Animal Cruelty

Does this qualify as animal cruelty?

I think he could fit one or two more fish in there? Don't you?

Lets just hope it was for the film then they put them in something a little more spacious at least.

Wonder how he would keep water in that tank come feeding time?

Dang. Hahaha. Yeah, I bet he does water changes every day. That would have to be torture though.

Who's to say that the angle the shot was taken from isn't the center section of a 300g tank? I mean, the fish all look pretty healthy and active to me......

I'll say it. It's not a 300gal aquarium. Maybe 30.

Agreed that tank is way to small. That is definetly cruel. Those fish look healthy, that makes me think that this tank is not the permanent home. (put in the tank to film the clip)

Well if the tank is 30g, then yes, I'd say that is pretty crappy, but thinking about it, the guy probably did it for a screen-saver or something.
