Jeez....well, its a long time since i have had to list them, but here it goes...


A lot of big cichlids, both African and Central American
Giant gourami
Clarius catfish
Big plecos
Freshwater rays: Leopoldi, Jaguar, Motoro, tea cup, plus others
Knifefish (ghosts and clowns)
Red tail catfish
Giraffe catfish
Snakeheads (a few of these as well)
Pike characins
Pangasius catfish
A few leporinius
Tiger shovelnose
S. Lima
Gars
Mbu Puffer
arapaima
pacu
arrowanas

*Racks brain for more*

I mainly went from your list Mike, as it was easier than typing them out again!

Are we doing marines or not?

I no longer keep any fish sadly, but still have all my equipment and several tanks ready to go in the future.

Rays are definitely something I would like to keep at some point, such very nice fish.

Ahh, same. They're so magestic. I'd love a huge tank with knife fish, rays, bichirs, plecs, shrimp, bumblebee gobies. If it were possible, that would be one hell of an amazing tank.

(in tank maintenance, internal filter changing etc lol) but what a fish! he was more agressive than any Dovii i have seen and they are dubbed one of the nastiest of cichlids tempremant wise but i never met any that would literaly jump half out of the water to get at you! or try chewing through the glass to get to you over time he did become accustomed to me but i was still not allowed to enter HIS water without a fight!! i have sworn to myself once we get moved and have room for another 6x2x2 i WILL get another one!...oh he was around 14-16in btw but soooo powerful....i miss my TB
you've never met my big ass dovii. he's a c**t. and i don't like that word but it works for him. Would love a buttie but never found a decent one.

and cam cap, don't leave, it's not worth it dude. We need more proper fish keepers on here. Lots of burm, retic and monitor keepers but hardly any big fishnuts.

and darwengray. I agree 100% but I don't want this closed, so keep it civil at the very least. Well not civil just not name calling.

Erm, ok? I thought my post was quite nice. I just said I wouldn't argue. I didn't, I left it there, and we moved on.

This is all about differences in opinion. If you cant take a difference in opinion, ie a discussion, when no one is arguing (as I wasn't), then maybe you did the right thing...

Clearly a few of you in this section have some problems with each other. I think some of you need to calm down and think a bit more before you hit the submit button.

Its a shame that someone feels the need to leave the forum, no one should really be made to feel like that.

Can we please now try and keep things polite and on topic from now on.

Thanks

It would be! I'm thinking the bbg's might not last long though?!

I'd love some of the smaller marine sharks and rays as well... had some at the aquarium, gorgeous fish.

I know but he did exactly what you said you didn`t want for this thread.
If anyone buys anything bigger than a tiger barb its constant comments about "what do you plan to do with it when its bigger" " you`ll need a fifteen foot tank" all that sort of nonsense.
He`s putting people off coming on this part of the forum.
Its doing my nut.
