I want to know what kind of fishes all of you have?

this could be a good example of what to do an not to do with fish compatabilty. You coud be amazed of what you can feed your fish.

For example; i had had a 8-9inch'RTC before..... One day during spring in febuary last 3years ago, i went to buy five dozen large Bass minows came home to feed all my fishes in my tank. I had Comon shovelnose, moray eel peackok eel and others fishes in there. the next day my RTC had a real large stomach. So i decied to go out and buy 7dozen crappie minows at the baitstore (which are smaller than bass minows) becuase my rtc at most of them and only left 2-3 minow to my other fishes each. It was suppose to last a week. one1/2days later it eat the total of 12 dozen minows:WHOA: !

the THing ate and look like one Fat as a cow /black and white milk cow..., (imagine that what look like!?....sure looked beatiful though:hearts: ) with it's blood a red tail.(that is how you make an RTC tail blood red if yours is not..)After 5days it decided to cuff up 12dozen of then fishes because it was too much to handle it it left itself alo...ooot of stretch marks!:ROFL: i had to do water change imedeantly! (i called that rtC; The Milk Cow fish WITH Blood red tail....lol!) two months later it ate 4 of my 5-6inch convicts in 4 days:swear: it was suppose to be a grow out tank.

I have feed spam, hotdogs, live 7inch perch to my 15inch RTC before and my peckok i starve it so it end up eating gold fish it's own size!

I you got pictures or video please post them (i will post mine when i get my digital camera is working.)
 
i meant my peckok bass!
 
i have a 14 inch ray, 2 tiger shovel nose ( 14 inch ), a 15 inch arowana, 9 inch clown knife and a 14 inch marmoratus. they can wipe out 5 dozen feeder in less than a half hour, along with 2 dozen canadian nightcrawlers and a hand full of smelt and shrimp. its amazing really. i dont feed that everyday of course, it was one of my how much can you guys eat tests.

my 10" marbled pim takes out about 3 cocktail shrimp in one sitting. All the while still looking for more. I am going to see how much he can take on one day then just not feed him for the rest of the week.

I use to have a 22'' marbled pim that could eat 7 pieces of smelt, and two rays, and between the 3 of them, with out overfeeding I would go through abuout a pound of food every 3 or 4 days.
 
My Giraffe will eat anything and forever. Before i went on holiday i fed him a massive bag food. Muscles,prawns,welks,crab stick,cockles, and then i added a couple of lancefish too.

why would you do this?:(
 
I used to have a 16" Marble pim thatd eat close to 5-6 Smelt an be looking for more. Ive seen my 10" Endi eat enough Tilapia fillet thatd equal the size of my middle finger.
 
i know about what fish eat and how much. It just makes them grow extremely fast but also make them very agressive to other fishes. Hey even when i don't strave them, my fishes usaully go after the biggest fish that can fit in their mouths when the lights go out at night. like catfishes they don't like to use the energy unless they feel the real have too.(they just sit around doing nothing until fish that is worth killing and eating them is in range.)(a big fish has to be about close at the tip of it's nose inorder to swallow them down. which can be their own size if they are hungry enough)

Yes i do love my fishes than any symphty for them...
 
when i feed that 7-8inch perch to my 15inch RTC i showed my little brother he said it's not going to eat that big aS! thing... I said yeah uh i guess you haven't been fishing long enough we argued about that but sure enough My RTC got a hold of it while it was coming out of a cave and like a t-rex/pittbull it drag an smotter it into the sand from one side of the tank to the other then swallowed it. (My brother teeth looked like it drop to the floor:jaw-dropp (lol!!) he said that fish is a BEE..AST! i just straight laugh my butt off:ROFL: ! Because the perch was in it's stomach twitching for five hour before it died:headbang2

by the way my rtc is Name Veganugun (smaller than Sin) from the story of a man built unstoppable killing machine built to destory a monster name Sin that was the size of a blue whale that killed people but both was netheir good or evil same as Veganugun but less powerfull.
