Any one else out there with fish?


Just a pic of my 5 year old pride and joy. Had to do a revamp of his tank; getting him out was not fun.

One of the above's tank mates; 2 year old female bristlenose pleco with "stabbers" exposed. THEY HURT.

Awesome fish, Kyle. I've kept smaller fish in the past-- bettas and asst small tropicals-- but right now just have one fancy goldfish named Jeffy. He's just a baby, maybe a year old.

I've always wanted an oscar but have never had room for a big enough tank.

Yeah, I think if his tank was any bigger (55, all to himself and the plecos) I couldn't do the maintenance.

Cool fish Kyle. Oscars are fun fish. They are so friendly to people....I guess they know who feeds them. I have a 5 tanks set up. Mostly stuff you don't find in pet stores. Two crayfish 'rescued' from the fish monger....got 5 that were sitting on ice....two survived the thaw. One Brown Bullhead, my son found him in the mud of a seasonal pond. A Pumpkinseed, it's similar to a Bluegill. Plus a bunch of guppies...raising food. We have a few other assorted critters as well.

I think we are going to change things up a bit...we need more tanks for our snakes!

I used to have a yellow bullhead my dad caught... I kept him for a while; interesting fish. I had to remove an anchor worm from it once; fun stuff. lol

Pickerel in a large tank are a blast also

Have not had one in years, but they just look cool in glass...

Just have to keep a tank of fatheads to feed it...

I prefer my pikes wild.

A pickerel would be cool. A little freshwater barracuda! I can't imaging you hand fed that guy.

Back in college, some guys had their Oscars and Piranhas...everyone liked watching them destroy goldfish, but my Bluegill and Largemouths were the champion eaters.

Never tried bass; Usually I grab a perch or two and stuff'em full of baitfish. lol

I have an oscar also! He is one year old as of last month... I got him when he was this big ---------------

and as of now he is 8 inches long! his names Racso..... can you guess why?!

two years ago, I caught a 14 inch Oscar while fishing..............

and right after that, I caught the hugest fantail goldfish I have ever seen. That thing must have weighed 4 or 5 pounds!!!

I do enjoy fishkeeping, I sold all my other chichlids besides rocso and my managuensis (sp?)... I also have a footlong common pleco and two channel cats, one is amel.

I am actually the person in charge of the fish care at my store. And I was just informed that the tanks are the cleanest in the company
