Re: whats the average kept -- in the past



As secretary of the AKA i sent an annual q uestionnaire in 1993 to the 
membership (snail mail in those days). Only 58 responded!, but here are the 
results re: # of species being maintained:
                        0 - 5     26%
                        6 - 10   34%
                       11 - 15   12%
                       16 - 20   12%
                       Several members maintained huge # of species; 42, 65 
and 88!

I also asked how many species were maintained more than 3 years and found 
that 60% of responders had maintained from 1 - 5 species more than 3 years. 

The number of species is not really that important. Successful breeding and 
disseminating of species of killies should be our goal. Good killie keeping.
