you dirty sun of a

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Not much to know about silver aros...pretty common fish and not exactly hard to keep. They're sold at all the local stores as babies with the eggsacs dangling so that is nothing special and requires no "expert" care.

I have some heavy duty plastic bags that I use, not the fish bags from your local fish store... no problems here. Anyways, if they do spring a leak, it's plastic and disposable...still way better to use than a towel that will shred your fish's fins, scales and barbels. An "expert aro keeper" like yourself should know that most of the time when damaged, this stuff never grows back the same. Then again, when you keep the cheap aros, it doesn't really matter does it? The expensive ones, well that's a whole different story that you clearly know nothing about.

I have a 3 foor Niger cat. Wonder what that would do to a plastic bag :screwy:

Yup I agree, wet towel to get a large fish out of the tank and a cooler to transport it. I don't thing the OP was talking about large gold fish....

I don't think we're talking about niger cats either, are we?

You don't really seem to know what I'm referring to, so maybe you should butt out.

with aros towels don't always damage them the fish i have done this with have relaxed in the towel. you said "other large fish" so maybe you should rethink your place in this thread. you seem to run your mouth alot yet never seem to stay true to your statements. you can't do it, so just stop before you look even more retarded if that is possible. how many eggsack aros do you see in stores? i have seen none. i have had them shipped to me like this. how many aros have you raised from eggsacks? they are very very fragile at that size, but you being the expert know this right. what "expensive aro" is harder to keep at eggsack or at all harder to keep then any other aro. you just put your foot right down your throat while looking stupid now dont you.

exotic, your also the same guy that said Armatus vampires dont live in 80+ degree water, that the water isnt that warm where they come from. Sorry to bust your bubble, but they live right on the equator, and it doesnt get much hotter than the equator unless you start digging toward the center of the earth. This statement along with the dumbass comparing pacu's to tigers statement is enough for me to question your knowledge of characins, to put it mildly. Pacus grow extremely fast and are tall and thick fish, thus more space requiring, while tigers are VERY slow growing and slender. In the long run both need huge tanks, but to compare these 2 fish is utter stupidity. You talk like you have experience, but every tank and community, and situation is different, and there are a lot of factors to consider, that can affect fish behavior. People have kept tigers together successfully, so it certainly is possible. Just a matter of finding the right circumstances and a dose of good luck, but it can be done. Dont be so harsh, fronting like you have all this knowledge and experience, saying this cant be done while this can, when you blunder around making foolish and incorrect comments about very basic facts... maybe you should zip it before you stick your other foot in your mouth ... just an intelligent suggestion, but i think intelligence probably escapes you as well....

thank you for beating me on that, i was at work so i am in catch up mode.

Wow, looks like it was a Death Blow! I remember Li had a couple/few 8-10" Goliaths together.

To bad, w/2 pieces I would def seperate now.

it was a random death blow then my rope fish picked at it. the fins were perfict till them ropfish found it twitching. i am working on that and will be selling atleast one.

No actually wiggles wrote most of the stickies

no actually i did, then when ryan became mod he changed them again, if you look closly on them "sbuse, hao, wiggles" those are names listed right at the top were it says authors. just check moreclosely before you look like exoticfishdork.

Wiggles redid the stickies recently to reorganize them and make the info more accessible. Before, some of them were done by Scott.

thanks special k :thumbsup:.......dont get cute with that i mean in the retarded way.....:ROFL:
 
here is the gatf being recycled. i have this in the bowfin/gar section, but since it is the dead fish being put to good use i thought it could go in this thread. but then again i don't know what i am doing to some people.

thanks. those large gars are 19"-20" or so. as you can tell from the 5" gatf being so small. i have a full update on them in the gar media section, if your interested.

I never mentioned pacu's so I'm not sure I follow your rant...get off the crack pipe son.

BTW, the armatus I have were collected in a region where the water is not 80+ degrees so get your facts straight. Maybe that will keep you from killing them over and over...personally, the ones I've had all made it to 20" before I sold them....can you say the same?
 
Because you spend more for a fish makes you an "expert" :ROFL:

Where I'm from we call that something else, but expert works. I have some expensive golf clubs, maybe you can buy them and be an expert golfer too.....

Listen up smartass, the more expensive ones I'm referring to are the ones you can't get here in the States...you're missing the point because you're too stupid to understand my posts. Let me spell it out for you: this guy claims to be an aro expert but I'm sure he's never has anything more than a common silver or maybe a black. Not a really hard fish to take care of. Myself, I've not always lived in the U.S. so I've had my share of other aros....get it now?
 
Ohhh! I want to argue too!

You are all noobs!! FISH ARE NOT MEANT TO BE KEPT, THEY'RE MEANT TO BE EATEN! I will eat your GATF, silver arro, pacu, whatever you have. Throw it my way and I'll definitely kill it, pan fry it, and then drizzle lemon all over it.

I got the ultimate fish keeping aquarium...MY STOMACH!
