Well maybe some people, like me don't have the answers for you. Would you want a person with no experience in the fish list answer you just so you get an answer to your thread? I read your post, but declined to add anything because though i have been into SW for many yrs, i do not have much experience with the fish you listed, so i choose not to respond, rather then give you false info on keeping the fish you want. Nothing worse then someone giving an opinion when they don't have any idea whether its a good one. That is done to much on boards, know it alls giving improper info, I would rather just by pass a thread. And I would rather no one respond to my questions then someone giving false info. Of course we all have opinions and thats ok to give, as long as its stated as an opinion, not fact. I recently read a post where someone asked if they could keep a linka star or another star that needs a large tank, in their tank, Someone said sure you can i have 2 in mine
Thats an example of why people shouldn't answer a post if they have no idea what they are talking about

As far as you being upset you didn't get enough posts, been there done that. i have spent sometimes an hr posting some great photos and maybe get 2 responses, doesn't do much for my ego
or say much for my photography skills

I guess I just get a little sensitive sometimes
However, you would think that a board with "more than 2 million posts" you would get more of a response. MichealTX has added some good advice to the few others that I have received so that has helped. Just want to do it right...you know. Thanks

Yes i do know. So yeah, lots of posts, but you have to remember, alot of these posters are newbies just like you, looking for advice instead of giving it. Also, threads only stay around page 1 for a short time, and may be overlooked by a person who could really help you IF they see the thread. Some people, unlike me
have a life besides their tank and these boards
and do not get to read the boards as often as some of us (2nd home here
) I do admire the fact you are asking and not just jumping in head first like good old LAX did (just teasing with you LAX
)

Actually, and I'm not one to respond to threads like this, but I thought I smelled a troll in another of this original poster's other threads...could be wrong, but I don't think so...

i;ve been reading some of this guy's other threads and most of them end up in an entertaining arguement...
good luck wit ur fish tank.. LAX...but i do agree with some of these ppl here when they say you are not taking to their advise..if u have no attachment to fish ..y keep them at all....
