Show Us Your Aquarium Fish....Past & Present

[Cammy]

Hey Guys/Gals

Thought i would start an Aquarium thread, since alot of members have Aqauriums.

Pretty much just post pics of the tank and fishys and tell us what they are and where you got them and how long you have had them for.
You can post pics of the fish you have had in the past to the present time.

So get posting!

i'll start.

The first pics are of my barramundi that i used to have, 59 and 67cm. Had them for bout 14 months, until they went to there nice new big home at underwater world. I got them at my work.

Second pics are of my Saratoga (jardini) his names TOGA! got him at 25cm now hes about 35-37cm, i also got him at my work last june.
he is in a 6ft x 24inch x 28inch High Tank, almost 800L. there is also a 35cm spotted longfin eel in there somewhere under the gravel.

nice fish mate
I use to have a barra and it died at 44cm long a few weeks back and in the background off my tank you can see where the water from when the barra use to splash when eating and has wrecked the photos.
Now i have 2 archer fish (5cm),1 aussie bass (12cm),1 eel tail cattie(15cm),7 barra (5cm),2 bristlenose (10cm) and another small catfish my tank is 4x18x24 and is still getting plants and logs and stuff for it.
i couldn't get any good pics cause most fish are hiding

Awesome fish Cammy, you sure have an impressive collection.
Heres my tank that I built a few years ago. Full of standard type fish...Cichlids clown loaches, bristle nose catties. Big piece of avacodo wood in there giving the water that tannun. Nothing terribly exciting. You can usually see a lot more fish, but when my naughty little princess approaches they duck for cover.

nice fish there mate! sorry about the barra a mate of mine and a member of this site just lost his 35cm one.

i also have a breeding pair of bristlenose. i cant wait til my fish get bigger, cause im getting a fish room where im gonna have 3 tnks,
i have got in mind 2x 4ftx2ftx2ft and another 6ftx24x28 H. and thats where they will grow up

sounds good mate
One off my mates has 2 ten foot tanks one with 3 big bristlenose and 2 barra about 65cm lol
And the other tank is his mums and it has 5 large oscars in it.

[Cammy]

i love that stand LGM is so nice with the bamboo doors and the stain, seriously one of the best i have seen! i dont mind the tannun either, as i have tannun in one of my tanks, i recon it improves the look of the tank. Anyfish is good mate

[bdowdy]

hi cammy the oscar ive had since it was 10cm now hes in the 30,s the barra was also about 10cm when i got him and is about 40 odd cm, love hand feeding both of these fellas,the trouble is the oscar bites and draws blood, the barra wets everything in site surface boofing.... ive had so many fish, im lucky as the wife works at a pet shop...next i want a sooty grunter, some archers, FISH are so relaxing and let you know when its time to go FISHING... CHEERS bdowdy..brett.P.S LOVE YOUR TOGA NICE FISH

These are some of my fish, I keep them in a 4ft tank.
I am into south american cichlids, mainly concentrating on one family known as the eartheaters.
I currently have 2x Satanoperca Leucosticta, 2x Geophagus Surninamensis, 3x Geophagus Rio Pindare, 2x Clown loaches, 1 X Sailfin Pleco, 1x silver shark, 3 x congo tetras and an empire gudgeon.
Have had most of these fish for about 3 years, one of the clown loaches is around 7 years old.
I don't have a picture of the tank on this computer, will post up at a later date if anybody is interested.

nice sizes on those fish mate, barras are awsome to feed aye water everywhere. I used ot stick my finger in the tank just to stir the barras up when they were hungry, and they would absolutly smash my fingers! and engulf em down,
luckily it doesnt hurt lol

which petshop does your wife work at?

sooty grunters, i had one of these planned for my next tank, but i decided not to as i wanted to get archers and bass and since the sooty cant really go in with any other fish i thought i would wait. But im still gonna get one later on down the track, also a coal grunter is another one of my favorite grunters!

that comment about fish making you ralaxed, is so TRUE.
