I hate this mentality... have you ever seen a grown, mature comet goldfish? They are way cooler than the stupid goggle eyed, inbred, barely can swim "fancy" goldfish. And they cost 9 cents. I don't see a problem.

When I was 8 yrs old, I won two feeder goldfish at a local carnival (throwing a ping pong ball into a bowl). They were named Silver and Goldie and went from a bowl, to a 20 gallon and finally a 60 gallon where they lived to be 12 years old and around 9-10 inches long. I never thought that my longest living fish will have been goldfish.
yeah, i kept the two that used to cycle my tank (got a couple videos on them in my sig) and they're pretty big now with huge fancy fins. Definitely cool pets as about any other fish.
Elitism bugs me, especially in fish keeping. Whatever fish you keep and think its cool, there are people in the parts of the world where they come from who think westerners are silly for keeping what they eat for dinner as pets.
What do you think about that for a feeder concept?
Heck, I have kept plenty of cool reptiles and used to raise rats and mice for them.. now today I think the rats and mice actually make the better pets. By a far degree actually. They're as smart as dogs, really.

I once was buying some male endlers from my lfs. On the tag it said they were livebearers which they are. And some other stuff.
The lady helping me for some reason, decided to start talking to me about the endlers and had continued on talking about how endlers are part of the tetra family.
I didn't feel like correcting her, so I assume she still thinks this way.

I sometimes wonder if those species get called lobster do to claw size and shape compared to a lot of crays thier claws are massive especially the alleni. I had a female whos claws were about 3/4 inch across when she was full size and a male with claws more than two inches long.
where as marble crays ect have weee little claws.
