Redtail catfish.. ive always wanted one

[kyle12]

maybe

[Web Gazelle]

With a tank that big, get yourself a school of Bala Sharks. I bet you could even get them to breed if you keep water conditions optimal.

[born2lovefish]

couple stingrays with a big group of large clown loaches...

[tai95]

kinda strange that you just got water in your tank today, but the picture in the link was posted in 2003.

[dorkfish]

kyle12, what are the dimensions on this tank you claim to have?

[RockabillyChick]

[Ghost_knife]

one thing, unless you live in an office complex thats not possible. the picture came from 2003. it's also built in so if you just filled it there would be evidence of it just being installed, IE dust and such...nice try though

[kyle12]

the pic is from 2003 because the old owner had it filled for display. but when i moved in we took all the water out but now i had it filled again. ok?

[debaric]

**** kyle12, sounds like you have some jealous people in here...

i would do a south american redtail cat, i know a guy who had one and said that when they were playing beer pong in the basement and the ball would hop into the tank, the redtail would attack it, lol.

[dorkfish]

ok?

NO, it's not ok, what are the dimensions? you should be able to tell me with no problems if you actually have the tank.

And debaric, I am not jealous one bit, I know what the price tags on upkeep on those tanks are. If kyle12 actually has this tank, and properly maintains it (atleast 300g in water changes a week, 1200g a month), he will be blown away by the water and electric bill.

[debaric]

dude, all the guy said was he wants suggestions on stocking his tank and some of you are doubting whether hes telling the truth? And who said anything about maintenance and water changes? Learn how to read, he said he just got the tank and its filled with water, and wants to know what to stock it with. Let the guy explain himself before you jump down his throat.

Im sure you have all heard of penis envy? Well, it sounds like there is another type of envy going on in here, lol.

[graphicdesign_r]

kyle12 is a little kid with too much time on his hands, social dysfunction, and lack of friends. He thinks people here will think he's cool if he lies about having a huge tank.

Even if he did have one, people here reading his posts realize he couldn't possibly be responsible enough to care for such a tank, nor would he be smart or dedicated enough to learn how.

Personally, I feel some pity for this sad little monkey. Doesn't mean I won't keep trying to make him go away though. Eradicate all trolls.

I seriously hope you have some basis for an attack like that. Does the kid have a history of being a liar? I have no clue but if you are judging him without any proof that he is lying then you are a tool.

[graphicdesign_r]

Yes, read some of his posts. The kid is a moron.

You're defending him so I guess you're a moron too.

You called me a tool, so I'll call you a pickle smoker.

How's that you fish queen? Happy?

you're pretty much a tool based on that post where you felt the need to tear someone apart like that. If you dont like what he has to say then ignore him, I dunno call me a hero but i dont like when people attack others on here especially dimwits such as yourself. I'm sure outside of the message boards you wouldnt dare say such things in person.

[fishcatch22]

How's that you fish queen? Happy?c'mon, you SOB!! he's just a little kid trying to impress his peers! don't smash him just for trying to fit in with us cool super-aquarists! and he's a troll! so what? aren't all little kids trolls? you sound like someone with no life who has nothing better to do than smash little kids dreams. :mad: :mad2: (P.S. you are a T-O-O-L!!!)

[Red Tailed Wonder]

guys calm down!!!!!!

[Rowangel]

How much weight would a tank like that have? Wonder if you'd have to reinforce the floor supports...

[debaric]

weight wise well i gallon of water is 8lbs so do the math, i would say that you would have to have something like that on a first floor or else you will have to so some serious reinforcing. i cant even fathom (no pun intended) what a tank that size even looks like setup.

[Red Tailed Wonder]

this guy has no such tank!

[tai95]

**** kyle12, sounds like you have some jealous people in here...

i would do a south american redtail cat, i know a guy who had one and said that when they were playing beer pong in the basement and the ball would hop into the tank, the redtail would attack it, lol.


Not jealous at all Just would like some actual proof of the tanks existance. It's obvious from other posts that Kyle12 has made, that he has access to a digital camera of some kind. So why not just take a picture of the tank instead of just linking to a site that has a picture from 2003? Also from his other posts he has a severly overstocked 29gal that he just set up. Why would you waste your time and money on a 29gal if you had an 1100gal tank? This site has had a serious troll problem lately and people are gettind tired of dealing with them maybe that's the reason for all the harsh comments.

