I was looking at a tiger lotus, I didn’t know they could get that big, but it does state that they need a lot of root room (6 inches or more), so I would have to put it in a pot, even in the 125 gallon tank as the soil/gravel is only […]
Shannon,
Husband is a military man, is he? That usually means periodic transfers, doesn’t it? In that case, your idea of container water gardens would be a good one. They would be easy to pick up and move with you, rather than leaving the pond behind. The clay is no fun to dig.
Probably the cheapest, and […]
That and I don’t have to count heads after Hannibal has a meal too It’s much nicer only replacing fish when they die of old age or an accidental illness, rather than every time one of the fish eats I find it really odd that my Severum doesn’t eat […]
Plants, a background (especially if no plants).
The Gouramis should grow to 6″ each so 18G per Gourami is a fair amount of water volume for each of them. That, along with the expected multiplication of Platy’s, unless you got all males, and you don’t really have any more room for more fish so your […]
Depends on the size of the fish you get (adult size, not current size). If you keep all the fish under a max of 3 inches at adult size then you could have at least 20 fish (all 3 inches or less, maybe more if you had smaller fish mixed in). Just remember […]
I must add that after getting rid of the catfish the rest of the fish in my tank seem much happier, and I have a lot more platy babies all of a sudden, I’d have to say someone just “popped” out babies Definitely less stressful having him in there, don’t have […]
I think his tail reached maybe an inch to an inch and a half away? That’s a guess since the fish is long gone, he left this afternoon. I have several pics to look at though and compare.
All I know is that he was as long as the piece of slate I had […]
Yes he is in a 5 gallon bucket in that photo, not a toilet bowl LOL.

He looks bigger than 6-7 inches, at least in TL. It looks like he reaches from side to side in the bucket, including the tail. I haven’t measured the diameter of the bottom a 5G bucket lately but it should be close to 12″… right? How much away is the other side […]
Yep, I’d say he ate 3 male guppy’s, 1 ram, and who knows how many baby platy’s Oh and I also lost a tetra or 2… yeah I’d say between the fish and the sinking pellets he was very well fed LOL Very pretty fish, I just don’t enjoy […]
