I used to own a salt walter talk, with an assortment of awesome fish, but had to move... so they stayed behind : (

I then got a tropical fish tank... which was great untill someone decided to unplug the filter for a few days, they all died bar one lonely angel fish..

In my next house the misses and I will start up another salt water tank, I cannot wait =D

[S2_VR_]

Hozy your brothers tank is ****ing insane!!!.... haha i used to have a 6x2x1... it was good but in the end i had a massive carp in there that i caught from the river... but swapped the tank for a drumkit....

now when tax comes back i'm thinking of setting aside $300 and buying some nice fish

The misses used to do all the maintenance lol.

It didn't require to much maintence, but we used to change 1/3 of the water every month. Used to use salt water from the local pet shop...

have a festae, used to be in a tank with about 5 other fish, and decided to eat them.

so removed him and put him in his own bigger tank, and put a couple of bigger fish in there thinking he would calm down, but he ate the bigger fish aswel. so now is in a bigger tank by himself.

[gopher]

i have
2 large bristlenose catfish bigger than 20 cm got them when they were about 2 cm long
1 large oscar about 25 cm about 5 cm long when i got it
1 freshwater eel about 40 cm got him when he was about 10 cm long

well since your offering... lol...

what maintenence is due to keep saltwater fish??... like what do yu need to buy?. or add to the water?... and how often?..

i think i'll stick to tropicals for now but later on i wouldnt mind having some salt water fish...

[VjamesY]

Ive got two tanks with Australian bass.
Ive got a big tank in the garage which is home to 3 bass around 15cm which we caught wild in summer. Ill probably let them go in about a month, I feel slack because they really don't belong in a tank.

And in the other tank which is in my bedroom I have 2 young bass about 4-5cm. That tank is set up just like a tropical tank with driftwood, plants etc
I'm going to get more as I originally had 4 but 2 died.

Bass are awsome fish to have in a tank, especially when you feed them crickets they go crazy!

Ive had a fishtank/tropical fish for the last 8 years, its great having fish, they are the best animal

First time I had ever had it in one of my tanks by the time I found out what it was it was to late

[Troy711]

Mat, that marine setup of your brothers is awesome, I wish I had the time to keep one similar. I'd hate to think of what he has spent on it over the years.


My parents have a tropical setup, nothing overly fancy. They have a ghost knife who is about 35cm long

[S2_VR_]

My parents... have a ghost knife who is about 35cm long

HOLY SHIT!! hahah i've only ever seen those buggers like 10-12cm long, they are by far one of my favourite fish but i have only ever had 1. they look soo cool...

[Troy711]

They got it when he was about 5cm and he won't stop growing!

[GAMBLR]

I left my Betta in my brother's care when I moved...
Suffice to say he wasn't quite the animal person I was but I'll be getting another one soon

3x ghost knifes
2x bristle nose
3x medium loached
3x small loaches
2x something-or-other shark
2x something or other glass fish

Had something go through the tank a few weeks back so i lost a few, just waiting for it to all settle (which is appears to have) then look at adding a couple more.
