12 Volt Man's Updated Giant Barb shots

[12 Volt Man]

well fellow AC'ers, its been a while since I moved my then 14 inch yellow finned barbs into the 90, and they are now both 18 inches. Thankfully, they appear to have stopped growing now..and I am saving up for an All-glass Brand 150 gallon set up for them. It will afford them a lot more room than they have in the 90..

some new shots, you can see that keeping healthy fish this size in a tank too small for them really is an excercise in aquarium managment LOL:

you can also tell why this tank is a great way to prevent the really aggressive severum from killing everything LOL

Nice, but I disagree.

 

[12 Volt Man]

well, its either that or the severum goes in a 30 by himself to sulk all day

because thats what happened before..

at least in this tank, he is out and about and eating better than any severum out there! LOL Probably part of why he is so colourful. Because the giants eat and eat and eat, he gets the opportunity to pig out too!

Now those are huge fishies...cool tank and cool fish... and with the 2 HUGE barbs the tank actually looks smaller than a 90..hope ya get the 150 rightfully soon....they are awesome though...

my fish friends say they make the tank look like a 35...:jaw-dropping:

Here is an interesting perspective shot:

compare the 18 inch barbs in the top to the 12 inch normal tinfoil barbs in the 65 underneath..

just goes to show you that an 18 inch fish of the same bodyshape is roughly twice the overall size of a 12 inch fish of the same shape..

you add 6 inches in body length, but you add 4 inches in height and...

Wow, that is a great shot of your HUGE barb...and the bottom tank looks awesome also...
