"Boreek" a fellow member told me about this thread and never knew you were being "questioned" for buying a 16" black hoplias sp. from ME (Infinite Aquatics).


First picture was when the fish was in a 45 gal rubbermaid... can't even turn itself.

Second picture is from the rubbermaid waiting to be transfered to the tank

Third picture the fish is in the tank... the width of the tank is 14" so given the side view you can get the ball park "guesstimate" if you want to call it that way.

the first 2 pictures were taken by "Eman", giving some credit for the quality pictures.

I hope the "questions" and "confusions" on the size and legitimacy of "Boreek" having a 16" will no longer be in doubt.

Thank you!

I have seen this monster in person and shoot it was a beast....again awsome pick up Boreek....
 
Wow a real baller now.. Nice pickup..

I picked up one of the hopias too from Rich and mine is more active than I thought it would be... it swims around alot I think but if you get real close to watch him he'd just stop and sit at the bottom; but I do see it swimmin around alot.. if I want to watch it move around I just throw some massivore in and he jumps on it....It's a pretty cool fish...
 
sweet. i'm not really a fan of inactive fish. i saw a video once of a black wolf that chased it's owner finger. what is the max size on these guys?
