Well I started a thread on Friday about breeding fish only 18 posts and 5 of those were mine.
This must be what is the biggest difference between the Aquarists of today and 30 years ago. 30 years ago on a site like this ( If there was one ) everyone would have been breeding fish. That is what most people kept fish for was to breed them and have the joy of watching a tank full of baby Lemon Tetras swimming around or the interaction between the parents and young of a Cichlid family.
Forget the equipment and the advancements in care. This is where the biggest shift has happened everyone is just happy with there tanks and going down to the LFS to replenish them. It seems to me that the local community of fish keepers has gone and been replaced by the nett.
I now wonder how many of you regularly communicate with other fish keepers in your area or do you do all of your communication here on TFF.
