Any Monsterfish keeper here

[squawkbox]

I have most of what you are keeping except Aro, watch out for the bio-loads.

I think you meant Stones aquarium. ya, they have nice monster fishes and oddballs.

ah ok. wah the odoe pike so fierce? was your channa pleurothelma much smaller in size?

I rem i saw at this LFS located at Sin Ming area, the monster fish tanks really awed me. dunno how these shops keep a giant pleco together with 1 bichir inside there.

the bichir is huge too.

They have a 20" channa barca. Beautiful and active piece.

Hi, can I check with you guys what do you feed your bichirs with?

Yes, but hefty price tag, as with all barcas.

aro with slivers mates in 6 ft

Hope to see more monster fish keepers here in AQ =) It would be cool to grow this 'sub category' in this forum and more and more people can share their monster fish keeping experiences in this forum =) Soon more and more species of 'monsters' will be banned from import here and I supposed it's up to hobbyists here to keep the spirit alive! It'll be interesting to see other hobbyists' scaping for monster tanks as well! Simple to do but hard to 'get it right'.

I'm now keeping assorted Polypterus endlicheri and palmas species, IT, Channa and aros... looking into the red tail payara once tank upgrading is done =)

Hope to keep it burning and many more will get 'poisoned' into the appreciation of monster fishes =)

For me I have an 8' Channa Lucius in a 4 footer and 8 baby Channa Striatus in a 2 feet tank. The babies are around 2" and growing fast but the Channa Lucius is taking its own sweet time in growing... haha.

I feed mine market prawns, fish fillets and massivore tablets, sometimes I feed with juvenile tilapias/toman.

I have a large arowanna and a couple peacock bass. Love my bass

[mezica]

I keep an arowana but has not grown that big yet. It approximately stretches 22 inches currently though not at its full potential yet. I would really like to start on rays but I am a little worried with going with their upkeep habits.

I actually fancy going with a larger number of the smaller fish than a few big ones. At least when they pass, I would not get hit by a big one but rather a few small ones.

I've been bitten by the semi-monster fish bug! I currently have 8 discus(yes they are monsters! They eat small fish!), 3 Lima cats, 2 bottle nose cats, 4 assorted doradids in a 6ft. Now on the hunt for the elusive jaguar catfish.

[IrcKnight]
