but the same holds true for sure. I frequent and even moderated a forum
just like this for discus and that’s where the best info comes from the kindest people. People who are here to help those succeed and give good info. Not troll...

sure there will be debates and corrections but in a respectful manner.
LOL. I got divorced and kept my guns, sports cars, reptiles, and dogs! She got a lot of $$$$ though. .

Oh well, good for you! Partners are supposed to support your passions (within reason) and not inhibit you. I am learning that now with my Fiancé Katie.

In any event, I do not have FB, but there are trolls everywhere. I can only imagine how bad on FB. This site is very good and there are many people who have both your well being and your animal(s) well being in mind at all times.

I used to breed Frontosa in a 240G aquarium. Spent lot of time on cichlid-forum.com, and found it to be a good site.

When I was sick from renal failure, and after I had my kidney transplant, I had to choose reptiles or fish. Only so much energy, time, etc. The fish were just too much work with little margin for error. If I had a bad day, and couldn't do a 2 hr water change, no good. If a snake poops and I have to pick up the next day, not ideal, but not the end of the world either. I also enjoy the interaction with my reptiles.

Anyway, I digressed.

Enjoy the forum and best of luck with your new life!
