Of course nobody has thought it appropriate to congratulate me for actually being able to raise a koi from about six inches to 18 inches.
No. Because you're all dilettantes.
Well, hell, let me be the first......congratulations on raising an 18 incher and not allowing it to be starched, stretched, electrocuted, or become a stiff hard curled up vestige of itself on the concrete. Keep up the good work.

Is that why you didn't make congratulatory comments to me about my raising a 70 lb. lab from a small puppy.
If this forum had a like button, you would probably have gotten a like or two, past clicking a like button, I didn’t care for fish pets.
I reserve my pet comment time for more interesting pets and animals.

I'm not sure whether it's a compliment or an insult to be a koi dilettante. I will say I've never run into anyone fishing ( ) for praise for their koi husbandry. Seems a little desperate to me.

Bullshit. I can beat that. I've raised frogs from slimy round little eggs into legless lemmings that eventually became frogs. Well, some of them did. I've also raised butterflies from two inch fibrous enclosures to caterpiller to graceful butterfly. And I never asked for accolades but instead seek obscurity in it. I've also created a new person that is now 38 years old just from my own bodily fluid and a willing accomplice. Dilettante my ass.

Hmmmpf.
I haven't mentioned the other koi yet. Even bigger. More than 20 inches.
Nor have I mentione the reason for the electric wire around the koi pond. Something about marauding predators that wiped out five other small koi while I was at work about 17 years ago. No, I don't think you want to know all that, because it could involve you having to apologize for all the false accusations and insults. And of course we can't have that.

I used to be all about raising fish, albeit the fish tank variety. I had these little aquatic frogs called African dwarf frogs. They lived entirely under water, surfacing for air when needed. Also had some aquatic snails that multiplied into a snail plague in the span of a year. The tank was covered in snails.

I had a 100 gallon tropical fish tank for a few years, it was gorgeous and mesmerizing. A real pain to keep clean and in balance (and expensive). Eventually converted it to fresh water but it's not nearly as pretty and colorful.

Ever seen a spade-foot toad?
I have not
They may be limited to California and the West.
They live in little burrows they dig with the help of little horns (spades) on their back feet. I was assigned by my fellow naturalists (one of whom became a well known professor of zoology) in high school to care for a spade foot toad. It lasted about a year, but eventually one of the mealworms I was told to feed it apparently caused a stomach rupture (shut up Neo!) and it expired. Interesting animal. After that I realized I probably should have crushed the mealworm's head and jaws before feeding it to the toad. Nobody told me to do that. In fact people were suprised at the demise of the toad. It did have an interesting croak. (Shut up Neo). I'd sprinkle water on the dirt above its burrow in the terrarium, and it would croak in response, and often surface to be fed. LOL. RIP little spade foot toad.
PS-It was a legal toad, procured with a collecting permit...
Damn skippy. I've already found him guilty and imposed a thirty fish slap sentence in a prior incident. We may run out of fish.
Good thing that we have context to refer to here.
