About any species of fish can throw this genetic mutation, don’t see y it would affect their health or mobility in any way especially in captivity. Doesn’t have to be line bred either. Its just a 1 off mutation like albinism that occurs naturally. Fish keepers didnt create it… they took...

Motoro and mantilla as others have said… price is pretty hanous tho. Reg motoro $100 or less… mantilla $250-300 range… u can get nicer hybrids or even black rays these days for $500

No need for a python… trip to the hardware store will get u everything u need… 3/4”-1” nylon hose and some fittings for a sink attachment does wonders. Huckin buckets is just a waste of time and energy.

Now who would take the time to do that ???????

Nice, glad ur up to speed with the current laws. dont take much for them to give u problems sadly. Ive been there. If the state has stocked them before u should b able to find the hatchery in ur state that still may produce them and can ship, pickup or deliver. Would b fun to grow them out every...

From some short reading ive found tilapia are invasive in ur state. There is only 1 species allowed to be stocked in ponds as a summer food source from a hatchery... do ur due diligence in research and law checking. U cant just have an “outdoor pond as an aquarium”. Again, if u wish to due so...

Thats Esox Lucius uve pictured, northern pike. This is a chain pickerel, Esox Niger. i think ull b hard pressed to breed them in a tank unless u harvest eggs/sperm like they do for most game fish. Looks like u do have them in ur state, appears to be no size or bag limit but id def. check that...

Remember that when u find those nice bichir in 2 pieces ?... hurting their jaw/teeth is hilarious. Their jaws are made like a set of shears for a reason. They will grind those bichir up for an evening snack when u least expect it. Ur specimen is right about at the size where they start being a...

Enjoy it while u can... i assure u he will start cutting those bichirs in half... aethiopicus does not tolerate tank mates for very long

albino esox lucius ???...origin russia. Only 1 other true albino recorded on you tube i know of. Fat ole female too, shame.

Most farm raised catfish readily accept pellets from the rip... u just gave him a taste of the “good life” pampering him with live worms and cut fish.

Not saying ur suspects about food/diet arent a valid reason for ur losses Vik...but i think you need to look into even more “basic” solutions such as water quality and maybe tempature. Nitrates over 20 along with higher tempatures will kill just about anything over time IME. So will stress from...

Ive had both males and females fight each other to death... if you see it happening def. separate as they will not stop in most cases. Ive had more problems with male vs. male but my worst case was also fem vs. fem chewed to death over night in a rare case. Id say this is a common issue that...

100% poop chute lol... i agree the pic is deceiving with the “string” coming out of it for anchor worm but Lungs dont have a typical anus placement. Surprisingly this is normal on the side behind the back leg. @Rocksor beat me to the punch. O.P. No need to use any kind of meds IMO... looks...

Just looks like a very old tank to me...def. showing all the signs of being 30+ yrs old. Even looks to have been “tip and poured” when it was built on the inside seams. I own/run a few similiarly built tanks from that era of construction. Biggest worry/concern is that one seam. The “crazing” is...

only 1 way to find out lol...worst case scenario use reg. pvc primer and glue and just make that 1 nut permenant to not worry. or chaulk it up to a learning experience and order a diff/reg. style bulkhead. If that was the only part I had to work with id give it a shot see what happens...easy...

Havent seen a bulkhead with removable inside nut... shouldnt change the principle tho. Gasket always goes on the inside to make the seal. Tighten by hand. No silicone is needed as others may suggest. After u tighten it go back later and hand tighten a bit again. You can usually get another half...

Hutton products... “gold label aquarium and pond sealer”. Great stuff. Hard to find in the U.S.... its a black silicone despite the name. The “quick shot” is a bit more available. Check pond type stores. It cures 100% underwater or out of water and has great adhesion properties to various...

dremel/rotary tool will make quick work of the divider... u cant really cut flush with any tool or saw. Ull have to cut what u can then sand off the rest. Might be able to get a hack saw bit in pretty close by hand like ur thinking. Still a bit of sanding needed tho.

https://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/threads/the-work-starts-here-20ft-tank.535516/ blast from the past... very plausible o.p.....i agree with @esoxlucius tho in that id try to make the tank work/fit as is. Not as major as cutting a 20’er into 2 tanks but if thats the only option you have...
