Firstly...don't say "We" becuase I am only talking about a few members...my problem was with generalizing members from one site or another remember? I am not saying that MFK promotes dyed and tattooed fish.

Second...there are a lot of members here who keep them and others who want them or others who do not see a problem with them, IME these members seem to be absent from WW or at least not as common as here.

I assure you, they are not afraid to talk about in on WW as I myself have taken part in some conversations.

A lot of the tattooed fish are a "hit" sad to say in the Far East. If you see a lot more people here keeping them then here on MFK that goes to show that we are truly a worldwide site with members from all around the world coming here than just a handfull, that is why they seem absent there. We welcome fish keeping from different cultures and societies. We encourage a positive learning environment for fish keepers worldwide but at the same time we don't encourage this sort of pratice of tattoing fish. Some may like it, some may not, but bottom line is you can't force anyone to like or not like something and at the same time not ridicule or bash them about them liking it. Best you can do is tell them why it is bad and hope that they will take that into consideration the next time they think about purchasing these fish and if I remember right it was Neo who was posting most of these tatooed fish pics. But did you know that Neo doesn't buy these fish but they are given to him by importers who received them as samples.
 
As I mentioned on the "other" thread on this issue, let's just chalk it up to a "co-inky-dink" and not attach any false significance to the two ads. Board bashing sucks. :(

Good explanation, I do notice a wider diversity of fishkeepers here...one reason I love this site and visit it more than WW. My point boils down to this...DW said that the people here give better advice and care more about their fish, I don't think this is true or fair for the innocent memebers of WW.

I also know that Neo has dyed fish that were given to him, I wasen't really refering to him specifically.

I know overgeneralization sux, but sometimes it's is said in the heat of the moment.

Glad to have you here ST! As much as I know I don't fall on your good graces on fish keeping it's still a good learning experience to hear everyone's insight on things. :thumbsup:

I'm with you there, but it seems the "other" board let the thread run so we simply responded.

Maybe we can teleport the admins of each board to a remote island and force them to resolve their differences. I'm only a moderator, so I'll just stay home with a beer and watch the live video feed. ;)
