Where are all the hobbist?
Recently i realised that there are lesser hobbyists coming here to update their fish, tank etc or dicussion.... Last time there use to have few new posting everyday but now seems like about 3 day then 1 new posting.. Is it because less people keeping fish as hobby or because the market is bad?

I think on the whole the fish industry is on the decline. Probably less excitement compared to last time.

I think prices have been depressed and for livestock seemed to have decreased overall. Probably due to large supply and low demand.

it's true a lot less ppl are into fish keeping these days, plus a large number of those who do, spend more time on facebook groups i guess? i spend a lot more time on fb groups now than forums because 1.) there's tens, hundreds of groups u can be in and follow easily 2.) very easy to share pics/vids, buy sell or chat because there's so many active ppl.
downside is there's hardly anyone moderating such groups so discussion aint as good, most of the time u have to sift through a lot of meaningless ones to find a good thread worth participating in, and buy/sell u meet a lot of fake bidders and aeroplanes. |

I personally do not think that money is an issue with keeping pet. Last time in my primary school days every 2 days save $0.30-50 can buy tubifex worm to feed fish with a daily pocket money of $0.70.
Now grown up don't eat at restaurant(avg bill $50) eat at coffeeshop can save about $30+ this is alot of money(flakes/pellets) to feed a 4ft community tank for months. Therefore imo $ is not a big factor if you really care for a hobby/pet. It's the attitude & passion towards the hobby. |

Do instalment plan for my fish ... Ppl say I desperate Let ppl adopt unwanted fish ... Forum doesn't allow How to get more participation in fish keeping ,I also loss of idea... Maybe only 2 ways I can think of is :- 1) Give away free fish .. 2) Get the richest man in the world to buy majority of the fish Lor...so supply shortage demand go up Sigh ...fish keeping hobby really going down hill.
