Stubborness is is strong in me too.

But on taming a Mangrove... It's really a hard task.

There are some rules you can go around. With others you're probably doomed to failure if you don't follow.

Just think about this:

If you're going to listen to anyone, listen to someone you know that has been sucessful. If the guy has a lot of mangroves, breeds them and tells you to grab yours 4 hours a day to tame it down, then do it.
But if you hear this advice from someone who has one or two monitors for a year or two... Well... This person doesn't know what he/she's talking about.

Cheers
