i like the lyonsi and the bocourti.
I knew you would bro! lol! I'm actually gonna sell the Bocourti maybe even the Lyonsi pair. I am however keepin a juvenile Pearsei in a 75 by himself to grow out. They get nice and big and have that brutish look that I like despite bein big push overs. :D

Armatus for sure. :D
Thanx bro! My personal fav is the Curupira and the Armatus is a close second. Really lookin to cut down on my stock, so I can concentrate
some more on gettin some size out of my Curupira, Armatus and Gars.

Same here:)

Bro ALL of those pics look amazing! and all of the specimens are in fantastic shape and can tell are top quality , I am glad I am not the one who will have to choose which ones to get rid of and which ones to keep cause I really don't think I could choose !

and I was wondering what kind of camera you used also :) I am glad you answered already, going to have to check how expensive it is , I NEED to get a decent camera that is multi functional for taking pics/vids of my fish but I can use it on family trips and sporting events also but don't want to spend a ton of $ on it either ( any suggestions?) ( My way of thinking is if I got the few thousand saved up for a good DSLR and different lens's tripod, speedlights ect. Why not spend that money on another fish tank :D ... but I am starting to think I have turned into a bit of a collector of fish related stuff lol so far got a 360 G, 300 G pond, 2 - 99G, 75 G, 4 - 55's, 2 - 29's, 4 - 20's 4 - 10's & by the end of the year going to build a few thousand gallon pond with Veiwing window :WHOA::naughty:)
Nice bro, can't wait to see some pics of DIY build and results. Unfortunately I'm no expert on camera's so I can't suggest any, but my own. It records vid's in 1080p and lower def.'s. You just need a serious card to keep up with the HD vids. Now I know why cards can get so expensive, besides just capacity. I personally have no speedlight's or slave enabled flashes yet. The camera was an impulse self given Christmas gift. lol! I can't wait to get some slave enabled remote flashes, then my pics should really improve.:D Thanx for the compliments on my collection, bro. I really want to sell everything, and focus on a more pred stock. Gonna save up and work on a rarer selection in my tank.

armatus and curupira, nice....
Thanx man, they are my fav's. I love the sets of teeth on them, truly wicked!

armatus! simply hardcore!
Thanx bro, the hardcore fangs are some of the attraction!
 
I have also been doing some serious thinking about setting up a tank for a Vatf =) for just a single specimen Predator tank , after checking some out on you tube They seem to be the total package , constant swiming, plain Evil and awesome to watch feed =)

Yeah, bro sounds like a perfect choice for you. You've got the room to grow one out and maybe even keep one for life with the pond. I get so tempted when I see them, but I know I'll never dedicate that much to the hobby to ever have room for a fish like that. They're always on the move and def need lot's of room, so I've stopped myself from buyin one even just to grow out. Otherwise I'd love to try mixing a Dorado and ATF. Two graceful monster torpedo's patroling a tank now that would be a sight.
 
psshhhtt.. I probably don't have to tell you which one I voted for. I've been trying to get a pic like that for years. Great job. :drool:

used any of my tips yet?:P
Not yet, my funds are pretty low right now. :(So I was unable to pick up a remote slave enabled flash or speedlight. The Curupira upclose shots is because he's very curious about me. So he gets close to the front of the tank and just watches me. So I'm able to decrease the speed of the shutter and get more detail in his pics.

Huh? Which one? l:hitting: My Armatus is probably my second most curious fish. He's been watching me alot more often now. Unlike the Cichlids who only care if I'm standing up by the tank, since they know it probably means I'll be dropping in food soon. I see both the Wolf and Arm watching me even when I'm across the room at my computer. Thanx for the compliment too bro. Hopefully my photo skillz will improve as he get's bigger. :naughty:

You're giving me a hard time which one to pick as I like them all.
Thanx bro, you know how I feel about your collection :drool: It's hard for me too hence the poll :D My fav's right now are my Wolf, Armatus, Gars and Male Lyonsi. See too many fav's too small a tank :(. Especially since I want at least one Thinbar Dat and Perch in there. I really gotta upgrade.
 
gars are very nice, just picked up one myself
