Adding an electric cat to my 125...two minutes and several electrocuted fish later, I learned my lesson...

Did the fish make it? :eek: What type of fish?
 
Sticking my finger in an alligator gar tank. They have a really good sense of smell, just to let you guys know.
 
thrown a couple hundred dollars of tangs together and hoped they would get along

GR8 posts like this help me to convince my father a 125 is OK on a 2nd story load bearing outer wall... maybe?... naw unlikly...

Haven't taken to many crazy fish risks... But I for some reason did trust a co-worker not to lock me into an adult anacondas exihibt once... Yeah that was fun... Thankfully I had handled the snake before and just left her alone 'n she left me alone. the people who came around the corner looking at the snakes did not find it funny... one lady was freaking out.. thankfully the tank wasn't sound-proof so I chatted 'em up about the snake while a different co-worker came around 'n let me out, crazy lady was somewhat embarassed when I explained wild thrashing and quick movements where not good for my sake in the cage. Just glad she was the mellowest anaconda I'de ever met. and I bought the co-worker who let me out lunch that day. The other one.. lets just say we never got along after that...
 
Awesome pics Dez...

Glad I could help MonsterMini...
 
Mine is buying a baby oscar and hoping it will tolerate smaller fish while they grow. seems to be good so far

Fahaka with angels, gymnogeos, and plecos. And a MBU with rays and discus. So far so good...and with not even a single nip from the Mbu!
