Fish keepers / Fish buyers

[dogofwar]

There are a lot of people who buy fish just to tell people that they have them. When the "cool" fish changes, so do the fish that they keep...

I tend to keep fish so long that they go through multiple cycles of cool and uncool. But that's just me.

ive noticed as a member for less than a year very few threads and not a wide variety of species kept that a lot of "MONSTER FISHKEEPERS" have monster ego's guys this isnt science clean water good food fish live what is the problem with people expressing their opinions about the fish they bought.... i cant stand all the people who keep aggresive fish together in a sa community tank and talk about dithers being a vital keeping aspect...... i cant stand people who kill fish trying to hybridize..... this site is very useful for its information but a lot of people detour us away the palnted forums out there dont have this hostility other cichlid forums i get your point about keeping fish and understanding them but a lot of kids this is new and exciting they want to be a part of this and imo this site exploits large aggresive fish feeders and not at any point do i see anyone promoting good begginer skills fishkeeping techniques they all go strait to the cichlid threads and talk about getting a huge tank and what can i put in it and feed them goldfish guppies or rose's i think this site needs a begginer section and i think fishkeepers should all have licenses for certain fish it is truely cruel at times and i see a lot from right here

this site is called monsterfishkeepers. its a place for people with exotic aggresive monster fish keepers to gather and share knowledge and ideas. i was a begginer when i joined this site. and i have learned so much from everyone here. you have to ask about what you dont know. if you dont how will you learn? this site doesnt exploit big fish, it makes them prosper by giving the right directions to "keep" them. for some of us its a challenge, or a labor of love to get what we have.

Why do you keep track of what other people have/are doing???Worry about your tanks, and maybe post a pic or two of your perfectly cared for specimens...You have been a member for 3 and a half years and 0 pics of your fish or tanks....I am guessing you have the best collection ever....3.5 years and this is thread #4 AWESOME!



Let me hit you with one of your own special one liners......"People buy fish and then sell them, so what?"...............

Wow, so violent I guess I can remove you from my "friends" that you requested................


By the way did you ever hear from the folks in Houston you were so worried about?

the question raised was a legitimate one, imo..

I guess every MFKer worth his salt goes through both stages....

Thanks, a coherent thought, not a hot headed response.

The increased acess to other keepers I have due to the internet and my willingness to drive 200 miles to go to fish club events has changed the way I keep fish.Im more willing to buy fish to try them out.Because I know I can find a new home for them if I decide I would rather keep something else.

With my post I had an agenda...I apologize for making a post, only to "get back" at a separate post, in a separate thread....I displayed poor forum etiquette, at the expense of someone I consider a friend. I understand if you never talk to me again, but publicly I must admit I retaliated for a post reverse made in one of my threads, that did not even bother me much. Sorry bro, I made a poor choice...

actually, i get where the OP is coming from. but i dont think the word "buyer" is best to use here.
it really should be: fish havers VS fish keepers.
and i think we all have the same point of view about them.
