When Do You Consider Someone or Yourself to be "Experienced?"

I am reminded of a quote my dad would say, every man (woman) is my superior in that I may learn something from them. It holds true in fish keeping.
Experience doesn't an expert make....
We have all experienced the rain, but very few can scientifically explain weather.
I agree with before...approach everything with cautious curiosity and learn everyday. If my experience can relate somehow to a fellow fish keeper, then that is a chance to learn patience.
Don't be critical...we have all been there.

^Yes...I'm not talking about saying that you're an Expert. Just when would you say that you've had experience with a fish? Just because someone has had a certain fish for a few weeks wouldn't really count as experience compared to someone who's had it for 5 years.
Ben,
"Keep it simple and don't over think things." LOL. J/K.
Experience is like age, it's all relative. you keep gathering it until you die. when are you "old"?
I'm inexperienced. Any hobby with living things is pretty endless. We progress by starting over, again and again, in new ventures and even with individual fish and setups.
I just want to enjoy doing the best that I can, with what I can have.
"It's what you learn after you know it all that counts!" hahaha.

I think experience comes when you see that baby 2" RTC for sale for only $15.00 and you don't buy it cause you know the monster size it will become in a short time.
I agree it's all relative since the behaviours of most fish are different. This is especially true for bigger fish where their personalities and aggression can vary with age and the individual fish itself so they can always surprise you. Do experience is knowing you really don't know how an individual fish will react but you can always make better and better guesses at how you think it will
