I was immediatly alarmed at this poor guys tank size and sent my friend out to pick everything up for me.
He came back with SEVERAL fish in buckets, and get this, the 55 is REALLY a 30 gallon long, and the 36 is REALLY a 20 gallon high.

I would really be after the person who sold something other then what it really was. I would atleast get $100 back out of that deal.

20 gal tanks are worth nothing used, can pick them up all day long for nothing and a used 30 gal (29 gal really) is worth about $20.

As for the fish, the goldfish I would just put down now and save it a few weeks of pain. The others maybe ok for awhile in the 29 gal with water changes.


Good luck
