Yup. Good ol greedy Uncle Sam was invited into the aquarium room one too many times, finally saw some money to be had in it. Truly pathetic what causes they will leech onto for a buck. Unless its determined to be an immediate threat to the environment, by somebody who actually knows more than...

This is an outstanding thread. I'd give my left foot for an FTS and video. The shades of red on rainbows are on a different level. With this fish being kept in a 180 gallon comfortably for years it makes me consider the other possibilites in terms of keeping native predators. For years on this...

Thank you for this. I wonder what other issues we've seemed to split as a people. I know if there's a 50/50 disparity on something like whether eating salt water crustaceans, or even crustaceans at all is ok for Tigrinus Catfish there must be quite a few other nutritional and general care...

Thanks Doc, good info. I've always been tempted to feed shrimp because people have said their fish have colored up on them... I'm sorry that happened to the little guy. His markings were A1 man. Some places it gets expensive, but I got bait shop by my house where they sell earth worms for a...

Unfortunately, yes. That Tigrinus is suffering. I do not think that will improve. I would give it 36 hours from the inception of the worst symptoms, maybe 48 hours. But past that I would euthanize the fish and deal with the loss Exum. Im really sorry this happened, beautiful fish, looks well...

Ahh ok, you think those bars will become spots? @haynchinook334 ALWAYS learning ?

Bump

How are they doing @bassinmike85 ? Great that you got both M/F. And which batch of Fogo did this come from in terms of locality and so forth?

Gonna say Mono as well, looks like the Peruvian one I grew years ago.

Looking for black/leichardti arowana right now. In the Massachusetts area and will pay for shipping. If anybody could be so kind as to point me in the direction of a reputable vendor that has them or would order them for me would be outstanding and I'd appreciate it greatly. If anybody nearby...

Bump! This is crazy looking... An update as soon as convenient by whomever in-the-know would be fire.

So over the last half-decade have there been any more of these fish kept by members on here? Still a fish I'd like to potentially own one day in a fast flowing "Monster Stream" as opposed to a Monster pond. It would be difficult, but rewarding for sure. @I31 did yours end up reaching a...

Stunning tank @Egon forreal, I think this mightve been the push I needed to switch to Dats from Gar down the line soon. Really the epitome what I call a true success in our hobby. 10+ years is one hell of an accomplishment. These fish in general, are not easy to keep.

Agreed. This should be stickied. I was one of those young guys who worked all summer during highschool one year to try and get like ya'll.. Just wanted a big fish tank and to keep/feed some cool predators. For all of my life i thought these fish only existed in public aquariums and The Wild. I...

Damn. That hurt me to hear, truly sorry that this happened to you. Your Curupira was one of my favorite fish on MFK. The epitome of "Monster Fish Keeping", just a remarkable specimen. Things happen, problems with health occur even in the most hygienic of atmospheres, don't waste time blaming...

Hey OP I will buy the tank if its still up for grabs!!

Hey fellas, I'm also in Eastern Massachusetts area down by Attleboro area. I'm also not enticed by keeping African Cichlids. I'm most experienced with Cichla. Kept everything from CB mystery bass to WC Cichla Xingu. Other favorites I've kept were my Tigrinus cat, my FL gars, my GATF, and my...

Hey OP, beautiful tank, you ever end up getting rid of this ?

Wow these are incredible pieces of large E. Bambusa. At one point I worked in a fish hatchery in Highschool up here in Massachusetts, they hatched, bred, and kept Atlantic salmon at the time. Since Yellowcheeks entered the trade around the time I worked there in 2010/2011, I always thought they...

M My guys are on live rn so I'm gonna have to do something but my Azul is still kinda skinny so I'm wanna fatten him up rn.
