    Death Row from Rare Fish, Dead on, and after arrival thread thread

    I should have recorded some of the more tragic shipments I've received over the years... One of the best was a shipment of marine fish from Haiti...evidently it was hot, so the packers felt an efficient way of keeping the fish cool would be to place a block of ice the size of a human head in...

    giant otter catches arapaima

    Even a big cat can catch Arapaima much bigger than themselves and they're not exactly aquatic like the otter. See video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKPyhde4m2s

    what to do with now dead lungfish. :c

    I defleshed the head of my big old SAL to get the dental plates out. African lungs have even bigger mouths, one of that size would have an impressive set.

    giant otter catches arapaima

    I can see a River Otter catching a fish that size, I've seen Mink catching Koi proportionately similar from backyard ponds. Mustelids are infamous for capturing and killing prey much larger than they are... check out these pics of the River Otter's tiny relative the Stoat taking down rabbits way...

    gold arapima

    You just jumped from "a few thousand" for the complete set-up to 20 thousand for just the tank. You could easily spend another 5 grand on the filtration alone. Our largest size pond bead filters, rated for 150 kilos of fish, costs a couple thousand alone.

    Which is the most primitive freshwater fish species?

    Bichirs aren't Acanthodians though, I'm not aware that they even had a speculative phylogenetic relationship. I'd love to see a source for that, did you have one regarding polypterid evolution?

    Endli x Ornate

    Given that they're members of the same genus, I don't see why you couldn't cross-breed the two and even get fertile offspring. Fish hybridize easier than more advanced vertebrates like mammals (need someone better versed in biology then me to explain why). For an example, look at all the various...

    gold arapima

    Agreed, we do a lot of custom tanks at work. "A few thousand" or "the cost of a used car" quoted previously won't get you an arapaima tank, unless you're planning on building a massive plywood framed shallow pond with some sort of plastic bin non-pressurized filter.

    Which is the most primitive freshwater fish species?

    By far? You could keep (and some members do) lampreys if you wanted. Stingrays and sharks also predate bichirs if I'm not mistaken.

    Bowfin Species Profile

    Grocery store lol? Got my 18" one for 4 bucks, I tried to pick the smallest. Mine is very mellow, apart from a bit of squabbling with the African aro.

    Building My 50,000 Gallon Monster Mega Tank

    That fills me with confidence for tomorrow...I'd appreciate it if you fed the wallago and arapaima beforehand! ;)

    Would a lungfish be ok with this?

    Dunno about that, I've had mine in with bichirs for more than 10 years. An African lungfish will likely munch your other fish once it gets large enough. A South American or Australian would be fine.
