Aight, we are a mystery to all. Who are you and what do you have? Species and if you want, tank sizes. It isnt a friggin contest. Just so we know who we are and what we have.

I am barely a tank buster, but my fish are getting it done.
2 Oscars males 1 tiger 1 albino 8-9 inches at the monent. 1 plecotomus 14 inches at the moment. New additions will be added soon. My big tank is a 160 plus gallon. I have a 55 gal feeder tank sitting next to it.

Hey Joel where'd you get your Endli's from? Im looking for 1 or 2 that same size...

04-28-2010, 07:29 PM
I got them from FG, not very often you seen short bodies, so i bought one, then went back and bought the rest that this lady did not. Pretty sure they will bring more Endli's in but dunno about the short body variant.

I got a Tenecor 240 (8x2x2) that's pretty empty right now. Only inhabitant is an 8" RTC. It'll go in a pond when it gets too big for the tank. Awaiting something more 'special' soon. :)

Thanks to the Fishbox will be setting up a 125, to house 13-14" Tiger Oscar that I adopted when my friend got transferred to a new Base (Marine Gunnery Sargent) 5 Jags 2 female 2 males one juvie, the largest is about 12 inches down to about 7 inches. So not true tank busters but intimadating. Used to own a 2.5' Channa Micropeltes (Red Snakehead)before they were illegal, and I had children that was a beast.
