I agree with you, alot of people do agree with the same thing, but also some don't. Some people can't help what happened, for instance when I got my fish two years ago. I got it from a petstore and it was marked as a comet and looked exactly like a comet and was a baby, certainly a 30 gallon tank was big enough for 1 comet, but then now 2 years later I find out that the pet store was wrong, my fish is a koi/comet hybred and can get to 4 feet long, I just found that out not too long ago, and that made since as to why she just doesn't stop growing, now that I coiuldn't help, I had no idea and obviously the pet stores didn't know that it wasn't just a Comet. Now that I do know, i am going to get her a much bigger tank:)
Like my rabbit, I knew what breed she was and I got her the proper space and everything, she has more space than she even needs because I knew how big she'd grow, but I didn't know how my fish would get that big because it was listed as a comet.
But please, don't get me wrong, I very much agree with all of you, if you know what animal you want to get, you should get the proper tank size, cage size ect before purchasing the animal.

Well obviously nobody meant a situation like yours, where nobody knew the fish was a mixed fish. That's not the same thing at all as intentionally buying pets with no idea how to care for them and not providing the proper environments.

I agree!!!
If you don't have the time or money to devote to an animal, don't get one. You can always volunteer to walk dogs at the shelter, or something!

Finally! THANKS FOR POSTING ABOUT THIS!
I've seen this from a few members, even more times in 'real' life, and held my tongue a fair few times. It's just not fair on the pet at all. It doesn't take much to buy a book or do a little research on not just the equipment and commitment needed but on the pet itself. I hate it when people just seem to go out and come home with animals when they feel like it. :(
