Nothing i said makes me correct. Only that i dont care much for care sheets and pointed out allot of discrepancies with the seriously fish links. I bet other more experinced members can find allot more. I think ive been keeping polys for 5 yrs maybe and am far from an expert. Incorrect size is one thing but a good portion of everything else at the least is not accurate.You know jaws7777, I have kept clown loaches for 7 years,you have kept polys for what...4 years? Both of us are arguing that the fish we keep cant exceed some stated size by someone else....We're some professionals,lol
How the heck do we know any of it for sure unless we have kept either species for their full life span in the best possible conditions? Both species can live quite long..
For the lack of sufficient experience of our own, we just choose to believe someone else, be it a person or a scientific paper. Taking a side does not make it the true side. Only time will tell.
When it comes to the accounts of majority of people that have kept p.senegalus or clown loaches,it is clear that either species rarely if ever exceeds 12 inches.
So in essence, you are singing the same song I am,but none of us is a singer..
You know,I promise myself not to take it too harshly when my clown loaches grow into big 16-17 inch monsters... I am going to have to hide after arguing the opposite for years...
"How the heck do we know any of it for sure unless we have kept either species for their full life span in the best possible conditions? Both species can live quite long"
my exact point on why i trust other members (not all) over a random care sheet.
This thread wasnt started to prove right vs wrong but to end the derail on the dat thread.
