A. These animals are often not bred in captivity. They are shipped from the wild, where they are caught in brutal ways. They are torn away from their families and shipped to be "trained" as circus clowns. They go through mental breakdowns and often try to kill themselves (stop breathing, or ram their heads repeatedly into walls). It is a very violent business keeping Marine Mammals in captivity. The animals welfare isnt taken into consideration. The aquariums make tons of money off of them, and when they die they get a new one. Do some research online about Marine Mammals in Captivity, you will be horrified by what you find.

Where can I find regular aquariums?
Q. I know I can go to my local pet store, but I wanted to know some websites as to where I can find just regular aquariums. I don't want a kit, just the glass. Don't say craigslist or anything either!! (-: Thanks for your time.

A. Ordering tanks off the web will be expensive because of shipping. You can just google "aquariums" and tons of stores will pop up.

A. It's not the plants that spread the disease, but the water from the tank they were in. Fungal spores, parasites, bacteria, and viruses that are in the water from already diseased fish may get included with our plant - a lot, if it's bagged with water, less if there's no water added to your bag (but there will still be some water clinging to your plants). It's always a good practice to never add water from a store to your tank - you add all the nasty things in it as well. Fish should be acclimated with water from your tank in a separate container (this gets them used to the new water chemistry, but also dilutes any potential parasites) and netted to be placed in their tank. Plants should be rinsed well - this may also help remove… [cont.]
