How dumb are some fish keepers

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I would think if that was true they would have been mentioned in more than just 8 threads in the last year...
Or Walmart, Petco, Petsmart and any lfs they always have Blood Parrot and majority of people buy way more BP than lyonsi.....no offense to lyonsi fans. I can understand why he don't want a lyonsi as he may wants something that is colorful or cool-looking but he is not dumb fish keeper as everyone has personal preferences.
 
Obviously not a cichlid keeper. Can't compare a hybrid to a full blood cichlid. Lyonsi are much nicer looking than a orange blob like a bp

Yeah plenty of biased purists in the cichlid section, now go to the hybrid section. Obsivously you don't get my point but I think you are getting worked up over nothing. Majority of AVERAGE fish keepers have blood parrots than a rare cichlid that is not readily available to the average fishkeepers. It's all personal preferances. I don't recalled that majority of us want have a lyonsi on their wish list.

Where it come from? Nobody claiming that they are/aren't cichlid keeper...so calm down.
 
A simple failed trade warrants all of this?

Think about it this way...the guy with the BP obviously like OPs lyonsi better than his BP otherwise he would not have made the this offer. The intelligence of the fish keepers has no real role in this; and the op needs not be upset.

How many times have we seen people here bragging about the steal of a deal they made on Craigslist?

This is just an example of a failed deal. Not much to see.

Nothing about this place is average...

To be fair, there are more keepers here kept BP than Lyonsi. Not all fish keepers like lyonsi and not all fish keepers like a blood parrot. As I keep says this....it's all personal preferences.
 
Ok I think I can end all this. The guy the op is talking about bout a fish from me a few weeks ago. Turns around and wants hellmans lyonsi and tells him the fish he has. It was an offer from the other guy and hellman was never going to take it anyway but he rather took it as an insult. I'm glad he didn't trade such a nice fish to a guy with more than overstocked 125 gallon. If I had known his stock I may have not sold him my fish. When I say overstocked I mean beyond...
