You make good points that I almost 100% agree with. Maybe it's just a difference of opinion on pretty high level that I accept that you have to take the bad with the good in this hobby. That doesn't mean you have to like what goes on. -I- don't like the mass cullings of any living creature unless it's going to be used to the fullest. -I- don't think comets are any less of a living fish than some cichlid or oscar, but fish eat fish! We can try to educate people and bring up the standards at least within our social groups.

Thats why I like MFK. :) I learn more all the time on here and I think it and sites like it bring a lot of great info to people, but they have to want that. Sadly most people won't or don't care.

Agreed. I see where you are coming from and am really grateful for having a place like MFK that we can exchange our thoughts and opinions. I know my wife appreciates not having to listen to some of my rants. Thanks for being open-minded. There has been a lack of that lately.

Likewise. :) I just noticed you are in Georgia.. which unless you are an import that means we are practically brothers! lol.. I moved here for a girl 15 years ago and married her with two kids now. I was born and raised in Stone Mountain and that's probably why we mostly see things the same way. I just hate whiners.. lol. My philosophy is do something, or dont.. have some conviction in your beliefs or just don't complain about it. hehehehe :ROFL:

Wow small world. My family pass to Stone Mountain actually just ran out. I'm here in Fort Gordon with my wife and 3 kids. In about a month or so I'll be moving to the wonderful state of Illinois. After 12 years its time for a career change. I feel the same about whining that's part of the reason for the career change.

If I wasn't so sure that chain stores would refuse the idea, I'd suggest placing a realistic picture of the fish next to the tank. For instance, a 16" picture of an adult oscar next to the 1" oscar with like some cute bubble letters that say,"I'm this big full grown!"

I figure its the same as the sign my lfs puts up on the cichlid tanks that say,"I can't live in a fish bowl."

I wonder if they would post an 8 ft picture of a koi by the koi tank/pond....
