Pics Of My Tanks

[gothicangel69]

Here is my 30 gallon amazon tank. It houses one spotted climbing perch, two kribs, two bolivians, four cories, and one chinese algae eater. (and Mr.Perches food)

My 55 gallon, which houses an oscar, two angelfish, and two plecos.

My 15 gallon newt tank. It houses 15 white cloud minnows, six snails, and a paddletail newt.

Beautiful pictures. I really enjoyed looking at them.

I was wondering, what type of catfish is the pink and brown one?
I had one once, but it grew so big and ate nearly everything else in the tank, I had to give it to a friend with a bigger tank/fish.

South African fiends of mine say they used to catch them for food, and hang them in a bag in a tree.
Often the fish would slither out of the bag and find their way back to the lake.

Sorry for going off the thread, but it's a while since I saw one.

Once again, beautiful pictures.

The fish in that picture is a Clarius Walking Catfish. They reach two feet in lenght and can be pretty aggressive. They can also servive out of water for up to two hours. They're known as pests in most places since they will wipe out the fish population in one pond, and then just 'walk' to another one and do the same thing. They can also survive in very polluted water and can go long periods without eating.
I had to get rid of mine since it started attacking my OScar and almost killed it.

Nice photos.
But do you know that most of the fish in your "amazon" set up are not from the Amazon?
The Chinese algae eater is from centeral Thailand and India, and Kribs from western Africa and the Ctenopoma is from the Zaire river in Africa (it also has no need at all for feeder fish).

Also just watch out for the Oscar and the Angelfish, it may well kill them. They will also need a larger tank along with the plecs.

Having said that, the Oscar and Ctenopoma look great!

I agree with severum boy.
Aswell as killing the Angelfish, the Oscar will be producing large amounts of waste which may be too much for a 55g tank.
Alll the fish do look very nice though

Be catious of the Clarius, it wont take long for it to get much biggger, too big for the 55g.

He did say he got rid of it mate.
