Re: Age in the killie hobby
We do exist (I am somewhere int he transition between the genX and baby
boomer crowd) . All that follows is true, and not meant as a retort,
flame, or anything more than an introduction of a youngish killie
breeder...
I am under 40. Former editor of the Honolulu Aquarium Society's
newsletter, web master, and research collaborator (fish things at
UH-Manoa). I keep Procatopus nototaenia, P. similis, various
Rivulus, Aphyosemion, and Epiplatys. I also working out the kinks in
rotifer/moina culture for replacement of artemia. Unfortunatly, unlike the
oldtimers I am working full time, (odd rotating shifts, overtime) and can
go weeks between actually getting to do more than feed my fish. I am sort
of renting my own home from my wife's family, want to farm part time, and
heavens help us someday start a family. What started my facination with
killies was a little green book, with color photos of fish I would have
never seen in my small home town (Actually remember being facinated by the
Golden Pheasant, A occidentalis and wanted to try and keep them, not
knowing their reputation for being feisty). I do consider myself somewhat
of an eccentric. So, do i meet all criteria to be a "serious
killies-keeper"? I would like to help out in the AKA, but I don't think I
can offer much because of my geographical isolation from the majority of
the membership.
MTF who will be 31 in October
