Welcome to MFK!

Thank you very much

Lol, I will be keeping them in my 29 while they are juvies, so that I can do lots of big water changes. Once they're grown out to 5 or so inches, I will move them into the 220.

I plan on having two 55gal water change barrels so I can fill them with the hose and them preheat the water and age it. Then I will use some large pumps to pump water right out the window and then pump new water in at a ver quick pace. Ideally, I'm hoping to be able to do a 25% water change in 15 or so minutes, and a 50% water change in about 30 minutes. We will see though. Lol

I have a 17 gallon reservoir under the tank that I can age and heat water with, although I tend to just leave it for 10 minutes max after adding chemicals. It takes about four of those to fill the tank up from a %40, so I'm changing 75 gallons instead of 80 because of dilution.

Pretty sure my wife would kick me out, to "snake like" lol

I am actually a oddball type of guy, my favorites are polypterus.

You'll find most people on here to be very kind and helpful. There was only one person I met who I didn't like, and that was because they talked about their bad experience with Blood Parrots and how they are stupid fish and anyone who buys them is more stupid than the fish.

I would get bored of three fish.

I had 14 tanks that I changed 15 gallons each daily and at one point 10 others that I changed 30 gals every other day, water changes, I don't mind, I have a drain I hook on a tank, walk away then I just comes back do the next one ect, then I have another filler with a hook, set it in the tank and wait a bit, I like doing water changes lol

Have fun with those water changes if you keep juvies.

Sounds like they had educated responses lol ;-)

I got my second Firemouth a couple of months ago and he is the most active fish I have. Along with that he's full of personality. I have a Black Ghost Knife and the only time I see it is when I put food in the plastic soda bottle that it eats from, when it returns to the bottle to scavenge for the leftovers that aren't there, or when it's late at night (past 11). Even though I don't see it often, I love my BGK.
