Show Us Your Biggest Fish!

Thought it would be fun to see all the big guys out there. I know mine's not going to get the biggest award but I'll start with my 1 year old fish called Gold (son named him). He lives with 2 other fancies in a 55 gallon. He really likes to eat LOL. I measured him at 6.5 inches from nose to tip of tail and then 4 inches of just his body.

On a side note I think I need to get more aeration going in my tank. I used to think having 2 separate filters on each end was enough but looks like he's breathing fast...a single bubbler wouldn't have much affect in a 55 gallon would it. Any suggestions?

 

Apparently I don't have any recent picture of just him, but here's my male peacock/yellow lab @ about 5 inches, 2ish years old. He's the boss of the 55gal tank.



Note that the smaller white and grey fish are his children with the all yellow girl (sister) in front of him.

 

My Golden Dojo Loach named YettI - he is 9.5 inches at around 3.5 - 4 years old.

1. What kind of catfish is (s)he
2. What are the cat claw things in the background?

I'm assuming you like catfish considering the other fish in the photo.

 

Asian red tail and that's the bio-media out of my worthless Sunsun canister.

My word he's gorgeous! My three are all in the 7-8" range but are all under a year. Wow I'm hope they get that big.

That's a cool looking fish. Do they normally live that long?

 

I think my biggest two are my marble pearlscale angelfish (male about 7 inches tall or more, his body is about four from top to bottom) and my 5 inch albino (female) bristlenose (she dwarfs her boyfriend).
