Who Likes Chinese Fish Jerkey?

[exoticfishguy]

Last weekend, I woke up and found that my Chinese Tiger Fish was missing.

There were no pieces of it in the tank and there's no way any of the other fish could swallow the whole damn thing.

So I assumed it choked to death on a big piece of food (it always tried to swallow huge chunks of fish) and then the others tore it up and ate it.

But today I noticed a black smudge on the wall behind the tank so when I looked around, I saw my new fish jerky curing behind the stand.

Too bad...got this guy a year ago when it was 3" before it jumped out at 15".

I need to hassle Wesley more so he gets another shipment.

Bambusa is a must have!

So are heavier lids on my tank!!

Fortunately, I was able to replace the bambusa with a 15" flash tiger on Monday.

Still want another bambusa though....

what a tank!!!!

Thanks...it's so crowded though, I'm surprised that the fire marshall doesn't come over to clear the room.

Almost finished remodeling my house so it will be sold soon and a much bigger tank is going to be set up at the next place.

The 120"x48"x32" sitting in storage may be too small...might put it up for sale for cheap to help finance something much bigger for the new house.

Looks good Terry. Sorry to hear about your Bambusa. I still have mine and yes they are big jumpers. No matter how many times I walk by the tank the stupid fish wants to jump. Mine is really starting to grow fast now.

Ps- I want your caprapretum! Lol

Once my bambusa got over 8", it started to eat real aggressively and was growing like crazy. It wasn't nervous at all so I'm guessing it was bit by one of the other fish and rocketed out of my tank.

I'll probably have to wait till next year for another one unless someone sells me theirs...hint, hint

The catfish is growing like crazy too since it's been in the big tank...now it's bigger than the tigrinus but they get along just fine.
