My friend wants to rescue carps from supermarkets on xmas. What would 2 carps need in aquarium (how big etc)? She plans to hold them all winter and let them free on spring. (She already has a lot of fish, knows how to take care of them)

why-animals-do-the-thing answered:

I’m not going to give advice on this because releasing goldfish (a species of carp, I’m assuming that’s what you’re referring to) is majorly bad news bears and you should actively discourage your friends from doing so. Pet fish are often invasive and should never, ever be released into the wild.

From somebody who lives in a Great Lakes state: please please please please please please please please do not do this. Carp fuck. shit. up. Sorry for the language, but they really, really do. See, carp are big, sturdy fish and what they like to do as adults is root around the bottom of the lake and tear up all the weeds. They outcompete all the other fish and destroy spawning places- sooner rather than later you have just carp. In Illinois, we have electric field barriers in place in our canals to stop carp from getting into Lake Michigan because they’re such an unstoppable detriment to our ecosystems. If your friend wants to do a good deed for fish, donate to an aquarium or fish conservation fund- maybe one that helps spread awareness of the dangers of invasive species to local waters.

I think that the legipillar outfit for babies is a fine idea, but that baby is developmentally way past the legipillar stage and is going to fall over. The baby is going to faceplant. Kid is like 3 years old. Dude. That kid is thinking about getting into a good college. That potato bag design is gonna hold him back

Good take; this is a situation I did not account for, and I reckon that compared to a toddler, most adults are less likely to forget/ignore that their legs are in a sleeping bag and try to take off running.
