    Maybe he/she couldn't afford the tank anymore, so that's why he/she was selling. It's sad it got to that point, but thankfully the fish found a home with you and you will take good care of them! Hopefully you won't lose any more fish due to the transition. Once they are healthy post some pictures.

    Hopefully a mistake, maybe someone jealous of a new setup. I dunno, it's always good to hear someone doing something like this.

    Deserves a 5 and some karma IMO. 8)
