Not to sound like a kissass but Ridah's tanks are what got me into keeping pbass.
Let me make a note, "Add The True Guapote" to the friends list...LOL..HAHAHA =-(
Seriously though. I've preached this time & time again. networking is by far the best thing you can do for yourself in this hobby. You just never know where you will get your next fish from. The person you may combat with today could be the person who has you holy grail the next.
It's not about ass kissing or brown nosing but just being friendly. I've stated in the past that this is not a competition on who's got the baddest, best Cichla in the hobby, maybe a little bit of bragging but NOT a competition. If my pictures can influence someone to set up a tank better then mine, that's awesome. As this was the same motivation for me when I use to see many of the older hobbyist who had kept Cichla's in the past.
What's funny is that i think that from all the SUB Groups in the Hobby, the Peacockbass group has the most politics, drama and arguments amongst anyone else.
This is not something new as the heated drama was also present way before I got into the PBASS Game. I was in the background just watching. I'm sure many can remember the oldschool dramas that use to take place.
I guess drama just comes with the territory. I like to consider myself the U.N as I try to make peace with both sides...

.... I guess it's just part of my Libra sign being a scale.
