Synodontis - had , dont think i want agian .



Didnt think there could stay in a 120Gal tank for life , thought there grew a little too big for a 4x2x2 tank .

you can go with something like a senegal in that size tank IMO

Cool ill have a look into them .

Still not decided yet on what too go for .

I am thinking on getting 3+ Lima Cat's for my pond when its done .

Do you think i could get 1 for this tank or will it get a little too big for the tank ?

Said before not really wanting any sort of Pleco , Looking for something which is Bottom Dwelling but not a Pleco .

Been thinking . . . what you think ?

Stripes raphael - 1
and
Pictus catfish - 3

then maybe some other catfish if i can later on .

Starving a fish to keep it small is cruel, and will eventually kill it.
You know if you don't feed your kids they wont grow either, and that way you don't have to buy new shoes...
Seriously, why even suggest that.

im not talkin aboot starving them. just dont over feed and they will grow ALOT slower.(unfortunatly for me...>.>)

not true some crayfish you can get biger that a foot.


red tails if you dont feed em much will be fine for many years.

mud puppys also you can buy a foot long if you go to the right places...

or you can try your hand at hand fishing for the mud pups that are big.

Keeping a RTC in a 120 small enough for years, would require starving it... No two ways about it.

agreed. RTC even on a "light" diet should grow an inch or so per month IMO

What about a Lima' ?

I posted this up a couple of posts back .

limas grow quick as well, but I've heard of people keeping them in a 75 for a while, but not life.

btw, it took me 5 tries to type I've because my caps lock was pissing me off.
