Finally back to new worlds

[neutrino]

Your right in a few ways Neutrino but Also with NW patience and reward is also a factor. Not many keep New Worlds long enough to see what there true beauty, nature and visual sastifaction really is. That takes years and is seldom seen. I also love how same species can look so different.

And off course the big one, personality! There is no comparison this is all off course, IMO

True, good point. Not something I always think of, somewhat foreign to my approach to the hobby. I've kept a lot of species long term and have a pretty good list of individual fish, including new worlds, that I've had live ten years and longer.

Well, as they say (or used to say), different strokes... I agree on new worlds, basically where I started with fish (also oddballs). Then did African cichlids for 15 years, lot of species, lot of breeding. Always did have at least some severums, green terrors, etc. during that time, but eventually started feeling like I'd been there done that with the Africans, so I've been back into new worlds myself for several years... kept the Kapampa though. One thing they have in common with some new worlds in my perception is being a graceful fish... graceful and grumpy...

But, yeah, not as much a wet pet as some new worlds, though if you have them long enough they are a fish that watches you, comes to the top for food, some people can even pet them. And occasionally one will do entertaining little things like a male I have that when in the living room tank would repeatedly capture air bubbles at the surface, go to the bottom and let them out with an audible pop, sometimes apparently for his own amusement, sometimes to get my attention when he wanted food.
