Aquariums

[fishohio614]

Wondering if there are any aquarium keepers on this site. I used to keep aquariums but have had to try and sell them pretty recently. I just sold my 55g and am trying to sell my 150g before I go to college. It makes me sad because it took me a while to fid a 150g that was a good deal and get it setup. Yesterday I put water back into it and put a snapping turtle that I caught, which is pretty cool. Anyway, if you have an aquarium, it would be cool to get some pictures on this thread. Especially since there are people from different countries. They were always a few species and types of fish that I wasn't allowed to keep due to living in the US, like snakeheads. The most exotic fish that I had were probably my fire eel, which I had trained to feed out of my hand, or my eel tailed catfish, or my baby arrowana which my bullhead ate. That was an expensive snake and pissed me off because I was really looking forward to getting too see it grow up. Anyway, let's see some aquariums. Also, if you want to talk about aquariums you have seen or been too that would be cool to. I went to Atlantis, which I believe is in the Bahamas, and boy did they have some amazing stuff. While I stayed there they had this giant manata ray and early one morning they helicopter lifted it out of the tank and released it into the ocean due to its size. I didn't actually get to witness this because I was asleep because they did it pretty early and I was bummed but the people there told me all about it when we noticed the manata ray was gone the next day. So feel free to post any experiences with aquariums here. Sorry I don't have any, I will try to find some of Atlantis, but pictures are worth a thousand words.

i need to get some new photos taken, i have a 150 in my living room with a perch in it right now, we had an oscar with him, but the oscar died of hole in the head and we havent started to put other fish in there again yet, the perch is coming around to hand feeding, once hes doing it better and is more friendly, we will add more. i used to have a couple of bullheads, they got big enough that i just let them go in our pond, one of them was very friendly, when he saw me it would swim up and want to eat, he would nibble on my fingers and i swear he even liked to be pet, the others were less friendly, but all still ate from my hand. i wanted to get a white sturgeon, but couldnt have one with the oscar, now that hes gone, the place that sold them no longer does. still looking for cool domestic fish, ive had tropicals long enough that i would much rather have local fish. some minnows do very well, other not so much, i have had mixed results with red belly dace, and they are cool fish. gold shiners do ok, and im trying to trap a few new sculpin minnows, they are just as cool as most gamefish.
