Geezzz, I forgot this was April fools. I was hoping this thread was real since I lost one of my big silvers to jumping and the other seems to lost the will to live. I don't expect her to make it through the night:( I guess I'll have to start with new young silvers.
sorry for your loss :( your big 2 fter male jumped out?

Both jumped, think they spooked each other. The one I believe to be male died. The other I think is female looks pretty bad.
 
how big were they?? I'm sure u have it covered.. but did they break the canopy/glass/cover?


I need to watch out for mine then... I have two silvers right now.... both at 12-13" around there.. and i'm thinking their male/female..... their getting along nicely except for occasional nipping on fins/scales...

Ya it was covered the glass broke and the weights I had holding the glass down fell into the tank. This probably caused more problems. I also lost a sun cat, it may have gotten crushed by the spooked aro or maybe one of the falling weights.
 
wow dude any pictures of the female silver =( thats sucks dude,your silver pair were beautiful
 
No pics right now, I have the tank lights off and the room dark. Just trying to reduce any added stress right now.

With all the crazyness going on I didn't even think to get pics of the one that died. It's been wrapped up and put in the freezer until I figure what I'll do with it. Once I decide I'll defrost and get a pic and measure him for his true length, I believe he was about 27".
 
wow true monster how long have you had them?
 
Tomorrow I'll do my own thread on this, sorry for rambling on in this one. For now here are some pics of them in their glory.

wow... sorry to hear that.. so sad...

Ya.. I dont trust glass.. Thats why all of my canopy covers are acrylic.. at least they are durable with the weight on...

I hope you'll get back into the Silvers soon.. but 27" i can't imagine how long you've had them... 5+ yrs? :(


and no worries on the deraill.. its not really a serious one.. i hope i dont get in trouble with the mods....

PS.. those are AWESOME pics man...
 
i think he kept them 2-3 years and i dont trust glass either,arowana can crack it,i use acrylic
