Playtime in the pond

My interest in the hobby has been awoken. How big is the pond? See you put the atf with everyone how have things been going with them? Did you measure everyone during transition? How's this aimara behaving with the larger fish? Cool to see the lince get so close. Still think the lince's activity is disturbing others? Lucy still the peace keeper sort of? I know you always said the knife gave you issues, how's he behaving? Sorry for all the questions lol been awhile and I just haven't been into fish lately.
Lets see here..... Pond I think is 18'x4'x3'. The Atf - I lost my biggest prized Tanzie in the move. He was the only one that was a loner. The rest have always been with rays or other fish. I don't fully trust this pond situation. I'm scared for the little ATF and am actually TRYING to sell it but no luck yet. Nothing but empty promises..... No, I didn't measure during transition but most of the preds in there are 18-24". Lucy is NOT being very tolerant of the Aimara - saw her picking on him the other day so one will have to be moved. The big knife seems much more passive in the pond -everyone does really, I think they really appreciate the room. The big knife is huge. I'd guess closing in on 30" and about 4 times as thick as the smaller Royal knife in there. The Lince - yes, I think it does bother the ATF, but everyone else seems to be fine. It was the armatus that REALLY hated the Lince.
Thanks for the interest Moe! Glad to hear posting the vid wasnt a complete waste of time. I wanted to get a vid up before I start seperating everyone as more tanks go up at the new place.

I've been waiting for your updates for awhile lol, I've only got my gold wolf now, haven't been very interested in my tank, he's become skittish without the curu and odoe. So I've been trying to figure out what fish I can get that'll keep my interest or if I wanna just take a break for awhile. Thinking of tats, maybe polyuranodon, if I could find them, gold just poses a threat, though he hadn't shown aggression to my Trachy or jag. Tryna go with something more peaceful than what I'm used to and that stays smaller, though the eels get long.
So you sparked interest in me again with your monsters, you know you do have some of my dream fish lol probably only missing three now with the dorado gone sadly. Wyckii and jau. Good to hear everyone is being more peaceful, sad to hear Lucy is throwing her weight around with the aimara, maybe the aimara tried to take her on one night after introduction when the hierarchy was being established and now she doesn't Ike him, I've seen that happen to many times in my own tank, I'd agree with separation, ime the one on the losing end usually doesn't make it, but that's if dislike is that high, sometimes things have been alright, my odoe and curupira for instance, think the odoe was the only one to get away with actually fighting back, everything else that did it was killed or severely beaten. Sorry to hear you lost the big tanzie, was a beauty for sure with those fins, he probably would've loved the space as well. There was a part in the second vid where you could see down the knifes mouth thought that was cool lol. Glad to hear everyone has settled with the lince's activity, except the newest additions, I remember you were worried in the 750' about it. Really a gorgeous fish.
When you have time I'd love to hear of the plans at the new place tank wise and who everyone will end up with.

Probably 1.5'.
Whats really funny but not really really funny is the potential for a 1.5' Tanzinian Tigerfish to be a feeder fish......... A mere snack.
DB is the one who took the dive and proved, with multiple specimens, aimara rep is false under the right conditions.
Yup. I remember getting into the hobby 17 years ago and there was always talk of the most badass fish. Rhom, wolf fish, atf, etc and it's amusing how these fish all for their reputation somehow can get bullied by something else. Still think a giant rhom is one of the ultimate but seeing how they top out at 17-18in they can't compete with the mega monsters that are 3ft+
