Hey guys, I just came up with an idea, I know that something like this has been done on numerous occasions but never in in place, at least that I can find. Let's list wet pets by tank sizes from 10 to 300. They don't have to be monsters just interactive with there owners. No communities, just one fish. If possible please provide pictures and speak from personal, or close experience. No speculating, I would like this to be a sticky. Thanks.
I'll go first:
125 gallon
Tilapia Buttikoferi
Very interactive with everything outside of my aquarium. He/she was part of a community that included a snakehead, redtail catfish, 2 pacu, a 4-lined pictus and various other cichlids. I ended up keeping it and the pictus while getting rid of the other fish when we moved, I was a kid. I wish I had kept the snakehead, they were still legal then. Anyway I had put some comets in as feeders and they went from 1" to 8"-10" because the tilapia was feeding them by chewing up food and spitting it at in front of the. This lasted for a few years until it just started killing them off, I was able to rescue the pictus.
At fist I didn't want a goldfish tank but they did grow on me. By the time I had a power outage while being out of town, this fish was trying to attack my mom's poodle, which I have seem him stare down pitts and go after coyotes.