[DaisyTattoo]

Well, there ya go. Kyle, take a new pic of the tank. If you can't then please stop wasting everyone's time. Simple as that.

[tai95]

How much weight would a tank like that have? Wonder if you'd have to reinforce the floor supports...

At 1100galsX 8.34lbs/gal the water alone would weigh 9174lbs not counting the weight of the tank itself plus the gravel and other misc. stuff. Everything all together a tank that size would be around 11-12 thousand pounds.

[Zen4t5]

Why are troll posts always the longest posts? I don't mind they also tend to be the most entertaining. Hey guys I am going to convert the first floor of my house in to one big tank. I want it planted. Do you think I need co2? I was thinking of cycling the tank with dolphins. Are there any aquatic trees? How many snails should I get? How hard is it to attach a freakin laser to a shark? Does anyone else have any exp with this? :huh:

[Wishful]

Well, it wasn't stocked with sharks or snails, but I was once party to converting someone's entire living space into a tank. :)

One of our resident advisors in college had a 12'x12' basement room. He was gone for two weeks. We broke into his room and constructed a pvc pipe and pondliner pool that went wall to wall, leaving out only the space around his raised bed (desk was under the bed). Filled it with 12" of water and 30 feeder goldfish. Amazingly enough, we only lost a couple of the goldfish. Said remaining gold fish were later netted out into 5gal buckets and transported to his mother's outdoor goldfish pond.

My big hoo-ha on Kyleboy's story (well, besides all the obvious), who the hell puts that much work into a mega-tank without already having some idea what they want to put into it??

Heh...though if every fish he thinks is pergenant is, he can use this hypothetical tank to house the thousands of fry.

[Web Gazelle]

If I was to fill my basement up with water what kind of fish can I keep in it? I think I will then charge money for people to come swim with my fish.

[Zen4t5]

Why didn't I think of that. That is genius, my friend. I say dolphins or sharks with freakin lasers attached to their head. Oh How about a large shoal of tuna? You can also have a sushi bar on the first floor. How about handing people a spear and they can spear their own fish. That is money in the bank.

See troll posts are fun.

if your a super-aquarists then i guess the lake filled with duck crap is the worlds biggest fish tank. TOOL Tool

[kyle12]

ok i dont have a huge tank like this but i was going to get one in tell what all of you said.

[Zen4t5]

I believe fishcatch22 was defending you in his own way Kyle. He was not calling you a tool. The super aquarist comment, I believe, was on the sarcastic side. Personally I think you do not own this tank. There are a lot of honest people who are on this forum to help and inform each other and things like this thread frustrate people. Everyone hates being lied to. You could just ask what someone would do with that large of a tank. To say you own something you don't just to get a reaction pisses people off. I enjoy them for the read and practice in creative writing.

[dorkfish]

You still haven't posted the dimensions yet. Just tell me the dimensions and I'l l believe you. Or, to simplyfy it what is the length of the tank? height of the tank? width of the tank?

[dorkfish]

ok i dont have a huge tank like this but i was going to get one in tell what all of you said.

Whoops! sorry, didn't see that post. Well, if you do decide to go through with this, make sure to spend lots of time doing extensize planning on it. Remember, whnen you go big, everything gets biggr, icluding the price tag.

[kyle12]

sorry i made you guys think i had it.

[debaric]

Kyle, tomorrow on the blackboard at school i want you to write:

" I will not lie on the fish forums ever again"

100 times!

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahah *doing back flips laughin* woke up neighboors* cops at house* ahahhahahahaha..ect. build youself a little island in the middle in your tank and ask for dinner by sending messages in a bottle. i can see you now shipwrecked in your living room.lol

[gagaliya]

stop being so bitter everyone, and lets get back to the topic of discussion. Who cares if he has a 1000g tank or not, still interesting topic. So what type of filtration would be needed? i guess you need some kind of outdoor pond filter to run this? Personally i think a large school is MUCH more attractive than a few big fish. School of 100 rasboras, or barbs, or tetras would look awesome.







c'mon, you SOB!! he's just a little kid trying to impress his peers! don't smash him just for trying to fit in with us cool super-aquarists! and he's a troll! so what? aren't all little kids trolls? you sound like someone with no life who has nothing better to do than smash little kids dreams.

