When can I call myself a "Monster Fish Keeper?"

[Slippery K]

There is no real definition of a monster fish keeper, it just sounds cool lol

Have you seen the show river monsters? If you own one of them then you are on your way to becoming a monster fish keeper!!!!

When you feel you've earned the title.. For me it was when my fish became more then just a living peice of artwork... when they became family members/pets.

x2 about keeping fish in improper tanks. your not a MFKer if your abuseing a fish.

My definition is if you keep any fish that grows to monster size. Your a Monster fish keeper. So if you keep guppys and your super passionate about keeping guppys. Your not a Monster fish keeper in my book.

So basically, if you believe you are one, you probably are?

IMO, a MFKer is someone with extreme dedication to their pets. You can be a MFKer and keep small fish. MFKers are just hardcore to the bone.

The inability to buy a huge fish or a huge tank doesn't disqualify you from being a MFKer. The inability to care for aggressive small fish doesn't disqualify you. Just have that fire inside of you and you're a MFKer. Not everyone is rich, that doesn't have to mean you're not a monster at heart.

I like this definition. Most of my fish are relativly small South Americans not "MONSTERS" but I'm a dedacated MFK'er none the less.

Nailed it. I dont think simply having a rtc in a 10 gallon makes you a MFKer. If anything it makes you irresponsible and a poor fish keeper. The monster dedication many of us have for any of our fish species is what seperates MFK from "average keepers". All those hours of research, cleaning, water changes, feedings etc. Monster dedication
