I like the native personalities better than all my SA and African fish 100%, plus catching fish and putting them back doesn't allow you to actually experience the fish themselves and how they interact when they aren't being drug out of the water by their faces.

its a niche part of the hobby I'll give you that, but I enjoy my grass pickerel, crappie, catfish and p-seeds far more than my other fish.

the BIG PLUS is they were all free, and are replaceable without having to order them from somewhere.

EDIT: I'm not one of those freakin' colorful fish nerds either lol, I like how a fish behaves more than what it looks like, but during spawning time my alpha male P-seed will put 99.9% of exotic cichlids to shame color-wise.

haha fair enough, move to florida and you can see half the exotics you keep right in your back yard too haha

EDIT I live in a backwoods town in western PA haha, 50% of the stock in my 310 came from ponds ten seconds from my house lol. I find it enjoyable to net out young fish and grow them into wet pets.

Does it count if I keep Chubs, suckers and Panfish in a tank for a 24/7 supply of live bait?
