Fish Tanks
 

Anyone have any? We just bought a 20 gallon tank Friday, we put it all together and now have a few small fishies in it until the cycling process is done.

So what do you have? I'll try to post some pics when I can get my computer to stay running long enough.

Me and my friend were going to put together a huge ass salt water tank. He has a 55 gallon tank. Then we did all the estimate and the one we wanted to create costed about 9 grand for what we wanted so we said fuck that.

My parents have a 60 gallon saltwater tank. Thing is a bitch to keep clean...

^ I know what you mean. My parents, too, have a 60gallon saltwater tank on a built in shelved wall. I'll hafta take pics next time I visit them. Cleaning is a bitch because they don't do it all at once. They do it little by little because some specialist told em that. [shrugs] We have two Siamese ALgea Eaters in there and they eat the plant more than they actually clean the tank. I dunno, salt water fish seems dumb in comparison to fresh water.

salt water tanks look 100x better than regular old fresh water ones, i'd like to do one someday.

uhhh we just have a normal fishtank with a neon fish and a goldfish in it.. we use to have like 3 goldfish, 2 neon fish and a sucker fish but most of them died.. we've gone through at least half a dozen goldfish and a couple beta fishes.. yea we suck at this fish thing..

I used to have a 40 gallon salt water tank at my apartment back at Ga Southern.. My roomie was working on it and I bought her 3 seahorses, a sea cucumber, and a sea star. The sea star and one of the sea horses are still living.. the others died :(. Our next door neighbors at our townhouse complex had 140 gallon salt water tank and had imported all his stuff from miami coast. The boy has moneh!!!!

i think im gonna get one in my next apt... im moving out of here in 5 months or so and wouldnt be worth setting up, cause they dont move well :D

Salt water tanks are nice, but me being a begginner figured I'd try to get a Fresh Water tank up and running first. I'll be happy if I can keep these alive. :D

I had some cheap fish in a cheap tank a long time ago.
They all died

^ me too. i used to buy 99cent gold fish. :D

my cousin on the other hand is all about that shit. he has over 10 tanks of salt water and normal water fish. he has over 4-5grand invested. its crazy shit.

I have a 35 gallon, it's hard to tak pics of but here are a couple. There r more fish in the tank than what you can see, I have couple of cool ones but I couldn't get their pics.

And this is my shark. I used to have pirhannas but they got so huge and died cus the tank was to small. But they were cool as hell.

Is that an iridescent shark? If so, that thing will get BIG too.

My aquarium CLICK HERE

In the next few days the adult plec and adult cory will be put in. I'm also picking up some leopard danios and some more live plants.


You realize that your "shark" (also a catfish) will get bigger than your pirhannas right? We're talking feet here, not inches....

i thought fish just grew to the limits of whatever tank they're in?

That's a pretty common misconception. Very few fish do that. Goldfish do. Which is probably where that came from.

Yeah it's an ID shark. They said it will get about 13 inches.

I used to have piranhas, too, but they died after we moved and got rid of the fresh water tank. Are they illegal in any of the states you guys live in? I used to buy the $0.89 goldfish to feed to the Piranhas and remember the employees at Petsmart told me they were illegal..

I have 2 30 gallon ones, a 40 galloon one, 3 10 gallon ones, a miniature fresh water pond for my kois, and various little jars/bottles/whatever you want to call them to keep fishes that do not need filtering/oxygen.

Dude whered you get your shark fish and your pirhanas? I would love to have some.

I got the shark from Big Al's, and the pirhannas I got from Super Pet.

ID sharks have been known to grow over 48" in the right condition. That probably wont happen in a tank, but it really depends on how you feed him. He will probably grow closer to 20" or so.

I can buy a Red - Bellied Pirannah from the local pet store, so I'm guessing they are legal here.

Pirhannas are legal here (oHIo). Or at least I can buy them from the fish store.
;)

Watch what you get from SuperPetz. They are known for there ICH problems.

Are you able to move around anywhere? lol

I can see myself getting another tank or two soon. I'd love to get a 125-150 gal. but I think my downstairs neighbors would ge tmad when it fell through the floor.

^pictures a 125gal tank falling threw the floor....LOL

Haha, my house is 2-story and my pond is in the backyard..so yeah I have plenty of space :yes: .

If you can, take a pic of your pond for me! My dad is a sucker for Koi..he wants his own pond but mom says no. :D

I'd love to have one also. I'm just not sure how I could make it work in my yard.
