Car Losers With Fish

[Maeda]

I just redid my tank along with my enginebay, and I got to wondering, if there are any other car losers that keep fish?
Anybody else or is it just me?

This pic is taken right after the new sump so it's a little 'green.' The sump and shrimp have made my water clear as crystal again.

CO2 Tabs & DIY Wet/Dry Sump

5 Amano Shrimps
Angel Fish is hanging out in the sump

i got 7 goldfish at the racetune grand opening in january. i now have 4 left.

everyone i know who got fish that day had theirs only last one or two days. i win!

I have four goldfishies. My tank is straight ghetto steez tho. 5 gallon tank. The fishies are tiny tho. 3 of them are like 3 yrs old, the other one I got a month ago from my zoology class, we used him in a experiment and I took him home in my water bottle, lol.

A couple plants & some rocks. Water filter & air pump that dont work right.. I should get a new one.

I might also get graphics for the tank too.. we'll see.

I'll get pics if anyone feels like seeing it.

[infinitexsound]

gangsta............ thats a huge tank.....always wanted some fish's but never had the time to... daniel got pics of ur setup?

[psidriven]

got a 40 cube w/ 230watts pc lights and pressurized co2. got major plants, looks like a jungle w/ some coral red pencilfish and bunch of random shrimps. think i spend more time on this tank than the car.

btw, let me know if you want some plants, shit grows like crazy.

I used to have all kinds of fish, some that are worth mentioning:

-Bettas, I used to have 10+ at one time. I love the short-tailed male bettas. I have also successfully managed to breed a couple :)

-A bunch of goldfish that were sometimes used as food

-Pirahnas. I used to have 4-6 in one tank. They would devour a goldfish in less than 15 seconds when they get the munchies.

-Snakeheads....these guys just straightup swallow their food, they can grow REALLY BIG. These fukers cost me the most money in terms of food. They're always hungry and can always eat more. They also eat feeders such as goldfish or any living thing you throw in the tank.

-Dragon Fish aka Arowanas...these majestic creatures are one of my favorites. These guys also eat feeders or meal worms. I've feed them butterflies, crickets, shrimps, and even spiders (lazy to drive 5 miles to buy food). These guys can grow HUGE in no time.

-Clown knives....aggressive fishes that attacked my Dragon fish. Predator fish.

I've found that I like predator fishes...it's nice to watch the hunt. I was going to buy some electric eels and sting rays, but decided that I was done with fish so gave them all away. I now have no more fish and my room smells much better. So yes, I am a loser :coolugh:

[dct223]

wow you had some exotic fish... mine are all from the local pet store lol..

I myself have a Mantis Shrimp but i am too lazy to post pics..but here is my brothers tank

I once had a Garfield aquarium with a few goldfish in his 'belly'. :D

I definetly spend more time on my car....

But I spend a bit of time on my tank.

What kind of plants?
I'm looking really hard for dwarf hairgrass and glosso's....

Anytips on buying a CHEAP (gotta buy car parts ya know) pressurized CO2 setup? I was just goint to get a 10lb bottle from someplace that has bottles for beer taps, and just put a deposit on it... I still need a cheap regulator and what not and i'm cluless...

NICE looking tanks people! Keep um comming... I know there are some of you in the woodwork.

[IAM_SO_sLOw]

wow i didnt know so many people were into fishes... i have a piranaha i had two but one kept stealing the food and the other one killed it =( im kinda sick of piranahas.. i have to buy feeder fish every week- 2weeks =(

[biggie]

I'm looking to get back into reef aquariums. Just gotta find the time and room in a permanent house.

Had a 55 gal reef for 3 years, with about every fish possible. Addiction started freshman year with bowl, then 20 gal fresh, then 20 gal fresh and 30 gal salt (grouper and lionfish), then sold everything to get 55. When I do it again I won't do anything less than 75 gal, most likely a square shaped tank. Still got a RO filter setup somewhere.

Oh, and a recommendation, check out http://ffexpress.com -- especially good for cheap salt water creatures.

AWWWW!!!! i hate my tank i always spend more money on it then i do on my car BUT atleast i got rid of my 100 gal

as of now im rocking the lake fish 3 bluegil and one bass they are badass to watch eat

[s14srpilot]

I had a Humuhumunukunukuapua'a, Clown Trigger, Porcupine Puffer, Snowflake eel and a Lionfish. Throw in a couple of feeder fish and watch the carnage. Except for the poor eel, they are blind and hunt by smell :(

[s14srpilot]

I myself have a Mantis Shrimp but i am too lazy to post pics..but here is my brothers tank

I heard those mantis shrimps are cracee and that they can actually BREAK the glass with the impact of their claws :eek:

[ca18guy]

I have 4 tanks in my house 3 for cichlids and 1 for regular tropicals. I'll see if I can find some pics.

[crioten]

my step dad has 3 50 gallon tanks and a few smaller 20-35 gallon ones...

he loves fish, doesnt have anything fancy though...

i dont really like fish, i like ponds so we built a pond in our backyard... ill edit it and post pics...

a crane came down and ate all of our fish in the pond lol

lol.. you know in the wild, bass and bream are sworn enemies. Bream eat bass eggs, and bass eat bream.

yea they can, but thats why you need a plastic tank instead of a glass one =)

[Wei240]

here fishy fishy fishy, here fishy fishy fish

last time i had a fish, it was in a plastic bag

and it died

happened 20 yrs ago

that was the end of that

fish are cool, wish i had time and space for a cool aquarium

[DocTaDrifT]

lol.. you know in the wild, bass and bream are sworn enemies. Bream eat bass eggs, and bass eat bream.

[jdm538]

i used to do the whole fish thing a little bit, but was always much more into reptiles and amphibians. Ive only got one snake left,and she's fits snugly in her DIY cage (5ft by 3ftwide by 28inches tall) all screened in. Now you wanna talk about carnage, toss a rat in there, thats carnage

if you're from the bay, check out albany aquarium for plants. they got everything.

for pressurized co2, sign up with sfbaaps and read their message board. those guys have been doing hardcore planted tanks for years and know all the deals. think they had a nice setup for around $100 for everything.

man miss the bay, nice mountain roads and fish stores. orange county sucks a big one on these two points and more. can't even get pizza delivered after 10pm in irvine. what the hell am i to do when i get the munchies, i definately ain't driving stoned.

[that180guy]

damn, and you guys talk about shoe fiends :tweak:
dope fish tanks. my parents got a pond in the yard that had lik 100 bucks worth of koy....and then the raccons.......those bastards
