Of those, maroon clowns and lawnmower blennies are probably my favorites. I’m not into the “designer “ clowns. Pea puffers are cool, one thing with those is the constantly growing beak isn’t an issue. My favorite was probably my dwarf red eye puffer or the Fahaka or a GSP i had for a long time. I’ve kept live bearers here n there, but just basic ones like guppies.
lawnmower ? sry.. i saw a pair of clowns that looked like cows, they were nice. i keep mollys, platys and swordtails. i have two guppys. i think im gonna get more soon.
Lol ya lawnmower, they’re not colorful but have tons of character and an expressive face. I think I had a Molly or sword tail along time ago, but can’t remember which. Guppies are probably my favorite of those types
yep, thats the blenny i saw today. it was eating sand and it was coming out of its gills.
They’re awesome at algae control, my wife named ours Wilford Brimley cuz it looked like it had a mustache
No. Talking about FishAddict74's snooks. They can reach 20" in the wild and have a good chance of hitting at least 16" in a tank.
My dream "tank" would be a 40' long x 16' wide x 8' deep, 38,000 gallon pool with a couple of paraiba, some RTCs, some flathead cats, a school of pacu, an arapaima or two and an alligator gar. I actually had the go ahead on this from my wife (well, at least in concept) the summer before my stroke. I was going to build the greenhouse the following summer and the plans were much more ambitious. She agreed I could put a monster pond in there. It would have been concrete and I would have had stairs going down on one side with a series of glass panels the height of the tank for about 32 feet on one side. Filtration was three pool filters with drains leading out to irrigate the tree row. Had it all worked out. I honestly don't think she was able to visualize just how big this really was, though. I told her a 35,000 gallon tank but she still couldn't understand why I wanted to make the greenhouse so big...
Nice! That would definitely get you the victory over on MFK ( someone asked who had the biggest tank and I think it was a 25k). I thought about getting one of the smaller gar types for the 240, but decided against it. I like your idea, I would probably add one of the larger knife fish to that if it were me. It makes me wonder tho how many people have tanks or ponds that big when I see stuff like 3 packs of arapaima or monster cat packs with RTC, paraiba and fish that sized being sold all the time. I’ve fantasized about turning a pool into a reef, but it sounds like you may be able to pull this off which is awesome, even a 10k gallon pond would amazing. Hope you get to do it, would love to see some pics or vids.
arapaimag had a 50K tank. He was older and wasn't in good health back then because of a work injury, if I remember right, so I don't know if he's even still around. His tank was actually part of my inspiration.