LOL, sorry but that's a classic

[graphicdesign_r]

debaric - you are gullible, naive, belligerent, and stupid. Keep going I'll call names back and forth as long as you want, cucumber choker.

fishcatch22 - this is a forum, not a nursery school. If you want to hang out with immature little kids all day start a daycare. You could even have a laptop or something so you can continue to contribute to AC. I do get some amusement from your posts, so you have the distinction of being mildly funny while you are also being a tool yourself.

kyle12 - you're a liar, and you're far too immature to have the priviledge of posting on a forum like this. You do not have any of the social skills necessary to fit in. Your parents should monitor your internet usage more carefully. If one didn't know you were a child, they might take offense to your idiocy and do something about it. If you acted like such a spoiled brat in public, you would be put in a corner, or these days possibly even arrested. With your attitude I would not be surprised to find out you've already had considerable disciplinary issues.

With all the AC spinoffs, someone should have "fishboardnurseryschool.com" or even catchier "growouttank.com" for all of the little kids that think AC is an extension of nickelodeon. Then they could lie about their 50 bala shark 55 gallon aquarium and call people names without raising any eyebrows.

:bday:

[Rowangel]

graphicdesign_r, if these posts bother you so much, why do you respond to them? You are always so angry and I don’t understand why. And, no, I am not opposed to straight forward honesty, I prefer it in fact. But there are more appropriate ways to tell someone they are making a mistake or trolling than to insult them. Insults and personal attacks don’t help because those that are ignorant will stay ignorant regardless of what you say. These type of posts exist on EVERY forum, you can't stop them, just ignore them. When you post like this, instead of sounding intelligent you come off sounding like an angry idiot (which I strongly doubt you are) and alienate yourself. I always assumed you where quite the knowledgeable one, so what is the deal? :confused:

[killerfish12]

GR do u have anger problems because if you do i know someone u can talk to. :D lol

[debaric]

Graphic, put down the thesaurus and get your skinny, pasty *** outside and put that built up teenage angst to use by doing what other little kids your age do. Maybe go to the beach with some friends (although i doubt you have any), go get laid (i suspect thats the outstanding reason for your behavior), or perhaps read a spiritually uplifting novel. Kid, you need a life.
If Kyle is bad, you proved you are just as bad or worse.

[Red Tailed Wonder]

this is getting out of hand. Mods please close this.

sorry, i've said what I needed to.. so umm anyone have a tank that actually is over a thousand gallons? If so what filtration do you use and what is the maintainance like?

Sorry. I believe in fighting fire with nuclear weapons. The intent was to offend debaric, and since I've turned PMs off so I don't have to get them from idiots who like to support the forum trolls... I can't tell him that privately. After my "Roan" problem, I'm keeping everything public.

Also, when a total moron like debaric gets rowdy over my troll baiting and tells me to "get laid" I believe in telling him to go f*ck himself. There I've done it again.

Simple as that.

Sorry, I don't visit the cesspool state.

Besides, I'd rip your own soul out and feed it to you. Words aren't the only thing I'm a master of, and I know a few arts that have nothing to do with graphic design. I could show you sometime if you'll sign a waiver.

I think I was just threatened with physical harm. I could have you thrown in jail for menacing. Fortunately, I'm not a whiny queen like you, or you could be taking it in the @ss from bubba for a week or two. Or maybe not...

Bubba: What are you in for?

debaric: (cringing) Threatening someone in an aquarium chatroom.

Bubba: That so?

let me clear something up. kyle12, you are not a tool IMO. GD, however, is. also, I was not being sarcastic with the super-aquarist statement. I am NEVER sarcastic. sarcasm is for the weak-minded. people, let's stop arguing like a bunch of hooting, socially repungant, crap slinging apes and more like the mature, experienced aquarists we are. (P.S. I am NOT being sarcastic!!!)
