Thread: Just thought I would share....

i can not tell what the one on the right is. But the one on the left loosk lke a lion fish or w.e. its called. They r sweet looking lol

ohhhh i wanna see a pic of it all puffed up!!! right now lol

Is that first pic one of those 3D things you have to stare at with your eyes crooked to see the image.

That fish in the second pic looks awesome though!

lol dont puffer fish have those little chipmunk teeth? I miss my fishtank...

it really looks as tho you have your tank working well, your fish look very healthy.

i had 5 tanks set up all at once years back, and it was a lot of work, all fresh water, 125, 30, 55,35 and 10, for the step kids little fish lol

in my 125 i had angels that i bought when they were the size of a nickel, when i got rid of everything, their body's were 5 inches round, and the fins were 18 inches inches top to bottom, thats some big ass angel fish! granted they were almost 10 years old too.

salt water is a sh!t load of work, keep it up, i miss the peacefulness of the tank for sure.

We had angel fish that had such large fins they dragged on the bottom the tank if they were swimming low enough. Probably right around 19 -20 inches from fin tip to fin tip. Nice job on the fish though! I know its hard work but its def worth it all.

i hear ya, salt cost a lot more than fresh water, hell just start up costs are killer.

my brother took a run at salt water a few years back, he had a 150 tall tank, had some cool looking shrimp and stuff i cant pronounce or spell, at one point he had 2500 in fish alone, over 5 years time. a bunch killed each other, and he sold it all. he'd just had it, it cost to much.

i had a red tail cat for a bout a year, it was eating me out of house and home, 4 inches long when i got him a year later he had out grown the 55 gal tank, i think he was 16 or 18 inches long and had trouble tuning around in a 12 wide tank. i paid 60 for it, and sold it for 300, but i put more than that in feeders into him, but he'd eat hot dogs, steak, veggies, even shrimp pellets and large krill, and you could pet him lol

i sold it to a restaurant that had a huge tank in the dinning room, and i heard it lived another 5 years there.

Sushi!

No, just kidding. I love aquariums. When I had one, I remember sitting in front of the T.V. but watching the aquarium instead. That was until the aquarium shattered at 3:00A.M. 30 gallons of water in the livingroom is sizeable.

funny i would see this thread..i actually just got done cleaning a couple of tanks. One with a couple of oscars and the other with a couple of angel fish and guaramis(sp?)

i had 2 tanks leak all over the place, the air pump died and i didn't have a the one way valve on the line, 50 gallons of water soaked into the carpet on a second floor apt, where the landlord lived down stairs, the whole place stunk like a pond.

then a 30 gallon tank just cracked in the corner, and lost 20 or so gallons, pond stink again, my house this time.

I have a 25,000 gallon pond I built at my moms (way too much time into that and dug by hand). Had all sorts of expensive Koi in it. Damn endangered species Blue Heron came and ate them all. Bastard.

the contents of my brothers pond he hand dug, its about 500 to 1000 gallons i guess at best

the contents during a clean out,



empty pond, his koi started to bread so in the top right corner he built a small pond to scoop up the fry, to grow up in and then he brought them indoors for the winter.
