on this form.

You guy's just don't get it...change the wallpaper on your computer and watch that...as far as this hobby goes your wasting time and money,and putting all your criters through hell !!!!!!!!!!!

How can you comare someones personality to how we treat SW fish. Now THAT is stupidity and we feed regularly and keep up to date with water parameters. So its the same thing as me saying that you put your kids in your reef tank as fish.

Its verbal attacks like these that also get members a warning. Two wrongs dont make it right.

Would you like me to bring up all the threads where newbies cycled an aquarium using damsels. Now I, 100% dont agree with using fish to cycle but I would hope these guys would get that from the posts you guys have made.

The info regarding putting chromis in fresh water was just posted and thats is being taken into consideration.

Accusing the staff of neglect is not correct either. I already asked to keep this thread civil but guess that was for nothing. I did leave it open hoping it would, but in hind sight, should have closed it.

I apologize thats its gotten this far.

-i'm really trying understand how torture comes onto play,u make it sound
like im branding my fish, i meen come on i got a SG of 1.024, pH of 8.2, and no ammonia or nitrites, and if i ever get them, they'll go in the quarantine tank

- and by the way mik_101's tank is as clean as a new tank set up gets.
-and mine is clean clear and stable so WHAT torture???
