New to the forum, My tank :)

[shovelyjoe]

Hi everyone.
This is just the site I have been after. I love all monster fish!
Ive kept fish my whole life and after falling in love with Amazonian cats I'm rather fond of the huge stuff.

My collection currently consists of
1x 24" Tiger Shovelnose
1x 16" Spotted Gar
1x 6" Albino Tiger Oscar
1x 3" Brachicromis Bangui (sp)
3x 4" Silver Dollars
2x 1" Convicts
2x 20" Plecs

In the past I have had Pacus, Red Tailed Cats, Arowanas, Giant Gouramis and many others. This is my current collection and will have to stay this way until I get a bigger tank. I currently have a 72" x 36" x 30" LxWxH aquarium and a few small ones for the smaller Cichlids.

Unrelated to fish I keep Snakes, Frogs and Newts and a Tarantula. I also have a large Snapping Turtle.

Anyway, heres a few pics of my fish. (Sorry about the quality)

Thanks everyone, this is a great site

WELCOME TO MFK!!!!

love your collection.

Howdy and Welcome to MFK! Thanks for sharing pic's of your fish, any chance at a full tank shot?

 

[shovelyjoe]

Thanks guys.

My big tank is a bit of an eyesore at the moment as I have moved my Oscar and Gar in with my Shovelnose.
They are too small to live side by side at the moment (I have moved them from a much smaller tank so they have more room to grow). To do this I have had to put a divide in the tank to keep the Cat and my smaller stuff apart. Just for the time being while they plump up

Thanks for the welcome everyone

Ill get a full tank shot soon. Ill try and get a good shot of my shovelnose too. He's a beaut!

 

[shovelyjoe]

Heres a full tank shot. Sorry its not too clear.
You can see the divide to the left where the Shovelnose is. Its just a temporary thing while the Gar and Oscar grow a bit.

This last one is of my old Oscar. He suddenly changed personality then died. Was a real shame, he was cool!
