Hahaha.....how yaz doing man? Haven't seen yaz postin too much lately? How be zee spectabilez doing? Can't wait till those myseri are ready! Besides, not entirely sure its a ven....they are variable, but i've never seen one with that many spots....plus the greenish operculum, gill cover, whatever, seems kinda offish. Almost reminds me of a strigata....

kidddddddd, that was supposed to be a secret


mannnnnnn, my dominate male spectabile is a bastiddddddd of mega proportions. In a big setup like the one ive got, he still manages to beat up on the female , he's a wife beater, so he doesn't want to pair up for me. She needs a new home with some tlcccccccccc for sureeeeeeee, and picsssss soon, i swears it dude, swears ittttt.


ahahha, i've taken a break because ive needed ittttttt

I've heard they are wicked, (if your a fish) A friend of ours told us while at a pet store, he watched them as they picked off the feeders one by one, you saw the pike look at the feeders, then in a flash all you saw was the tail, as the pike took one more swallow. Is that true? Do they?

the guy who bagged him for me said this guy relentlessly chased comets. i will be trying pellets and tilapia at first to try and wean him from live food. its been hard in the past for me with pikes.

very cool looking pikes, whatever they are. good luck getting them onto prepared foods.
