I am aware that in a year I will need to upgrade. But this is the day. Carpe diem! Compliments are hard to come by around here, unless you are CFC or someone like that. ~WeeMan~

I don't believe it is overstocked. I know the minimum for a Oscar is 55 gallons but everyone has plenty of swimming and growing room. The sharks are small, just small enough not to be a meal. The leporinus can be is agressive at times, but everyone is so scared of the Oscar that they hide from...

I definitely think that guppies would look great. They are great community fish that get along and look pretty. Or, if you do not like guppies, than cardinal tetras or neon tetras look amazing in a good sized shoal. That's just my two cents... ~WeeMan~

I am not sure if I am right, but that is one HUGE cory! ~WeeMan~

Looks lovely! I love the cardinal tetras. If I didn't have my oscar, balas, and my tinfoil barb in my 55 gallon I would get as many cardinal tetra as I could and have a whole shoal of them! Great aquascape, too. ~WeeMan~

That is freaking awesome! I live about 30 minutes away from Cape Coral near a canal. I never hear a thing. I have friends that have a canal as their backyard, they have never complained about a thing either. :( I want to hear it in person! ~WeeMan~

No. Balas and guppies don't mix. Balas are semi agressive, I have had a few. They are better in groups but get rather large. I would wait on getting the balas or get a big new tank. That's my two cents. ~WeeMan~

Well I have: 1 tiger oscar 1 leporinus 1 tinfoil barb 5 guppies 6 neon tetra 1 marble lyre tail 1 silver lyre tail Not all in the same tank, folks! I promise! Running Total: 11160

Pretty nice! I wish my parents had made tanks for me when I was that young. What is in the front on the bottom of Kurt's tank? Looks like a bubble strip of sorts. Cool graffiti, too. ~WeeMan~

Absolutely stunning! I love it! ~WeeMan~

Yeah, I think I know what he means, my oscar is a filter feeder, too. He sucks in a bunch of rocks, then swishes them around in his mouth then spits the stuff he can not eat out of his gills. I take it that is what he meant... ~WeeMan~

Earlier this evening I was replacing a few plants that my tiger oscar graciously knocked over for me and I tried petting him... he ran from me like a crazy fish. He is lucky that he has 55 gallons to run in. ~WeeMan~

At first I felt stupid because I did not know the species, but I feel better now. :blush: The way he/she eats reminds me of my adult tiger oscar, he is a big fatty fatty! ~WeeMan~

Very nice! Are they a type of cichlid? Maybe something like a ram? ~WeeMan~

Absolutely stunning Angels. I have always wanted an Angel tank. ~WeeMan~

Wow! Very impressive, I have often dreamed of doing something like that. ~WeeMan~

Sorry to hear about your loss, it's always hard when you lose a fish. I still remember my first one, I was young and crushed, I cried for an hour. I am man enough to admit it, yes I am. R.I.P. ~WeeMan~

Those are some really nice photos, Oscar. You must have a nice camera. ~WeeMan~

Who's a dirty crayfish? You're a dirty crayfish! You're a lean mean sex machine, crayfish, can ya' dig it? ~WeeMan~ P.S. I hope he cuddled afterwards.

I agree, I wouldn't put guppies in something like that. Try some nice rainbow gouramis. They are colorful, somewhat large, and not too hard to take care of. Just a suggestion of course... ~WeeMan~

Yeah, she is a pretty girl, but do not tell her because her head is big enough as it is. I put her out by the pool sometimes and she runs into the net of our pool cage trying to run on our back lot. She walks up and down the net trying to find a place to escape, she's crazy! ~WeeMan~

So I finally got new fishes today! This tank was made just for my girlfriend so she went and picked out all the fish, I think she did a bang up job! The stocking as of now consists of: 5 guppies (3 female, 2 male) 3 neon tetra 1 marble lyre tail 1 silver lyre tail Soon we will be adding: 3...

If you looked at the pictures it shows my makeshift support (Craftsman tool set) until I can get another piece made. When she gets bigger she will have her own room in whatever dwelling I will have. But that wont be for a long while, so I am not worried. ~WeeMan~

That's a cool looking fish. Don't they tend to get very large? ~WeeMan~

Very nice setup. I can tell you put a lot of thought and effort into this tank. I wish you much luck and look forward to seeing what else you are going to do with it. Good luck! ~WeeMan~

Zebra plecos are really cool and do not get that large, I really wanted one but couldn't find one. ~WeeMan~

Here is my turtle named Pookie. She is a yellow slider. She is very dramatic and loves to act like a fool for company. She is a grumpy woman (but then again that isn't a rarity) and will run like hell to get far away from my dog and cat. So yes, my house totals 10 animals of all species and...

Thanks for the compliments. I did make it from scratch. I had bought a turtle tank yesterday off of a kid in my area, and the rocks came with it. I have seen people who use rocks to build pyramid-type structures. The pyramid has holes in between the rocks that the fish swim in between, know what...

Hey everyone, I got new stuff! Yay! Go me! I decided that the tank I had my turtle in was just too small for her, after all she was in a 25 gallon fish tank, which is definitely not made for a freakin' turtle. So I check out Craig's list and found a huge 40 gallon turtle tank with light, sheet...

They are about 5-6". I have never seen them do it after food, I find it quite amusing when they were doing that. Thanks for responding! ~WeeMan~

Hey everyone, not sure if this should be labeled as an emergency, but I think my balas were spawning. The other day I noticed that the balas weren't doing their usual chasing and playing routine. They were rubbing together. I went on Google to check out everything and I found this link here...

I have never heard of not keeping neons with plattys, either. I would worry about the Oscar and the Beta, especially together. I have a Tiger Oscar and he pretty much runs the place, be careful and good luck! ~WeeMan~

Undergravel filter, eh? I have heard reports of people with crayfish, shrimp, and other small bottom dwellers that have gotten sucked into an under gravel filter. I have never personally experienced this, but I thought I would just throw it out there in case. ~WeeMan~

Wow...just wow! You my friend, have just made my, along with probably every one else's, biography. You did a great job on putting the "chapters" together. You have beautiful fish and I envy your ability to get so many tanks and fish. Job well done! ~WeeMan~

Very nice setups! I really like the amazon set up. Beautiful Oscar! ~WeeMan~

Nice tank! If you didn't want to get a common pleco, have you considered other species? Corydoras, chinese algea eaters, etc. I know there are a lot of Cory fans that could help you chose the perfect species for your tank! Good luck. ~WeeMan~

Very nice tank. I love the setup. I was thinking myself of getting a gold nugget pleco. Got any close ups of the fishes themselves? Cheers! ~WeeMan~

Very nicely done! A fine quality indeed. Maybe you should make more, and sell them. You never know... ~WeeMan~

You might also want to consider their feeding patterns. Fish that aren't as hungry have a tendency not to fight. Also, what are the sexes of the fish in question? Not sure if any of that info will help, but it's worth an examination. ~WeeMan~
