Hello all! Since I introduced myself, I thought I'd post some of my "monster" fish... :D

2.5 gallon nano
Male betta/freshwater flounder/flying fox
Red sea nano filter
Mini heater
12" Under-cabinet Lowe's light


He's about three now, just over the hill.







The baby flounder.




60 gallon
Goldfish/betta/apple snail (Pomacea Bridgesii)
Rena Filstar xp3
Whisper air pump
48" Lowe's shop light

This is Napoleon. He started the madness. I won him at a local fair two years ago. He was under 1 inch then. Now he's 10 inches. He survived the goldfish bowl, major illnesses, and now he's got a nice big house.





He's very fierce. Really. Promise.


You rang?




Upstart came home from the LFS with a friend, Rascal. Rascal didn't make if too long. She's grown almost 8 inches in about a year and a half, and gone from mostly orange to pure white.





Sakura, a 7" shubunkin.




Morris, a 3" baby fancy. A petsmart rescue. When I got him, I was sure I would have to find a new home for him, since I have swift swimmers and he's just a little round guy. However, he's been holding his own. Rock on, little dude.








The lovers.


Alexei, a 5" baby comet:


The classic goldfish suck, sift, and spit routine:




Notice the snail creeping up on her:




Shiny fish!


The betta girls:











And the reigning king:





And two of the snails:






Here's the catfish.



The me-fish.



And the boyfriend... uh.. fish. :D




Whew. That's everyone! Hope you enjoyed.

Nice looking goldfish you have. That white one is pretty cool looking. I have a feeder gold fish that went from about 3/4" to 8" in a year. Probably the most active fish in the tank, pretty fun to watch.

great fish and great shots!
The only problem I see in all of those pictures is the Canon strap around the boyfriend-fish's neck

/Nikon fanboy:)

Haha, thanks everyone! I was afraid my monsters are too cute to hang with the pacus and GATFs.... :D

And we're all canon for the digital work... but I still have my old Nikon FM! It just won't die. :headbang2
