Gorgeous, stunning fish! Thanks for sharing!
I keep fish as well, but nothing to exciting. I have ~ 35 Bettas, three common goldfish, four fancy goldfish, a chinese algae eater, and two weather loaches (looking to get a third). I did get to foster a wolf fish though, that was fantastic.

I keep fish as well. I have a communal 90 gallon tank with 15 decent sized ghost knifes 
Although we're looking to sell our setup and downsize to a much smaller tank for saltwater. I'm tired of freshie stuff. IMO, freshwater gets old unless you can have a river tank. something big enough to house large catfish and arrowana

cool fish, I just tore down my 90gal salt water and am in the process of starting a freshwater setup
Nice, I keep fish as well. Down to only a 44 gallon South American set up though. I have a 3-4 inch dwarf green pike, bushy noise plecos, Tatia perugiae, and a few other misc fish. Really would love to set up a 75 for a bunch of small/dwarf species and have a little slice of the amazon, but that has to wait.
Jesus man if I could afford that I would be in heaven....I only have one big tank running still (40gal?). It's a decent size and I keep 2 polypterus ornatipinnis, 4 juvenile silver scats, 1 spotted hoplo cat and 4 large synodontis upsidedown catfish which I still haven't been able to figure out the exact breed. I think they're the species they call featherfin due to dangly appendages on the dorsal fin.I keep fish as well. I have a communal 90 gallon tank with 15 decent sized ghost knifes
Thanks for the compliment! Yeah I have to agree about the wolf fish - amazing ambush predators with crazy chompers (though my pike still beats any wolf fish, lol)!
Awesome! Post some pics! I would personally stick to freshwater though. Your 90-gallon is big enough to keep a lot of cool fish for life.I keep fish as well. I have a communal 90 gallon tank with 15 decent sized ghost knifes

NICE! Pikes rock don't they!
That's probably Synodontis eupterus. How big are your bichirs?

I have a 75 reef tank, no fish right now, as my shark died, but will be getting some dwarf angels, clownfish, grammas, and a couple other fish soon.

Haha my mom is the same way. She told me that mine look like "eels." She said that like it was a bad thing? :? Eels are my favorite variety of fish!
A shark in a 75g?!!

I've got way too many tanks. 2 freshwater planted 55G's in an over/under stand in my kitchen, the lower has a school of Congo Tetras, Glowlight Tetras and a pearl gourami. Upper has a School of Featherfin Rainbows, Harlequin Rasboras and Cardinal Tetras.
2 10's and a 20G upstairs outside the door to my bedroom. 20 has one giant school of H. Formosa, light golden colored 7th smallest livebearer in the world. One of my 10's has a school of galaxy rasboras/celestial pearl danios. The other is a plant nursery.
Lastly I have a ~65G Saltwater in my living room that's home to one juvenile Russel Lionfish and a "Green wolf Eel" (carpet blenny) I say ~65G because it's an older tank with odd dimensions. Maths out to between 60-65G.

nice pike :drool:
i had cichlid tanks for ever, it wasnt until i moved that i sold them and got into spiders really. i had 13 tanks going, from 55g-600g. the pic og the 600g was right before i tore it down, i had sold all the cichlids and driftwood by then, just had barbs and my arowana left

Those silver barbs are nice. My polypterus are only about 6 or 7 inches right now but the ones at the pet store I bought them from a few months ago are obviously in colder water with less food, because they're still around 5. I just set my aquarium up sick again and now I have to move soon lol. I'll post some pics eventually.
Favorite type of cichlids, followed close behind by Apistogrammas.NICE! Pikes rock don't they!
I wish I had a few of the tanks my dad has set up. He has lets see... 25 125 Gallons, 3 75 gallons, 2 or 3 55 gallons, and a couple 10-20 gallon tanks. He also has a 180 that is empty because it was an impulse buy. Mind you he does import/sell fish but 80-90% of that stuff he has in those tanks are his and not for sale. Everything from altum angles, discus, ton of different pikes, to a 1.5 foot red tailed catfish that he has plans of building a 800+ gallon tank for when he gets the time/money.
