nice giant community:)

Potential giants anyway. They will be once they are in my outdoor set-up. At the moment all of them are just potential feeders to the others ^^ (believe me - i tried)

you need to save up for a pond or better yet, lake bro.. lol

Thanks for the concern. The backup plan is already done (one paima already inside it ^^). Check out http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=166873&page=4

Hmmm as for the lake, seen my neighbors pond? I alread have an earth pond, but i can always copy my neighbor ... well that is not for years to come

Very nice.........the water looks cloudy though.........

I hang my head in shame though i hope that it shall only be for couple of month - and then with paimas gone over to a bigger place things should improve ...<sigh> ... the window on side does not help also. My father likes to watch my fish with sunlight - and of course he forgets (on more than one occassion) to close the curtains back ...

Nice fish!

Thanks ^^
 
In one of the shots, bichir is visible. I don't know what it is though (delhezi or endeli). Anyone?

Jar is the next king of the aquarium when the paimas are gone ... contingency planning for the silver aro and bichir. Might move in the other two silvers and the asian (from the other set-up) to this set-up in order to balance the power a little bit ^^

Moved the 2 paimas to outdoor set-up (refer to http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=181786 )

Remains jar, silver aro, bichir plus two new motoro pups ... hmmm considering combining my other silvers and a green with these ones ... i hate moving fish though

Lets the succession war begin. I hope jar does not turn into a killing machine now that the much larger paimas are gone ...

3 Silvers, jar, green and bichir +++ a motoro pup ^^

Just combined two aquariums into one (the other remains with two marble pims) in preparation for arrival of my 8x3x2 footer!!!! Pix of that coming soon.- + stocking list :headbang2

In any case, jar was being bullied by the silver after the departure of two paimas so i decided to bring in bigger silvers and a green. Surprisingly, the silvers (pushing 20" each) and green did not put up a fight at all during the moving ...may be they knew they are being moved to a bigger home (they look at it everyday and envy the jar and other silver for their spacious home).... well all of them will be staring at a very VERY large tank soon enough ...not for them though :naughty:

I hope that more bigger silvers will curb the ambitions of the silver aro that was nipping the jar.

This is my favorate tank now - i always dreamed about a com tank ...the downside is that if there is a disease all can perish =( ...i might separate them again once the 8footers is installed ...err no place for my other old tank though

PS: i just hope the silvers do not combine their power and kill jar...green lived peacefully with the silvers before (though it is swimming funny).
