Oxquo Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 I was just wondering if there was any interest in a killi section. I think killi's are a diverse enough and popular enough species that they deserve their own notariety. Someone here must love killies aside from Me. Anyone???

Qattarra Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 (edited) I have 1, he was given to me. He's a Flagfish, and on NLS, his colors are amazing. :thumbs: I would like to learn about these fishes though and see pics from local keepers.

Tanker Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 I say: "Let the Killi-Fans be heard"... Post here if you support the idea of a Killi section, and let's see what the response is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ichthyosporidium Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 I sure love my Killies.....but I think that the subject is a little exclusive so might I propose a livebearing/egg laying toothcarp section :eh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just glad to hear it, figurin' there might just have to be a linch'in on main street. As a conservative just speak your mind and say it straight. None of them there fancy names.

jvision Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 I'd say a killi/livebearer section would be better - or give it a forum w. 2 subforums: killis & livebearers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunl Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Before we keep requesting new forums on here...how many forums do members eventually want to see on Alberta Aquatica? How specialized are people expecting the forum to get? Just something for all to think about - what is YOUR idea on how specialized the forum should eventually become?

Qattarra Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 I think it's all covered under general aquaria, put your title in and those with interest will respond. Those of us who are just learning this stuff have the oppertunity to read and learn from those of you in the know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 (edited) I dunno... I'm not opposed to more subforums. It makes research a lot easier, that's for sure. Of course, it might make for more work for Chris - if he and/or Jay think things are fine the way they are, then they're fine the way they are! :thumbs: Edited September 28, 2006 by jvision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxquo Posted September 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Before we keep requesting new forums on here...how many forums do members eventually want to see on Alberta Aquatica? How specialized are people expecting the forum to get?Just something for all to think about - what is YOUR idea on how specialized the forum should eventually become? killi / livebearers would be good. As for specialized, Killi's are diverse and their cuteness often causes impulse buys much like bettas, they are also one of the most miskept species around, talking to Bill Bishopp for an hour about his travels finding killies in the wild is too intense to discuss and the surroundings we give them is nothing like they have in the wild. People keep trios of killies in half gallon bowls, few people know that they make great community tank fish for planted tanks and I can't even count the amount of people who buy them at auctions only to have the species deplete in their tanks with a lack of knowledge on how to spawn them. To sum it up, The demand for a forum is only found by asking what the demand on the fish is and the thirst for knowledge about the fish is. Why not just group African cichlids and SA cichlids together? because they very immensely and people would have to search the World for answers. Of course there are other forums specialising in killies and cichlids for that matter, does that mean we want everyone to go find specimen sites? What would that leave this site? Just throwin stuff out there, s'all... I dunno... I'm not opposed to more subforums. It makes research a lot easier, that's for sure. Of course, it might make for more work for Chris - if he and/or Jay think things are fine the way they are, then they're fine the way they are! :thumbs: Things are cool the way they are, no doubt but check out the killi forums on sites like petfish.net it's very heavily used, the betta forum might be the heaviest but it still shows the demand for killi knowledge. Maybe Americans are just more into killies though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ichthyosporidium Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 I would like to see this site be as comprehensive as possible on the subject that it is devoted to as long as it's subjectives are actually used and/or needed by the general population that uses this site. I one day hope that this site is one of the top three to pop up when anyone googles, dogpiles, web ferrets, or whatever search engine that you use, will churn out this site's name. :thumbs: AA is an awesome tool for this hobby. The debates are civil on the most part and there are an unusually high number of truly gifted people on this site for accurate information. So, if another forum truly shows a higher level of comprehension, then I say "Why not?". :eh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toirtis Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 I love my killies, but am doubtful that there is enough potential killie activity at this time to support a seperate forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
