Fish hobby!

also, incandescent and black lights are dangerous to fishes vision. stick to flourescent or the same lights we use to grow. Fish are people too! ...sorta. Oddly, less light - the better off you are. Too much light can increase stress and cause algae outbreaks.
 
Used to do alot of freshwater but it was the typical oscar and other south american chiclid breeding. Im all about the reptiles now lol. Still have a jack dempsey but thats all anymore. Thats quite the impressive setup.
 
We used to have a bearded dragon and leapord gecko as well. We've wanted to get a monitor, but space is limited. But overall, a large saltwater tank would be awesome. Just too expensive at this time.
 
1 green terror, 2 blood red parrots, 2 upside down catfish, and 2 little swap meet turtles lol they is funny like hungry hungry hippos!
 
Thanks guys! I've got a Electric Blue Jack Dempsey also. Very personable fish. Loves having a cave to build and adjust to his liking.
 
Nice fish everyone

i used ot have a 90g full of African cichlids, red jewls, electric blues, elec yellows, zerbas, capumas, peacocks and some pretty kewl and rare plecos...i miss it alot :(

i used to have some other fish to thru the years, mostly cichilds but south americans, like jack dempseys, oscars and red devils..but they fight to much lol Africans IMHO are the nicest lookin fresh water fish you can buy...not cheap but they have kewl habits
 
i had to move every one from my terror. hes a butt head fer shur he picks on everyone ezcept the upside down catfish. pff whats a funnier fish than an upside downd cat one?

I am happy to say that i've seen all the fish posted, in real life :)

Even the lion fish!

How do you get the lion fish out of the tank when your cleaning it or whatever... fuck those lion fish are NASSSty!
 
just use a net i guess.

they are actually an invasive species around my area. every time we go diving we kill any lion fish around. they are good eating if you can get around the spines.:mrgreen:
 
welcome to my... 'tank'

I wigged into the cockpit, and through all the fish, and found some broken floor, and crawled into it, and looked upside down, saw this guy... and put it on macro... he was a cool little guy, stood still for me. Had a nice little family too


Amazing how life goes on... bet the japaneese guy who went down on the plane in ww2 shot down by americans probably didn't consider how americans might be scuba diving on it to see it in 60 years..

It just goes to show you can't even IMAGINE lifes plan. And Irony i suppose! :lol:





Florida.... your a diver?? Dude. Master Diver right here!!! I was thinking about going for Dive Master this summer but some shit kind of came up. Any chance your a pro?

Can we dive? we share everything :lol: herbs..psychadeli's... horticulture.. and water 8)
