I like growing most of my fish out, you can really gain a sense of acomplishment that way.
But like other people said if I can find a big fish that take forever to grow, and I have the money I'll get those sometimes as well. Or if I can find a good deal on a fish.
I would prefer to get them small, but it depends on its tankmates. I'm in a real problem with the giraffe, he's territorial now, so do i buy something bigger that when he attacks could kill him, or something smaller that he'll kill????
i always like to grow my fish out.....i just like seeing the changes they go through.......but like a lot of people said.....if i'm given a good deal then i won't pass it up..........
i would rather see them grow, if i dont i wont be attached to them as much as would be if i didnt see them grow. all the fish going into my 55 gallon will be babies, even the plecos because i want to watch them grow.
I would rather grow out my own monsters butas previously stated if i get a good deal on a fish thats an adult i cant resist. Or a fish that grows really slow.
I love to watch them grow. But there are just times when you can't pass the monster. Been looking at one in a fish shop in Wyoming. If I only had the tank space. This will soon not be a problem. Hope the monster is still there.
