I saw the 50,000 gallon thread, then keep reading and noticed that this same man also has a 15,000 gallon thread and thought "this guy is crazy........perfect, im in."
what were your first thoughts when you discovered MFK?
- Thread starter Greenaveli
- Start date
MFK actually got me into the fishkeeping hobby. I remeber having a couple of arowanas in the Philippines when I was younger and the hours I spent on watching it feed.
When I discovered MFK, I was like "Cool! A very informative forum with lots of nice photos!"

"omg... a fish forum that doesn't obsess over overstocking and the ethics of feeder fish"
"omg those are some big ass tanks"

We ARE talking about MFK right?
If there's a forum out there with more "you're overstocked!!11!" posts I don't want to see it.I haven't seen that many... maybe this forum has so many options and sections I just havent found them yetCTU2fan;915470;915470 said:We ARE talking about MFK right?
This place seems to say "try it and hope for the best" a lot more than others.

that is the MAIN reason i started posting here regularly and joined this site. i had been either restricted or completely banned from a couple of other fish sites because as soon as i posted pics or talked about keeping (at the time) 2 oscars, a gt and a jd in 55gl tank i would get flamed big time. it just seemed like everyone here had a much more positive outlook on fishkeeping.
personally, i've been doing the chatroom thing since the early 90's and have racked up 12K+ on a couple other sites that i visit over the years, my most is 13588 posts on a site i've been a member of since sept/2002. i'm not about to back down from some 15 year old critiqueing my fishkeeping skills or commitment level.when some of the mods would engage in the flaming i never backed down and went for the jugular.
but when i came here and talked about my fish situation all i heard was "great looking fish", "what are your long term plans" and my personal favorite and what completely changed my involvement in the hobby, "ya know, if you're looking for a cheap big tank try the recycler or craigslist". when i started doing that more than a year ago the number and size of my tanks more than doubled...lol
