Did anyone see the Tanked Tv episode with Neil Patrick Harris?

Did anyone see this TV show Tanked. The episode with Neil Patrick Harris? In the side story, a young kid came to them and wanted a shark tank. And they made him an 8 gallon tank with Bala sharks, guppies and redtailed sharks! Did that make anyone else want to scream? WHAT THE HECK WERE THEY THINKING? Or maybe you know somthing about what they were thinking that could help me stop wanting to bang my head on the wall.

Update:

Tanked is an American Tv show on Animal Planet. Some men and women have a business where they build special creative aquariums and ponds for costumers, many of whom are celebrities. Some of the aquariums are very interesting, but the show is often corny and lags so I do not watch it often. They usually work on saltwater tanks, which I do not know anything about, but I have seen them set up freshwater tanks with incompatible species in extremely crowded tanks.

    My father actually emailed the show and gave them a nasty letter, a very ugly letter.

    The show is all frauds and architecture and animal cruelty. They care about making a cool tank not about the fish that suffer. My father is itching to get some of his higher up contacts to get a lawsuit on them. I told him that Tanked has enough money to get the best of best lawyers and a whole slue of people that would agree fish don't know pain.

    Did you see the one where they made a 10g aquarium out of an old TV and put 6-8 rainbow sharks in there! It was horrible.

    I never watch that show, it makes my father angry, my mother cry, and all the fish breeders here at the work place spend time sending weekly emails to them protesting animal cruelty. I swear that show has taken up most of my family's time.

    EDIT: I almost gagged when I went on their website and it said stuff like this:

    "Tired of skimming aquarium manals, then learn from us!" Dearmotherofgod!

    "All fish do better in schools and groups!" That's friggin laughable!

    "If you have 2 really aggressive fish they'd do better in a 2000 then a 50!" Hell no!

    if you actually keep up with the show you would know the company are no experts when it comes to fish in general. all they do is build aquariums/terrariums. they know nothing about keeping fish.

    many of their tanks are actually over stocked if you watch their show. i have watched all the episode up to the newest one which i believe was last night with neil patrick harris.

    i even watched their behind the scenes. i forgot the other guys name the fat one but he showed his daughters fish which was a betta in a fish bowl -.-" no heater, no filter.

    you going to think i believe these guys are experts yet alone as smart as petco/petsmart/walmart employee's? lmfao fking ridiculous.

    only reason why these guys have a show in general is because they make different tanks and you can bet the prices are not cheap as with anyone they try to sell their worth and over do it. in the end the tanks are not suitable for the aquatic life they house at least space wise. they never do show other things like filtration and heaters

    I swear they make incredibly pretty tanks. Back when I didn't know better, I was actually wow, the tank is filled with pretty fish. Now that I actually know, I look at it like, can the fish even turn around without bumping into another fish?

    I thought they were pros. They're pros yea, at making the fancy aquariums, but not at stocking. Poor fish in those cramped *** tanks.
