Posted very over stocked tank

i have just been on ebay and have found this tank for sale item number 230188190839 it's a 24" tank with 15 goldfish! now as a goldfish keeper myself for that size tank i would not keep any more than 4 2-3" fish, goldfish produce massive amounts of waste.
(i want to buy the tank now just to ensure the fish are better housed) is it just me or does this make you mad!!!

yuk!

Looks like it's running on a tiny internal filter too, the fish are probably exposed to a constant level of nitrite.

It's horrible, i'd be doing 50% water changes a day just to keep that lot ticking over.

I dont get mad as such Tina, as unfortunately this thing just happens and is happening all the time

You never know the full cirumstances just from an advert, but it's not good practice to say the very least

The tanks only half full. Could get plenty more fish in there. I love the gravel.
