I wish I could pack my tank just like this

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
That is ****in awesome! If there is books of pictures of these type of setups can you guys please give me a link. I'm fascinated by this.... Gotta admit though that that pic makes you NOT want to believe its real
 
Agree on all things you said. I cant even pack my tank with half the fish that they do without killing the rays. Its an art and not everyone realizes that.

Iheartfishies, are you a non-beleiver in Jap's "MONSTER FISH KEEPERS?" :uhoh:

I am not saying that I positively know for sure that they didn't just THROW all the fish inside the tank??... cause I wasn't there in Japan at the photoshoot or anything?... but I honestly don't think that ALL of these pictures of 'OverCrowded Packed Tanks' in the MFK books are phony, neither?!! I mean there has got to be a reason why Japan, as a country... gets first choice dibs on all available imported fish...(everything else that reaches the US, is basically 2nd grade quality rejects!) These Jap hobbyists are truley serious about their fish & the hobby... absolutely NUTS!!... And I think their photos in the books absolutely PROVE/display this!! :drool: leave all the photoshop/editing for the movies!!

Also, have you ever tried or attempted to try combining a bunch of various fish in a community tank? If you have done, and have been sucessfull, Congrats to you, Iheartfishies! :y220e: IME, I have tried several times... but never really 100% acheived what i was trying to go for?!! Gotten close to it, but something unfortunate always seemed to happen?!!... (ray gets bit by bichir & dies, FRT biting on fishmates, stressing them out!, not able to feed bottom-dwelling fish, because another voracious feeder won't let it?, etc., etc.!) :mad:

In order to acheive a sucessful "monster fish" community, you gotta have a "perfect balance" among your chosen fish inhabitants. And with that, comes a series of various different actions that is taken... for example; adding or taking out a certain fish(s) for any given reason? taking/spending quality time to observe tank/fish & their behavior, perhaps adding "target" fish to the community to lessen aggression, adding (+) or minus (-) fish to the group? etc. etc. Basically a game of Trial and Error?!!... sometimes good?!! :grinyes: And sometimes bad?!! :wall: :D :thumbsup:

Shouts go out to all "MONSTER FISH KEEPERS"!! :cheers:

Ya a wow! Filtration nightmare LOL
 
Ibet this gets vac'd hourly LOL
 
my tank will be like that in a year
 
No big deal. I've seen 10 gallon tanks packed more than that around here in Fl. But with different fishes. You might say we have the "bonsai" equivalent of those tanks.:ROFL:

Id say its photoshoped for sure as some of the fish at the top are in shadows that aint on the fish in the bottom. Nice fish, poor picture editing though. So easy to tell its foney.
