    Super Reds

    Deffinately the Diablo the deep body , high degree of shine mixed with a nice spoon head is hard to beat (though wish they came with nice thick frames but I think that of every red lol ). Think this Diablo is always gonna be the nicer of these two fish but these are only two individuals from...

    Tanning lights

    Goldheads are not from tanning it's from genetics ( ones who have higher reaching color have been selectively bred to produce it ). If it was simply from tanning then all xbacks out in the breeding ponds in the sun would be Goldheads. They command higher prices also so would imagine breeders...

    Alligator gar Arapima & RTC in a 20 gallon long?

    Those arapaima only look to be in the 5 to 6 foot range and that is what you would expect them to grow with good care in captivity. The tank is way too small we all agree ( looks still under 1000 gallons) but he has obviously gone to great care to maintain water quality. I think the same...

    Alligator gar Arapima & RTC in a 20 gallon long?

    This pic shows exactly how these fish are not so easily stunted as people seem to believe. A fish capable of over 8 feet and hundreds of pounds in captivity will still be in the range of well over 100 pounds into it's adulthood. As well as multiple feet ( arapaima and alligator gars I'm sure can...

    Alligator gar Arapima & RTC in a 20 gallon long?

    I'm not into flaming people but does bother me when in this day in age of the Internet people can't take the 5 mins to research a potential buy and find out if it's right for them or not. Plus I find it bothersome when people will completely for go the health of an animal and it's well being...

    Crazy XB arowana

    I had a rtg that was evil as all hell too lol. He had the 300 gallon tank he was in all to himself cause he would just kill anything put in with him. Tried putting in a school of 7 monster tinfoil barbs that when i woke up the next day had no scales to speak of and he even killed a close to 2...

    WTB platinum alligartor gar

    Hey I'm not saying Howard can't buy anything he wants I just take issue to the size people think they max out with in captivity . Also that they can be kept in any standard size fish tank long term because it simply is not true and would be cruel to do so. If you think otherwise then you really...

    WTB platinum alligartor gar

    I think gars in general are quite peaceful fish with fish there size and when the gar is smaller should be fine. The problem with the alligator gar its such an enormous fish and grows fast so in very little time it will be much larger than an aro and then it does pose a threat. When it's big it...

    WTB platinum alligartor gar

    I would think you could keep it in a 900 gallon tank for quite a long time. They will go fast to a good size in a couple years then it's growth should slow down and take a bit of time to get to be a monster. They get twice the length of a red tail catfish ( red tails max at 5 feet) and problem...

    WTB platinum alligartor gar

    I should also say you don't see the really big ones often in the wild because they have been fished out not because they aren't more regularly capable of attaining those sizes

    WTB platinum alligartor gar

    Please tell me your joking and don't actually believe what you said? To have a true alligator gar never reach 3 feet in captivity would from gross stunting and horrible care. Yes fish don't grow as big in captivity we all know this but to say an animal that is one of the largest freshwater fish...

    Power Outtage Accicent.

    I should say it is safe and will keep your tank at good oxygen levels but isn't safe to overdose

    Power Outtage Accicent.

    If you ever need to oxygenate water in a power outage you can also dose hydrogen peroxide( 3% ) at 1 teaspoon per 50 gallons and can be repeated every 6 to 8 hours

    Tanning lights

    Nan light are more for the visual effect I think. If they do indeed tan as they may do the bulbs would need to be replaced at least every 8 months to a year if used for that purpose as the spectrum will weaken and change over time just as any pc or T-5 light would. The bulbs will last longer for...
