What else do you keep? (non piranha)

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Goldfish. 6 Inch fan-tail oranda and a 2 inch pearlscale.
 
dithers............................
maybe I'll get back into aro and/or other larger predatory fish like wolffish, ATF, dorado etc....but need a bigger thank first...180g is just not big enough.
 
Its tricky because people dont understand bioloads and water volume. From what ive learned, just take the cycling process very slow, use lots of liverock and sand, slowly add the bioload as each addition will give a small hiccup in the BB and water params. So dont over feed, slowly add life, keep a close eye on water evap (smaller tanks salinity swings harsher because of water volume. One gallon of evap in a 210 gallon tank is neligible and 1/2 gallon evap in a 5.5 can be a tank crash.) and its harder to pile equipment onto the tank, light options are harder to come by.

+1 salt tanks can be tricky but if you take them slow they can be real easy. i have a 20 gallon salt tank and i have no problems with it

do you still talk to bomber? do you know if he still has his GATF? i'll prob shoot him a pm to catch up with him but just curious if you knew
 
If i had the $$ and space, id be keeping aros, payara (scombs and armatus) and id really like to try out ATF's.

+ 1 on the payara. They look like monsters. other than piranha, i keep SA/CA cichlids. Cons, JDs, green terrors, severums.
 
Aimara
Tatuaia
Scomb
Dithers (Gourami/Neons/Cardinals/Black Skirts/etc.)
Wide Bar Myleus
Super Red Severums
Marmokreb crayfish
Centipede
Beardie

more on the way, but that's it for now.

But if you've only got a single P species, then you haven't even began to discover the world of P's yet... ;) It's a world in its own.

^^^ Damn stared at that avatar for a while... quite hypnotic I must add :drool:
 
Pictus cats, convicts, yellow lab, gold severums, loaches, royal pleco. Royal is my favorite.uploadfromtaptalk1349287337510.jpg
 
Just got 2 of these green severums. Really like them.. Look like discus with the colors, but $10 a piece instead of 90. uploadfromtaptalk1350740311618.jpg
