    Damn! These guys are FAT!

    I wonder if they use something in addition to selective breeding. Steroids, growth hormone, etc?

    Knifefish ID

    I think I found it...pretty cool. This is what it looks like, though where I found the pic they weren't 100% sure either.Looks like something from the Adontosternarchus family.

    Knifefish ID

    And...I don't have a picture. Maybe tomorrow. I got a fish in with my order of chocolate ghost knives. It is not chocolate ghost knife, but it has the shape of one (definitely some sort of knifefish..). It has a very blunt head, like a 'baby whale'. But it's very mottled/spotted. I was...

    jack dempsey x pearlscale texas hybrid w/pic

    Those are quite nice..better than some hybrids. Hmm. Electric Blue Jacks would be spectacular crossed with a Texas..if the EB jack could stand up to the Texas.

    African Pike Emergency - He Jumped out, Still Alive!

    The stress coat should help..otherwise just wait it out. Unfortunately if they start 'drying' their kidneys can shut down, they can get some brain damage..so if the injuries aren't too severe, he should make it but might be a little weird.

    Golden Shark 14" socal p/u only

    $150? No way...try $25. These are super common and grow super fast. I had a hard time selling three 8" ones for $10 each.

    Wal Mart Gold Fish (bloody awful) !!

    I went into my local walmart one weekend morning...out of about 30 bettas, 3 or 4 were alive. There were dead fish chilling in the filters, algae on the tanks, and GSPs chasing the plecos around. Their excuse was that the fish person was away on vacation and there was no one to take care of...

    BLACK Clown Knife

    From what I can tell, this will then not be a clown knife, but a featherback knifefish, notopterus notopterus. I'm not aware of any true clown knife (notopterus chitala) being black.

    Girlfriend wants a fish in my tank... any recommendations?

    There are some serious tools out there...but seriously, run from this girl. She's using both of you. Nothing good ever comes out of affairs...why isn't she with the ex? If she is living with him, he is paying her bills, maybe they are sleeping together on occasion, and they are telling friends...

    Leaky 55gs, Stand, Supplies PU Ware MA

    + Black rim 55g Gallon Tank. Does not hold water, as evidenced by the 55 gallons on my floor this morning. Fine for non aquatic animals. $25 + Oak rim 55g Gallon Tank. It did hold water when I took it down three days ago, however the center brace broke and there was algae under the silicone...

    Are Polypterus cannibalistic

    I had 2-3" Congo tetras eat a bunch of cardinals...haha. Whoops.

    Well, I was curious what 55g on the floor would look like..

    Found out this morning. :nilly: No pics, no time...laminate floor and water is not a good mix. The floor panels are separating, fingers crossed the floor won't be too damaged when it drys. You know that "if ain't broke, don't fix it" saying? The tank I had there, the center brace had broke and...

    attention dog lovers!!

    I have so many opinions on the subject...I could write essays or a 20 page thesis on it. Very sad story...I do think things are changing, slowly but surely. I am NOT a fan of some no kill shelters...but some of the kill shelters are truly ancient in their way of thinking. Everyone seems to be...

    Favorite LFS "CUSTOMER" STORIES ...

    :grinno: The owners of my store aren't afraid to "fire" pain in the ass customers...but it always seems like it's all or nothing...they are either telling them to go elsewhere, or giving them a gift card. It is hard to stand up to a customer, and try to be firm on something like a store policy...

    Sex the Severums

    I'm assuming all three are male...I'm just wanting to double check. They are recent pickups and they always come to me in poor shape...I feel like I have a severum sanctuary here :p. Sorry the pictures aren't great I was just trying to get clear shots.

    Moving Large African Tiger Fish

    I've never dealt with ATF but I've seen this behavior in bala sharks, chinese algae eaters, and spiney eels when being netted. I've never seen anything written about it...I always assumed it was stress related hyperventilation/panic attack/shock.

    another experience with a chain petstore

    Send a letter to corporate. I called once to check if they had black background...girl said yep, sure do. Drove 35 minutes there to get it, and they were out of stock...she knew that they carried it but didn't check if it was in stock. Corporate is pretty apologetic and sends coupons.
