RE: Elitist

I thought there was a difference between rare/difficult fish and species
maintenance?  Can anyone address this?

I am a little bothered by this thread - the segregation of elitist from
beginner and an apparant perception 'old-timers' are discouraging new
killie-keepers.

I think there are a couple of important points to consider.

First - and I think foremost - it seems that many people want the fish they
claim as "Rare" as if the fish is common enough to simply pass around.
Somewhere in all of this we need to understand RARE = PRACTICALLY NO FISH
EXIST  in the hobby.  When I see people seemingly thinking they are being
denied fish, they don't seem to understand there may only be 3-4 pairs in
the hobby.  I think in many cases the word RARE needs to be replaced with
the term CHALLENGING for fish that are more difficult that the traditional
Newbie offerings and maybe some of those fish - while not common, may well
become available.
