    My current aquarium!

    Well, hopefully you can win that war! Awesome! Thank you! Very well, the angelfish do not bother him at all, and he occasionally flares at the hatchetfish. Overall he seems happier than most bettas I see.

    My current aquarium!

    I very rarely get lily bulbs that do not sprout. Not only do they get large, and bushy, but they're nice to look at, and that's why they're my favourite! I've considered even painting the back of the aquarium black, like I have seen several people on this forum do. Well, fortunately I have...

    My current aquarium!

    Thank you, that particular piece of driftwood, I have had since the spring of 2010. I have always loved how it looks! The lily is a "red lily" I believe? I know I bought it from PetSmart in the Top Fin lily pack that we have. Before I cut the existing lily plants I have down, they nearly took...

    My current aquarium!

    It does look empty! I'm just waiting for the three lily bulbs that I bought about a week ago (ayyeee) to bloom. What plants would you add to it? And, I have thought about a darker substrate, though I'm not certain I want black. I'm just concerned about over stocking the tank in complete honesty.

    My current aquarium!

    In mid 2014, the last fish one could consider "aggressive" or "monstrous" passed away. In August 2014, I began down a path of a tropical community aquarium, with an eventual goal of turning my 55 gallon into a planted, or mostly planted community aquarium. From August to a few weeks ago, I only...

    Very nice setup, I definitely love the arowana! How often do you have to clean this tank?

    My favorite fish died last night

    I'm sorry for your loss, I definitely know how it feels to lose a fish that you love.

    Have you ever wanted a career in fish?

    Definitely! When I was little, it was all I ever saw myself doing in the future. And now, I work at PetSmart as a Pet Care Specialist, so I'm about there :)

    PetSmart, or PetCo Employed?

    This was one of the best explanations on pet store fish I have ever seen.

    My most recent trip to Canada

    The one with fries is a French Canadian dish called 'poutine,' it is so incredibly good! They usually put cheese curds, fries, and gravy in traditional poutine. What part of Ontario did you go to? Indeed it was :)

    My most recent trip to Canada

    Every six months, I go to Canada. Most of the time, I visit Calgary, Alberta as I have many wonderful friends there, and I date a French Canadian that lives in Calgary. About two weeks ago, I flew to Montreal, Quebec, Canada to meet the family, and my possible future mother-in-law. Aside from...

    Is this a Pacu or a Red Bellied Piranha?!

    It definitely looks as though you have a Piranha on your hands!

    PetSmart, or PetCo Employed?

    Two days ago, made four months with PetSmart. So far, I thoroughly enjoy working there. The most frustrating thing I deal with on a daily basis, are the customers who have done no research, and simply do not care for the lives of their fish. I would not consider myself the "average employee."...

    PetSmart, or PetCo Employed?

    Since October 1, 2014, I have been an official employee at the PetSmart closest to my home. I work as a Pet Care Specialist (bagging fish, getting people animals, giving advice) and I was wondering if there were any other members here on Monster Fish Keepers that are also employed by PetSmart...

    Leaving the world of monsters

    Just a few days ago, my convict male of 7 years passed away. He was the toughest fish I have ever owned, and he was one of the best fish I have ever had. He has now joined his wife in fish heaven. I have never been so upset over a fish passing away. That is 7 years of my life, that I shared with...

    How is the government shut down affecting you?

    I personally have not yet been affected by the shutdown yet. Life feels the same to me so far. However, I am extremely angry about it, and my heart goes out to the millions sitting at home without work at the moment.

    Canine dental surgery...

    Close to $1,000 dollars?! That's unreal.

    So with no government does this mean we can import any fish we want??

    That would be amazing. Let's take advantage of this rare opportunity, and import as many Asian arowanas as we can ;)
