Johannes Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I know that most of the l236 plecos are hybrids and the true ones are very rare 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd Duck Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 (edited) Survey was interesting. Had questions I didn’t expect and no personal information is requested so don’t let that hold you back. Edit to add the survey was also quick and easy. Edited August 24, 2021 by Odd Duck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRSMP Posted September 6, 2021 Author Share Posted September 6, 2021 Hi Everyone, A big thank you to all who have completed the survey so far! We are half-way to the minimum required number of respondents, so please if you haven’t yet responded please take a short moment to do so. We are looking for a wide range of experience, so if you keep fish, please take some time to fill out any question you can. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSekib6KJMiaNgtOAXUH_rvUv3obYGOFaUbUvGqzuWcd3u6r7w/viewform?usp=sf_link This is an external study being allowed by the forum but not sponsored or supported by the forum itself. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRSMP Posted October 21, 2021 Author Share Posted October 21, 2021 Hi Everyone, We are about half way through the time period of this study to be active. Good news is we are on track for this study to be the largest survey of fish hobbyists in the scientific literature (to my knowledge). So please, if you haven't already take 5 minutes to fill out the survey and help improve our understanding of the hobby! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSekib6KJMiaNgtOAXUH_rvUv3obYGOFaUbUvGqzuWcd3u6r7w/viewform?usp=sf_link This is an external study being allowed by the forum but not sponsored or supported by the forum itself. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRSMP Posted December 10, 2021 Author Share Posted December 10, 2021 Hi Everyone,We are still looking for a number of responses to make this study statistically valid. We have just over 1 month left of the survey being live, so please if you haven't done so already consider taking 5 minutes to fill out the form.https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSekib6KJMiaNgtOAXUH_rvUv3obYGOFaUbUvGqzuWcd3u6r7w/viewform?usp=sf_linkThanks in Advance!This is an external study being allowed by the forum but not sponsored or supported by the forum itself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streetwise Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 This survey is interesting, and worth the short time it takes. The OP has been very informative. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalmedByFish Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Just did it. Confirming that it's easy, interesting, and pretty quick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobbit Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Come on, everyone! You know you all want to read this paper when it comes out and we won’t get to do that if they don’t get enough responses! The paper will be about breeding fish, but if you’ve never bred fish, you should still fill out the survey! As the OP said, Quote If you have never bred fish, please also fill out this form, as all submissions will be helpful to the analysis. Also bonus if you’ve never bred fish—the survey will take even less time. 😉 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 (edited) I did it when it first came out. It’s very quick and easy. Pretty please could everyone help out I really want to read it as well. 😁 Edited December 15, 2021 by Guppysnail 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRSMP Posted January 7, 2022 Author Share Posted January 7, 2022 Just wanting to keep this thread afloat a little. Thank you everyone for the great support! Approximately 2% of the forum members have filled out the survey (which is a typical response rate of social media surveys) However there is always room for more responses! The survey closes at the end of January so if you haven't already please consider taking 5 minutes to fill out the form. :) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streetwise Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 If this survey was spam, you would have never heard of it. The OP has been clear with the intention. Let’s add some valuable data before the deadline. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancing Matt Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Just filled out the survey after passing over this several times. It was quick and helped me to evaluate my own fish keeping journey along with my future intentions. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd Duck Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Strongly encourage anybody that’s ever bred fish, whether purposely or accidentally, to take the survey. It’s quick, interesting, and made me rethink some of the things I’ve done in the past with my fish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatFish Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I hope your survey gets enough views! I am very excited to read the results. I've never bred fish before (either on accident or on purpose) so I do not think I'd be much help here, but I'm definitely going to share this forum post with some IRL friends of mine who have! Best of luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbit Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 @DRSMP correct me if I’m wrong, but I think they actually want people who haven’t bred fish to take the survey as well! It will be a very short survey for you, but it’s still helpful data to know how many fishkeepers haven’t bred fish. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you're right, Even if it is just a "No" in the fish breeding column and then anything you may want to add eg the vet question and you're done! 🙂 On 1/16/2022 at 5:51 AM, Swampbones said: I hope your survey gets enough views!

Best of luck! Every response is valuable and having people who don't breed take it gets me a good sample size from the whole hobby so please don't let the title put you off taking it, I need a good representative sample from the whole hobby. I want to see how prevalent it is so if just people who breed fish take it, my estimate of how many fish are being produce by hobbyists is skewed because my samples are taken from just breeders. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
