A cruel thing to do don't you think. I don't know what to tell you besides keep his water clean and watch for infections.

Best you can do is rehome him.I dont understand why you decided to do it?

I think until you can find him a home,you need to do as Susan said and keep his water clean.Also remove the piercing so it doesnt cause any more issues.

I could maybe understand if he had like a 3,000 gallon tank and was taging fish to help monitor. But piercing gun like ear piercing, lol. You have to be a special special kind of person to think that would be OK for a fish.

You should care. You represent this community by posting here, and we've always prided ourselves on being nice and helpful. Don't smear that reputation by responding to a post like that, and don't be surprised when you get infracted for flaming. If you feel the thread is unnecessary, or trolling, then report it and move on. Someone as helpful and prominent as yourself in these forums should act like an adult and not post like this.

I am reporting this as well.A thread like this leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

I did want to say,I understand where Ben is coming from.I have owned a mud puppy(the same thing basically)and I dont see how anyone could think to do such a thing.It enrages me even thinking of someone doing it.

Alright, enough is enough. I was hoping to keep this thread open to see what would happened. The person has other threads about the axoloti and don't think its a troll, I think its a kid that done a big mistake. But the thread is being locked.

This board isn't for flame wars and such so please represent the board in a responsible way.
