LionFu411, Its not just you for that happens to always been an issue at most all through the years for many people will only turn to you if you shown that you have certain well known knowledge but still they like to hear what they want would be OK and nothing more for all they ever really need is just anyone here or elsewhere to tell them that it sounds great and that be all she wrote for I seen this time and time again and only because it seems to those that it works for a long enough time that they think to believe that they can make it work all the time.
For I seen many who did small tanks with gosh, loads and loads of fish and their tanks are still young yet in setup and they believe they can do what no others had done, maintain an over stocked aquarium. For I seen this a number of times at -- and it be funny on that no one ever hears from those people again about how successful they seem to been.
For so many like these had came to me on my thoughts to what they wanted to do and they always at most say that this other person said it be fine and all for yes, the majority of these people will do it just the same for at most they only see this 4" fish, not thinking what it will be two years from now. Two years in a fishes life is very short term indeed and it be a shame that the country state senators not wish to do anything of this, in which is becoming a more alarming problem each year that rolls bye.
For as well there be too many who buy the same fish in a year time frame for where I once lived before I got my house, people at the other apartments there at night could see my aquarium lights and one person there then had a 55 gal tank and he too thought that he does rather well over all. However I had asked him on what be the longest he kept any one fish and he said about 4.5 months and I told him to only think he was so successful if he ever managed to keep the fish for 4.5 years for they do live longer then that I told him.
People want you to give them i think a pat on the back for doing something good for a short period, for I not as yet seen all to many who kept a fish for 12 to 15 years if not longer, even many in this with eels as well, for so many in -- have eels and they are make themselves sound as if they knew what they be talking about and this goes for Bob fenner as well for people had been putting the man on a pedestal for some years now. I had meet the man some years ago and I think I made one mistake in telling him that I had eels all my life and wanted to compare notes to his knowledge to my own on any number of species.
Every time I said anything he made excuses to get away, not once he spoke fish with me for I drove all the way out there believing that I was in for one the most interesting conversations of my life and what a big let down it was. For if the man be so knowledgeable, then why didn't he even say something or was it he something to hide. Like he not know all of what he makes it appear that he knows in his site and books, for I said this, that anyone can be on the other end of that keyboard as well we no idea if it be his words even in his book(s).
So believe in what you all want, I meet the man and not believe he knows anything least of all I heard he never own an aquarium himself. As I said in another forum site, if I not meet up with the man, I wouldn't know what he really knows, but I did meet up with him and I not believe he be so knowing in what be on his site as well as in his books. Do think what you want, you still think the man knows what his talking about, then fine. You go thinking he knows his stuff for do however think in why he wouldn't talk about eels with me for anyone who is supposed to be so well known background with any species that those two people should be ready for one hell of a conversation.
