Why Is It So Dead In Here?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
ya, thought I might wretch out a giggle from someone, but not a real side-splitter lol why was it so funny to you?


same here. I do the exact same thing.....raise 'em up to be big and strong, and a LFS gives me good $$$ for them. He loooooooves when I bring him fish lololol
damn I need to haul my fish up your way...my lfs's in the burgh are afraid of big fish.
 
A lot of people say unwelcoming stuff when they ask for info, this can turn off new hobbyist, but I don't know why so many old timers like knifegill and a lot of others seem to have vanished, most of the pro fish keepers I meet r over 40 maybe this is a hobby on decline.

People get unwelcoming answers because
A. the question is posted 12x a day with the same answers
B. the OP doesn't want to accept the answers that they don't want to hear

The lounge died as did mfk when people couldn't stop asking stupid questions like "how many cichlids in a 125". "Can I keep an arowana with my cichlids in a 125". "Do I have to do water changes if I run an eheim 2213 on my 125 cichlid and aro tank". "Can someone help me stock my__gallon tank"

this. 1000x this.
 
if i'm craving tacos, how does going out for a burger help my taco craving?
I don't understand the relevance to the post you replied to, at least not completely, but I like it.

Also burgers > Tacos because 'Murica.
 
what are you trying to get rid of?




EDIT : Stupid website posted my reply before it even quoted the damn post I was replying to. I had to go back and re-edit and copy/paste it. Slow laggy nonsense
right now I'm considering selling my odoe pike, but the fact that hes pushing 8-9 inches scares the lfs here, plus i dont want the fish to go to just anyone. possibly my koliba and ornate polys are on the table as well.

if you're willing to take the drive I might be able to help you out. Best I can do is e-mail him pictures of them and tell him what price you're asking for them. He probably will want wholesale prices so he can make money off them, but for me it was never really about profits, it was just to relocate them to a good home, get back what I paid into the hobby and make a little something to put towards food and supplies for my remaining collection. Most of the time, I'll need supplies he has in his shop, so I just propose an even trade X for Y and whatnot and I make out better than for cash.
 
The way I see it, not everyone is going have the same level of fish keeping experience so no question is really stupid. If you don't like a certain question just move on to the next thread or just ignore the person lol

he asked along the lines of "why don't i go out and talk fish on other areas?"

but the point of the thread was about the lounge. so thus my analogy was, why would i go talk fish when i was wondering why the lounge is so dead?
