Hey all
brandnew here and to fiish keeping. sofar it has been a pain figering out how to get on here. have attempted to post 3 times on here. hope this works.
i have two tanks a 30 and 15 gal. just repaired the small one. the big one was way over crowded. it contained 3 big sucker fish, 2 pacus, 12 yellow fish that were supposed to be feeders for the crawdads. there are 6 or 7 adults one of witch is a big horney male. there at least a dozzen little ones. can`t count them cause there too fast or i`m too old. today i shrank the population in half.
i have a half built 200 gal plastic tank comming along. gona use a pool filter u/v light o and co2 so i can have a planted tank. hopefully i can find some plants that will out grow the rentless attack of the pacus and crawdads. prob wishful thinking. guess aughto get a big light too.
y`ll prob croke next cause i use well water. just bring in the garden hose and fill up the tanks. made a tank vacume using water filter housings and sump pump. sucked up a baby crawdad but it is ok. gota get the big tank done. getting tired of looking at it setting side ways in the living room.
havent had any troubles with the tanks. guess overfeed them but i think it keeps the crawdads from eating each other. have one crawdad that looks like it has short white hair all over but it is very active so don`t figger it is sick. every one else is quite active.
well nuff of my rantings good to be on this site.
