No salt for me, but I do have 2 freshwater tanks. 1 120 gallon, and 1 little 12 gallon for the baby.



Oh, and the log was just tossed in there cause it was laying around, haha. Obviously too small for the tank. I have a big rock that replaced it.

Anyone wanna play name that fish?

Yep. He's my bigger one (and that pic is a few months old). I have another baby in my room in the small tank (for now). Unfortunately they are so far apart in age that it's going to be hard to get them to live together. I'm still trying to figure that one out.

Haha, nah, he eats pellets. Piranhas are given a bad name by TV shows and movies. In reality, they are some of the most skittish fish I've ever seen. I'll stick my arm in his tank all day, he wont even come near it, let alone bite me.

If he'd ever come out of his rock, I'd take a newer pic. He just hides all day though.

wow... very nice

I have a 40 gal FOWLR (80 gal w/sump and 'fuge) and a 240 gal fresh water with some BIG arowanas at my parents house now. I also have a 120 gal (intended to be a full blown reef + inverts only) waiting to be set up... but for some reason all my funds ran out for that ever since I got the car. Ha ha ha!

I got hired on at a pet store @ 15 for being a salt water specialist. I started my own tank at age 9 with a Lion fish and Trigger fish. Was going strong until I found out about modding cars. Since then my poor 120 hasn't seen much of me anymore. lol I need to set a side a whole day for the dam thing....
