What's the deal w/ Troph's

[Zulaab]

Ok, but why the eletism? Why the "troph mafia"? And then there's trophicide?
We need ANSWERS!:lupe:

Anyone can be a troph owner, but like CF said.. it takes prep work and an understanding of what it takes to keep them. Asking questions is one of the big things you have to deal with. This is something some are not willing to commit to.

Trophicide... There are several explainations. One is size of tank with number of fish on hand. You have to have the right ratio's or else you are asking for trouble. You have to replace water in the tank on a regular basis or else there will be to much TDS in the tank. You have to have excellent filtration because these fish require it.

Nick you more than anyone else I know should understand, once you change your direction in your life, changing it back would be difficult. Some have just not seen anything else in their eyes and would not want to change.

Ok, so you are equating troph ownership with sexual orientation/identity. WOW!
But instead of having troph rights groups, troph pride day, and a march for trophs, we have eletism, mafia, etc.
hmmmm, it is a conspiracy....

LOL Nick -- I am not going to move into that area.. that would disrespect you completely and I am not willing to disrespect you.

Ask Geoff.. has he owned anything but Trophs in the last 10 yrs ? He has been hooked line and sinker... You will not see him ever move to anything else. He has seen the Troph light and is not willing to change. This is what I meant... :) :) :) :) :) :) and you cannot make me change my mind

[luxtralarge]

I agreed with geoff, i started out my first 10 gal fish tank 1.5 yrs ago. I just got rid of my couch for another troph tank and now i have 210 gal, 110, 100, 75, and 3x 10gal. So becareful with your funiture if you're into troph :)

My wife said they were like a busy apartment complex, somebody is always moving around. She is more partial to my frontosa because the are so graceful. Ive only kept trophs and petros for a couple of months, but what got me hooked was their ability to interact with us. They are like a puppy dog, everytime you walk into the room they are there to greet you. It really amazing to see a colony of fish come to one corner of the tank saying FEED ME, FEED ME NOW. Ive kept alot of different fish, these are ones that are staying.

I only have chipimbi reds.....and yeah their cool......I just cant say I dislike any fish....they are all special in their own way....but my fav are still central american cichlids.....followed closely by a close tie of tanganyika and south americans.....

[Nickintex]

I guess I'll stick to my climbing perch and plecos.

So I'm less of a man because I don't have a colony of trophs? :furious:

[myjohnson]

we should come up with a "donate a tropheus" to NICK program.
