just wanted to say that the krib was the first non-livebearer fish i ever
bred.  well, actually i didn't breed them, they just bred by themselves. 
they were very easy and non-demanding (except that they kept everybody
else jammed in one corner of the tank) and the fry were raised inthe same
tank as the parents, until they grew big and the parents kept chasing
them away and i had to remove the parents to another tank so that they
could start anohter batch.  but the parental care was just wonderful to
watch.

i do agree with william vannerson though.  there are many (maybe not all)
breeders who are only interested in getting points and don't really care
for the fish, and once they breed the fish, tehy dump them.  there is
nothing wrong with keeping an old friend for a long time, i really don't
see why the rush to keep and breed every single species. i love many
groups of fish (rainbows, livebearers, catfish, labyrinth, tetras,
apistos etc.) but i recognize my limitations and don't try to keep
everything i want to.

this is not an attack on anyone, just some reflections.
