| Anyone here like aquariums like I do? I have a 150G aquarium with an Aquaclear 110/Fluval FX2 filters, an amazon heater and air pump, and a hygger light. My main man, Hiro, is a Red Spotted Severum. I also have an EBA, his mate died a few weeks ago, and I hope to get him a new ole lady. I ALSO have two Bala Sharks, two Burmese Upside Down Catfish, three Bloodfin Tetras, a ropefish, two Firemouth Cichlids (which have been HARD AS HELL to keep alive) and two Siamese Algae Eaters.. I gotta find my phone so I can upload more photos of my fish. Used to have dojo loaches and clown loaches til a vicious bout of fungal infections stole them from me. My dojos had reached 10 inches in length. | |

| I really like aquariums I have a small one with some little betas just for veiwing pleasures at the moment but I have had a Bala Shark that grew pretty big but died from old age. and an angel fish. I dont remember what killed him. Don't remember what size tank I got right now but she just got some smaller fishies in it now. I really like these tiny catfish I got it mine right now. | |

| Yea, I haven't had an aquarium in YEARS but when my fiancée let me know she was pregnant, I knew that I had to get an aquarium lol especially when we moved into this "new" house that has a room with a concrete slab. Now, when my baby girl gets cranky and just wants to cry, I carry her down and let her watch my fish. She "generally" hushes and just stares in amazement at the fish.
Also got plans to get a 55G tank and make a "Native species" aquarium. Some minnows, bluegill, etc. | |

| Who doesn't love fish! I would love to get what I think they call Barking Catfish? They look real neat but I think they need kinda of a big tank and are kinda predatory so they would not fit into my current environment | |

| @Slipperz tbh, I would join MonsterFishKeepers.com if I were you. That forum is an almost inexhaustible well of knowledge. I think if I get another mammoth tank, I'll probably get electric eels. Those are cool as hell. Good luck to me doing tank maintenance tho lmao | |

| We have a creek on our property filled by natural springs so it never goes dry and I put out different fish traps and log what I catch LOL The stuff I've caught include green sunfish.pumpkin seed. Mudcat. Blue cat. Channel cat. Pickerel. Pirate perch. Creek chubs. Chubsuckers. Bronze darter's. And mosquito fish which are actually part of the guppy family and they make really good pets and eat about 300 mosquito larva a day and are my favorite fish | |

| @OutbackJack That sounds like a great place. I will have to check it out. I am sure Electric Eel would be cool. Anyone remember the River Monster episode were Jeremy Wade found a whole mess of them in a puddle? That was wild. @ranch king pro 08 I catch all kinds of fish in our irrigation creek too. Big Channel Catfish, Shiners (A sort of whitefish we just call em shiners here) We have even seen like some Walleyes near the mount of our creek. | |

| I love a good aquarium, haven’t had one in the house in a long time. Mom always kept goldfish in one. I remember when me and my brother were little he scratched the silicone out of the corner of a tank and it started leaking. Pretty sure we both got whooped for that one | |
