>Well, most T-rex specimens we have are juveniles, or most likely juveniles. The ones we know are fully grown adults, like Sue tip the scales at 10+ tons. Sub adults are still in the 7-9 ton range. Seems like 10+ tons were an average size of a T-rex. If you're going to use a 1:100 000 specimen for elephants, then the same should be afforded the T-rex. Not impossible that a genetic outlier for a T-rex to be in excess of 15 tons, if not more.
Not even remotely true, scotty and sue are around 8ish metric tons and that seems to be a theoretical mass limit for bipedal megatheropods even the largest Carcharodontosaurids at 13+m all fall into upper end mass estimates that are in the same range as the largest rexes. Statistics doesn't take into account biological limits and evolutionary pressures and is using a warped and biased selection to begin with.
>Volumetric 3d models. That's the weight you get when you model in every organ, muscle and fat deposits. They were fat, idk what to tell you.
and they constantly oversize rex and undersize other large theropods Acrocanthosaurus being the main victim, more recent studies actually restore it as being on average more massive than the tyrannosaurus average but with less of a individual variation meaning it tops out as less than Sue or Scotties 8 tons
>Expand your mind, truth is not established just because a shitty paper that is often cited said so. Nobody has ever bothered to challenge it is all. Muscle, sinew, fat and skin also support an animals weight, not just bones. Plenty of large animals alive today brush off falls that should break their bones according to the oft cited paper.
Again, every giant carch with a reasonable mass estimate of a paratype/holotype is in the same range as Sue and Scotty. The going theory is that carchs and rexes had hit the ceiling for mass in a megatheropod, the point at which bigger was a detriment to survival so evolution stopped selecting for size

>An Elephant would freak out and run away if it came across a 10+ ton T-rex. They are smart enough to recognize a threat.
How strong even are the fear instincts of elephants? Being the biggest strongest animals around probably doesn't engender much of a flight response in your genes.

Depends how scummy your LFS is. Normal ones put them in an observation tank (a.k.a. quarantine) if they are fish they think can be sold. They risk contamination every time they have a shipment of fish, which is often weekly, so that is something they should be well-equipped to deal with.
I have done this personally when I was super tired of dealing with livebearers. I saw my fish being sold two weeks later at a ridiculous markup (many had unique patterns that I knew very well, so I know for a fact those were the fish I gave them).
>store credit
For those "common" fish, they didn't offer store credit (mollies). They have given me credit/cash for more valuable things, like coral and anemone.

I had 2 assassin snails but I separated them 4-6 months ago. Now I recently checked the breeder thank that the other one was put in and there are already tiny baby assassin snails in it. The main tank I have doesn't have any babies.

Its a logical fallacy. And non factual.

Have you seen NZ homekill videos, vegan schizo? Cattle are subhuman. Their will to live goes as far as how easily startled they are. That’s why cattle are cattle. Without a god to command otherwise we take precedence over animals because anyone stupid enough to believe otherwise depends on the sympathy, hard work, and good will of carnivores to not be a malnourished cretin. That’s consistent with their heccin ethics n sheeit (meaningless garbage, ghost stories that make theology look like rational conclusions)
