Tell us how and why did you got addicted to poly?

For me its the prehistoric look they have, i love how the finlets goes up especially when they swim.
I like how they are pretty chill like they i hawaii

What about you guys

Im not addicted, I can quit any time I want.

Can anyone say denial? lol

I agree the fact that they are prehistoric and the look they have also the fact they have external gills as fry and even at juvenile stage.

I remember when i first got my 75g, and i was thinking what fish im going to get, im not intrested in cichlids, i dont want any more catfish, aro grows to big, and i remember my uncles dragon fin. So i watch youtube during break and lunch time, told myself im going to buy 8 dragon fin, then the rest is history

I wouldn't say I'm addicted lol. Intrigued is a better word. The prehistoric look and ease of care. There just a fish you can have many of with few worries. I will say I do get the feeling of once I got one I wanted one of every species. Which is why it has kind of turned to an all or none thing with me.

My wife started it all. I was more into cichlids. She came home from running some errands and said she saw a fish that looked like a dinosaur amd wanted it which was odd since she could care less for our fish other than the pearsei. It ended up being a del. We were instantly hooked.

The prehistoric look did us in and like moe said you can keep them in groups with relative ease... a far cry from the craziness i experienced with cichlids.

I think I've had a similar experience to jaws. Although I'm a total newbie the complete lack of stocking BS and general peacefulness is what converted me. So much drama with cichlids lol

I don't get the whole poly thing with you guys, but I've also never had one either. Maybe one of these days I'll dwell into "the other dark side" to see if it'll do anything for me
