What Makes A Monster

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Size, demeanor, predation, toxicity, TEETH, carnage, appetite. I think all of those things are MONSTER.

There are a lot of areas that a fish can be a monster. It can be a monster regarding size, attitude, appetite, predatory behaviour, temperrment or how they are ranked in their own ecosystem. There are a lot of small fish that are the top of the pyramid in their ecosystem.

Ladies and Gentlemen i think we have a winner!
 
we do :D
 
That and even the monster fish are little at some point... and even they get predated by something else...
 
More than any definition I think it's one of those things you know when you see it. Like that member who has those 2 huge tinfoils in a 90g, I'd definitely consider those to be monsters.
 
i believe a monster is one individual, regardless of size/appetite/attitude, that is the spotlight of the tank. fish like aros, dats, knifes, and many others are the center of attention in the tank because of their characteristics. those fish are those that i see as monsters. anyone have something to add?
 
They're my fish, so if i say they're monsters, then they're monsters. If i say they are my cute little precious, then they are also.
 
I think a monster is what the general public thinks of it, if people come to your house and thinks a fish is nuts its a monster. I have a 5"-6" green Severum who will leave the water just to bite me, now thats a monster.
Also if kids see them and cry, they are monsters. My mums friend cant take her little girl in the back half of the house as she crys when she sees my Oscars.
