Wilkinson is an arofanatic.

In singapore or rather asia there are more arofanatics than anywhere else in the world.

An arofanatic would give it's aro first priority.

A WISE fish keeper would research, study before purchasing it.
NOT buy it first, bring it home and tries to see if it would be a good tank mate.

Atleast i have a private farm to house my monster fishes.

There is a saying in Asia, not sure if you guys have it too. Direct translation goes something like this ~~" DO NOT TEACH YOUR OLD MAN HOW TO ----!"

Yes it may sound abit harsh, sorry, but i do not take crap from a noob who buys MBU with NO prior knowledge about it
and bring it home to "see" if it could be a GOOD tank mate for it's aro.

I have the means and ability to care for my fishes. I have the SPACE to offer them.


P.S Anyways i will be moving "puffy" a larger enclosure.

LOL I never claimed to be wise or anything of the sort and yes i bought a mbu and i had no clue it would get that big and i believed the LFS guy probably because i wanted to believe it.
And im definatly not trying to tell an old man how to ---- but then again do old man even ---- can they even remember how its done.

What would make you think i dont have the means or the abillity to take care of my fishes ??? A bit presumptuous of you :)
It seems like you did not get the point of my post, If i decide to keep that mbu it will have the proper housing if not he will go back to the store where he came from and then he will probably end up with the equivalent of you here in canada and end confined to a life in a 187g tank :( while its new owner who is "experienced" thinks thats a good life for is fish.

Unlike you I am trying to understand and do whats good for my Mbu.

So I wont tell "a old man how to "----" but i will tell him not to forget is pills

Enjoy the rest of the year

Cheers

Let's just put this this way, the MBUs are better off in the care of our hands and homes than the LFS.
You should know what they feed them and how they are housed.

Happy new year!

The point of the last statement is that if people buy them from the LFS then the LFS will make a profit and replace them again again and again. This statement come from a person who's other half's family has owned a LFS for the last 45 years. They now refuse to stock any fish which can not for most hobbyist be house properly. Unfortunately most other LFS don't feel this way, profit is profit no matter. So the 12 MBU fry's that you bought will now just be replace by other MBU's.

Excellent post.
It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.
