Mallory the Tiger Musky

[Arial_Sky]

Hey everyone, haven't been around in a while and wanted to update you on my Tigers, Mickey and Mallory. They are both a foot long now, lets remember on June 27th they were 2 inches long, so to all the questions, YES they grow fast. This is a nice pic of Mallory I took today after she just ate 3 fairly large goldfish. I use to keep them in the basement where they didn't get much human contact, and they were always skitish. I have since moved them into the living room 200 were they get lots of human interaction around the tank. I am very happy to report that they are no longer spooky at all. In fact it's kinda funny cause when they are hungry all they do is sit and stare at you till you feed them. LOL!! They are the coolest fish I have ever owned! Next spring I want to get a few baby Walleye and give them a try. Would love to hear everyones opinions and thoughts on these wonderful creatures of our native wilderness.

Beautiful fish, glad to hear they've adjusted to human interaction, that's always a relief.

I didn't catch them, I bought them at a pet shop. I am told by two people who's opinion I regard highly, that we owe this to the whole snakehead ordeal. The people in power lightened up the laws regarding native fish after they banned snakeheads. Probably from pressure from industry lobbyists. Dude, do yourself a favor and never live your life without having a native tank. They are simply the best!

If I wasn't so dedicated to stingrays I would convert my 375g to coldwater just for muskies.. they are pretty sweet.

Set up another tank! Life is not complete without a native tank!
