love for monster fish

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I would say my Dad. My first tankw as a 10g Tall Octogon that we got from Price Club (now knownas Costco). But before that, my Parent's Friend's Son had a big tank with Monster Fish in it. I fell in love with the Clown Knife. I don't know what it is, but they are my favorite monster fish since I first laid eyes on them.
 
Was given a 50 gal by a friend who never had anything in it. :naughty: I got a clown knife for my first fish!!:grinno: He is 12" now and in a 250 gal. Also have a 20 gal and am paying on a 90 gal. Want to build a DIY plywood 750. (need looooots of research)
 
my first real monster i wil never forget would be my first reddevil flame.I picked her up in troy ohio.she started off in a 29 gallon and ended up in a 75.i got her around 1 inch and i fell in live with the fish,the moment i saw it striking the glass right above the label reading reddevil.I bought it for $8 and was interested in her monster behavior as she dug up gravel and guarded unfertalized eggs.from then on it was history.:headbang2
 
My best friend gave me a 30G tank that he didn't want anymore. He kept 2 bluegill in it with a little filter, and he fed his fish turkey, hotdogs, just about anything out of the fridge!
The 2 bluegill got huge. He never cleaned the tank or did water changes, left the light on 24/7:screwy: . Eventually they both died.
So he gave it to me. When I got the tank I told my girlfriend to go pick up some fish for it.
She came back with like 5 oscars!:WHOA: Over the next month all but 2 had died!:cry:
At the time I knew nothing about properly maintaining a tank and fish. So I got online and found MFK and learned everything about Oscars. I became addicted instantly hooked!
I then found myself buying a 150g! Now, I want the biggest tank I can fit into my house!
I love ]v[onster fish and will NEVER stop!!!:naughty:

i was always into reptiles............the big snakes mostly python's and boas mainly, but when i was like 12 my mommy said i could'nt have any, so she said how bout fish, she thought little goldfish bowl, instead i bought a 10 gal, next year a 55, then a 125......and on and on, buy then i was hooked on the hobby for life, and i prefered the big and mean fish, never was a guppy kind of guy.
 
I went to the carnival when I was about 10 or 12 and threw a ping pong ball into a bowl and won a little goldfish.
