My cute fishy

[Shelby]

I've had this fish for 6 years.. caught it in a pond.

He lives in a 46 gallon bowfront aquarium. His substrate is all fossils that I or my mom have found (plus a few bought ones) but mostly stuff from lake michigan.

He's a pig and loves his rosey reds (you can see one in the pic)

You can also see his super cute mole that's on his nose. He's got a big one on his side too that you can see. I loooove my fishy.

Nice fish. Looks fairly big too, which is always cool. I've been thinking about getting some type of fish again if I move my bp out of the 55-gallon aquarium, and into a sterilite. The question would then be, what combination of fish. Ahh... that means more procrastinating on my thesis doing research for those fishies... where does the time go?

Fish are fun.. but they take up too much room for me to have more now.

Mr Whiskers is about.. oh... 8-9" long now I'd guess.

Yea, I really love betas but they're not the best aquarium fish due to their aggressive nature. I have kept one with a bottom feeder with no problems at all in the past though.

Bettas are actually great with other fish.. just not another male betta! I've kept bettas with guppies, platys, mollies, and a loach. The betta was getting beat up actually.. he's got a bowl now.

I put in some guppies with one of my betas and he would occasionally chase them around. Never really seemed to try to actually bite them though. I was dumb back then and saw a crayfish I thought i really needed (without reseraching them)... well... i had no guppies left in the tank after he went in there. At least they weren't wasted, he left no scraps behind.

That is awesome! You have no idea how much I lve catfish (next to goldfish, they are my favorite fish.) I wish I could catch something that cool and have it live a long time; we had one we caught last year and it ended up getting eaten by the Oscar who was in the tank; my fault I guess.
Right now I have a Syndontis and a big algae eater named Al G, and a 2 foot pleco. And a raphael cat; forgot him.

Oh I forgot; is he preditory? Looks like a feeder in there..

[Shelby]

He's EXTREMELY predatory. LOL any other fish you put in there, he either eats, or if it's too big, he kills and guts it for me.
