How many does it take to be an offical hoarder?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
And I got a dilemma. The LFS got two nice 2" endli's, $64 each, or two 2" lapra's, $73 each. I don't have any lap's, but I like endli's very much. I should go for the lap's, but...i don't know. Buy all four? How do I explaind for that back home?
 
is there such thing as too many bichirz? lol
 
A hoarder depends on where you are getting them from. If you snatch up every nice bichir that shows up at your LFS, then yes, you are a hoarder LOL
 
I would say 6.
1 more than you have.
I am on my way with 2 now and hopefully when I visit the lfs another one will be added to my list.
1 senegal
1 ropefish
1 delhezi is hopefully going to be their tomorrow.
 
I have 10 specimens:

3 Ornates, 2 Delhezi, Senegal, Albino Senegal, Retropinnus, Palmas, Palmas Buetikofferi

I really want some more. Congicus, Lapradei, Weeksii, and Endlicheri are all out there waiting for me.

I think you count as a hoarder as soon as you buy the fish just because it is either A) another bichir or B) a purchase made just to cross the fish off a "list" you may have in your possession.

As soon as you're buying to display and they become objects, not pets or friends, you're hoarding. IMHO at least.

- - I know I'm hoarding as soon as the fish don't have names. And to prove I'm not hoarding.... 26 names, top to bottom from my sig... "Harley" (Ansorgii) "Tiki" (Tikinso Hybrid) "Indy" "Bizzy" "Gustavo" "Ghost" "Fatass" "Starvin Marvin" "Hunter" (Endli) "Kong" (Koliba) "Deuce" (formerly "Medusa"... lol Endli Con) "Lucy" "Flopsy" "Marley" "Maverick" (Lap) "Fez" (Retro) "Sewer" (Buette) "Bandit" (Moke) "Badass" (Del) "Molly" "Paul Wall" (Polly) "Lil Guy" "Lil Boy" "Teenie" "Tiny" "Bandy" (Sens). Okay good. Still not a hoarder ;) I passed my own test :ROFL:

Oops, didn't realize that there was a Tikinso hybrid, got a pic? That makes 27 for ya..

I guess I fail your test? I've only got one, but he has no name.. for those who speak it instantly perish!
 
I'd say as soon as you want a fish just to have it you become a hoarder.
 
when you got or at least are trying to get every available species (sen, del, etc.) and every available variant (SB, platinum, etc... your a hoarder.

When you move on to getting the NOT SO AVAILABLE species (bichir bichir, ansorgii, teg, etc.) or at least the ones unavailable at your location, your probably an accomplished hoarder.

When you have every bichir there is... you better start a new religion coz a lot of people are gonna worship you. :D
and a lot of people on this forum are on their way there.
