Wow, talk about bringing up an old topic. I actually read the entire thing though.
I used to dislike various kinds of fish...livebearers, goldfish, hybrids but now I pretty much like them all. I cannot rember who said it but a true fishkeeper really does appreciate all the different fishes for what makes them unique.
I remember someone knocking cyprinids...HOW DARE YOU!!!! Cyprinids are one of the most successfull familys of fishes in the world with more species under their belt than any other fish family. Sure, many of them are the bottom of the food chains, surely not monsters but for that reason we should all love them, they feed the predators you keep, both in and out of the wild. Show some respect.
