yeh yeh thats wat i meant...sorry for the confusion. thanks chichlagua

 

[Zoodiver]

Forgive me, but I'm still skeptical on the "world's largest" claim. I'll be convinced when I get gallons or measurements.

look alrite...u dont have to get all competitive or jealous or wtv ok...just settle down...this is meant to be a friendly fish website where we share not compare...so just settle down. and i admit i was wrong. my dad just corrected me and sed its the largest exhibit in south east asia NOT the world...

 

[Zoodiver]

It's cool. I'm not trying to be upset about it or anything. I just wondered if there was a big one out there I didn't know about. I like to stay on top of who is doing what when it comes to large scale exhibits....especially Amazon stuff.

Uh. You're the one who started it with your first post.. A pompous comment full of lies, instigating the whole thing. "My pima would eat ures.." What kind of crap is that?

Now you are complaining about friendly fish website? Zoodiver was trying to help. He has been very civil and friendly through-out this thread, and you acted like a child.


Zoodiver knows his stuff. He is not exaggerating. If anyone knows about Airapima's, it would be him.

This fish gets 14 feet long. 14 feet. Say it with me now "Fourrrr-Teeeeen-Feeeet"...

It does not belong in home aquaria.

90g is not big enough for it, at any stage..


And to the original poster, if you create a post asking a question.. like "why did this pima die".. then people tell you "too small of a tank" for you to immediately rebuttle "it's not the tank size'.. then why would you ask that question? The fish died, didn't it?

Obviously you really didn't want help, or you just have a hard time accepting the fact that these fish died from ignorance.. atleast you can drop the blame on the buddy you were keeping it for.. Were you just going to grow it out, while he works on that 30,000g tank?


Sorry not trying to be a jerk.. But I am watching Zoodiver politely try to inform people, while getting bashed on for 'going over the top'.. when he is the only one who seems to have a notion of practicality when it comes to the 'longest fw fish in the world'..

'Foooooouuuuuuurrrrrrrr-teeeeeeeennnnnnnn-feeeeeeeetttttttttt'

First... I think the "my pima would eat yours" was a little bit of boasting and joke all in one.. obviously that was before he knew other people on the site(zoo/john) were in possession of large pimas. It wasn't brought up again.

Zoodiver does know alot. Won't disagree. As always there's more than one way to skin a cat. Sure tank size could be a reason for deaths but more input like the original poster was looking for would help reassure him that was the reason and not something else. I couldn't bare to name all the people/lfs that keep them in less than 400g tanks when small unless they die only when they reach a certain size in smaller tanks. And after john posted his two died in a 60g I think that was reassurance as it could be the reason.

Whether his buddy has a 30,000 gallon(johns tank isn't even that size) tank or not shouldn't be an issue. He was looking for an answer to explain the deaths. If everytime someone looks for an answer to explain a death you say "you didn't have a big enough tank for long term anyways" then this hobby will go no where and never advance.

The only person who acted like a child is the person who said:


You co-own the largest 'box-like aquarium' freshwater exhibit in the world?



I hope you were joking..

Give the guy a break. If you're from malaysia you might have a hard time describing things in english.

First of all I don't care what you think about that tank size. The tank is plenty big for that fish to be in there for a month or two. And for my friend to have a 30,000 gallon tank ready for it, was never mentioned. I don't care what he does with it. All I can do is try and inform him that it will need a huge tank. I just asked a simple question about chemistry of water and tankmates. I realized it was my fault that the tankmates became aggressive after the time I had him. I have respect for zoodiver and did for you until this bs comment. Everyone makes mistakes. So chill out!!! We all have seen people raise fish in too small of a tank and it work for a while. Everyone always wants an ocean for a fish to grow up in. If this was the case most of us wouldn't own half the fish we do!!

Thank you Very much for understanding my orginal post!!

If I was from malaysia I wouldn't make false claims that we're an obvious lie, and then continue to post further garbage solidifying the fact that I had no clue what I was talking about in the first place.

It pisses me off when people come on here, drop some crap, and when they are intelligently dismissed, they get all offended.

You guys jumped on Zoodiver's case, now I get on yours, and we are all sad.


ray777, Obviously 90g isn't good enough for a 5" inch fish.. Blame it on your tankmates.. the other guy.. whatever. But if you are going to come and ask about 'water chemistry' and people tell you it's the tanksize, don't try to tell them they are wrong.. because, gee, your Pima died?

It is an issue. I was insinuating exactly this; If they can't accommodate for it when its 5", how will either of them accommodate for it at 2 feet, 7 feet, 10, feet, 14 feet?

It makes me so mad that people can even own fish like this.. and then when they kill it they try to place blame on others.. even after asking for help or opinions..
