terrierjohn 49 Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Lol i never paid for mine tbh i did sling him petrol money cos its only common courtesy.I may even considering parting with the more silver looking girlie one once shes healed up well if you do i would be more than willing to take her off your hands and stuff her in my tiny 6x3x3 tank Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cold Ethyl 63 Posted March 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 You are more than welcome to her after living in what i was told was a 3 foot tank although after seeing with my own eyes is 2 ft at best im sure 6 ft wont be too shabby for her at all.My only worry is getting her out my tank lol what a fight they gave the last time getting them in to the tank Her tail is healing just not as quick as her nose did Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JPTfellterrier 65 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 can i just ask why this poticular fish? There are thousands upon thousands of diffrent speacies available yet you are encouraging people to go for a fish that is totally unsuitable for the average fish tank! there is also thousands of different species that grow to a size thats too big for most tanks but i dont hear you shouting off about them plecs channel catfish syno decorus catfish columbian shark snakehead texas cychlid (only grow to 8 inches max)oscars vegetarian pirhana (pacu or silver dollar?) are just a few fish i've seen grow to enormous sizes but yet they are sold for household tanks so why all the fuss about this one particular fish? although non of those fish grow quite as big as yours...fish you should have listed would be giant gourami, shovelnose, arowana etc etc.i do shout about them on fish forums and refuse to sell them when i worked in the trade.AND AS I SAID BEFORE fish do not just grow to the size of the tank...the fish does but its insides dont causing a very early death but hey I am just a fish biology specialist, what do i know? and i hope to god you dont treat your dogs the same way you treat your fish to finish my final post, heres a pic of my lovley angels my female when she was young and my male and bought these female bettas the other week which do great with angels (not the males though) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
terrierjohn 49 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 well i'm no fish biologist but i have seen with my own eyes a texas cychlid much bigger than 8 inches anyway i'm noy going to carry this on for ages i know the fish in my tanks are healthy and and my dogs get treated better than i treat myself if you really need to know cheers john Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am qualified in animal management, i worked in the trade for two years, I have since spent every day on a fish forum reading articles from some of the best fishkeepers in the world and giving out advice on forums. my info being wrong? what so i got the size of a fish slightly out what was incorect about anything else i said? If you must know i had a pretty rough time where i had to move area twice and have since had all sorts of jobs. Who are you to judge me or tell me what to do? Who are you to tell me if i can or cant comment on a forum? or spread my opinion on a matter? NO ONE so go f**k yourself Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richie10 345 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Alot of talk around but anyone actually keep any decent fish on here not fish farm imports. Used to have one of the largest collections of Datnoides Pulcher and also kept Cichla(also all varieties apart from Azul) and freshwater stingrays. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
