i was saying, it looks a small tank, not that it was, it could be the picture, or the tank dimensions, but i said it LOOKED small, not was small. its clear now that to you atleast, its a good size, i admit i dont know much about water cows, but i was stating my opinion, i was only saying. still even though it doesnt need much room, doesnt mean you shouldnt give it much room, it would have lots of room in the wild, so why a lot less in capitivity. still, as i said, im not an expert on water cows, and are only saying what i see and think, like everyone does on this public forum.as you say, your water cow is very happy and responed to people, then its obovously well suited to that tank. and i wasnt saying it was a crap fish geo, just not my favourite, im sure its not many peoples favourite fish, doesnt meas we cant comment. i was trying to say, it may not be on my fish list, but its the fish owners choice which fish to keep, juct like many people wouldnt like some fish i keep, but im not bothered about them commenting and saying what they think.
and culling, none of my fish ive bred are culled, why breed if you cant look after your fry? more fry, more money atleast, but thats not the reason why i do it, i dont see the point in killing healthy fry becoase theirs too many, we dont kill humans, but their is too many of them. you should be prepeared to look after all fry, of course, culling unhealthy fry which could effect the others, or will simple die slowely, then thats reasonable, but healthy fry, why bother. when i breed my fish, keep all healthy fry, and give them proper care. all often grow to adult size, are healthy and are good enought to sell or give away to friends.
im a serious breeder, who plans breeding them, and doesnt cull any.not all breeders cull unwanted fry, some keep them all. ans yes, i may not have 200 hundred fry, but i think 160 is a good enought number, if i can look after them all, surely you can.
i wasnt meaning to offend anyone, but i think im allowed to express my thoughts on this matter, just like you are. we may have different opinions, but doesnt mean mine is wrong.
