My cute fishy
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.

Re: My cute 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?

Re: My cute fishy
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.

Re: My cute fishy
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.

Re: My cute fishy
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.

LOL.. I made that mistake with a crayfish once too. It ate the tail off of my black moor goldfish.

Yea, i actually bought 2 crayfish because i saw one that was missing a claw and thought i'd give him a better home. Little did i know he'd end up in the other guy's stomach after he shed. I saw them all together in the pet store so i thought it was ok...

Re: My cute fishy
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.
