It looks empty and the fish look small but the fish are actually pretty good sized and have plenty of room. Though you can't tell,,,there's 20 fish in there

I love it! lol i like the mermaid too, and what's that red thingy waiving towards the back? I like that.

COBettaCouple

love the bali shark! how old is he?

sgould

Looking good!

Tom

Looks great, maybe you could put some live plants in there so it looks a little fuller. Or maybe some more decor.

I think that is an Iridescent Shark, in the bottom right pic.

That's a fake plant out of the broken ship..oh and the mermaid is actually has a bunch of little LED lites on it..looks really neat in the dark

TiffanyLuv

I just got him (well like 6 mos ago) he was alot smaller...everyone grows so fast eating the frozen blood worm cubes...though I have found that the silver dollars need vegatation,,so I'm either gonna get live plants (I've always worried about the liquid fertalizer) or the pellets

TiffanyLuv

I'm not sure but he is growing like a weed,,probabaly tripled in size in less than 6 mos

Tom

Is it this fish?

TiffanyLuv

Yup,,,that looks like him

bhcaaron

Show off!

Isabella

You've got the rainbows! You're so lucky

bhcaaron

Wow! Usually people only notice the rainbows once I walk into a room. Now you're telling me you can even see them in my posts?!? Ugh!

TiffanyLuv

I love rainbows,,I've noticed alot of LFS will keep them in their show tanks, but every now & then I find them for sale. Alot of times, if they do have them, it's hard to tell because they have very little color (all the stress I imagine)...but I know what they are

Tom

Why, because I am the Master of IDing?

Well you know how to have more than one quote per post and I don't(I also don't want to know so don't even try).
Tom

bhcaaron

No. You're just a show off. Master!? Maybe of mind idling! lol

Tom

If you check the Fish ID section, I think I have the most correct ID's there. Ask almost anyone(only the people who don't come on here and are my friends).
Tom

bhcaaron

Yep, show off.

Isabella

I have to personally admit that Tom is indeed very good at ID-ing fish - seen him do this very well

Tom

Told you. lol
Tom

Tom

Thanks for saying that, now here is the $20 I owe you. lol

I've had fish tanks for 27 yrs. so I've had or at least seen most of the stuff we have for sale here in Southern CA. This , tho, is the first fish forum Ive gone into. I really want to know more 'cause most of the stuff Ive learned from shopkeepers & a few friends who have owned stores. I had a Bali shark a loooong time ago & thought it was the same,but it has gotten much bigger much faster (CRIPES ) I think 140 gal should be big enough for him (hopefully). I do Have the silver dollars that I dont know the specific type and a lung fish maybe? I call him the loch ness monster. I cant get a good pic. When I do I'll post it. Also I've corrected my sig. info......I'm learning

Tom

I doubt that it is a lung fish because it would have probably eaten most of your other fish(mostly rainbows and the smaller fish).
Tom

I'll try to describe it,,it's about 5-6" long, has (2) fins behind gills, a spiked top fin that runs down most of it's body, beige in color and at the tail has nubs that look like they use to be legs. Face it too cute, wide frog like mouth and (2) like nostril tubes. He's got a wonderfull disposition,,loves swimming in the bubbles, but doesn't seem to have good eyesight (I have to make sure he gets a chunk of blood worms, but mostly he just cleans up the pieces that fall to the bottom from the other fish attacking the cube. Funny side note:my eel snatched the cubes right out of the silver dollars mouth,,,she's a funny one. ***here's a terrible pic, but thought it may give you an idea***

Tiffany, that'll be interesting to hear the input you can provide since your info came from mostly shop keepers, as you mentioned. So far, most of the info I've seen is book material, but, then again, I'm reading up on marine not fresh, but, somethings are similar.

TiffanyLuv

It looks like the Bichir (dang ur good), except the top fin is one continuous fin where as it looks like that fish has serparate fins on top. And what is the T...OGigas?,,,what a neat looking fish.

Jacko

A huge monster of a fish! They grow at least 9 feet in an aquarium but have been found at 15 feet in the wild, practically a giant arowanna.
Deffinatly sounds like a bichir, google image it, some have continuous spines, others seem to not have it. Might be something with age.

bhcaaron

Tiffany,

How is the 140G working for you? I just gave a deposit on a 145G which I'm getting (used) for $150. I get it that it is considered big (and I can't afford anything else ugh!), but, It really just seemed small to me. Maybe its because its a long as opposed to a tall, which I would prefer.

TiffanyLuv

WoW...never saw (1) of those before, it looks like a hefty fish. Mine is definately a birchir. I'm going to look more into it now that I'm home...Happy Friday. I had a busy day..here in So cal we have a couple of interesting crime trends (besides the usual identity theft etc) If any of you (here) have a toyota truck or 4runner people are stealing the catalytic converters and the 3rd row seats are being stolen from the Big SUVs,,especially Tahoes..Just a little info....
