Fish Tanks are very cool.
And they bring auspicious Feng-Shui!
I had some a couple years back.. W/ a Red-Tailed Shark at the top end of the hierchy..
But the tank got ick, and he went crazy and killed all the little fish..
I will get a new tank one of these days, and have it filtered awesomely.
Fish are great to have. Kids love it, its a nice show piece, good science learning, and it brings auspicious energy into the vicinity.
But you need good filtration systems, and they ARE a lot of work. + $$ too
Props to those who have them well maintained

Little to no upkeep on a beta. My girl has one and it is still alive...that's saying alot.
Here's an updated pic of Red, my Oscar:
I had to remove most of the decorations because his ass is so big.

that oscar is huge but he really needs to be in at least a 55g tank so he can swim at least or something longer for him=).. Ive had dozens of oscars over the years their my favorite freshwater fish besides Arrowanna's.. I had a huge one over 2feet long in a 240g tank

Yeah I know man...I was wondering how long it would be until someone called me out on it. My girl brought him home with a 10G tank not knowing what he would turn into. I went and bought that tank for the time being, and now he has outgrown it. Right now my Bearded Dragon is in the 55G, but we are getting a house soon. When that happens I'm going to make something custom for the BD, and put Red in the 55G where he belongs.

bamm..raising live rock must have been a lot of work. i used to do salt, but as i grew older and the more lazy i got the fresh water and cichlids won me over. the coolest thing i had in salt water was the green wolf eel..about 16". that fu8ker was cool. he would eat right out of my hand, but looked like he would eat me..friends thought i was crazy for hand feeding him.
the managuense is about 12" now and is being a real dick since i dont feed him goldfish anymore. i have to fix the tank everyday..he likes to move things around looking for the goldfish.
the largest fish i had was a pacu that could barley turn around in the 55g along with a albino tiger oscar not far behind him in size.

Very nice setups, and a superb selection of marine life.
Personally, After my 1 eyed Angel Fish died.I gave up fish.(lol)
Here is muh revamped fish tank atm.
Currently have 2 Giant African millipedes that just copulated. Their home is their food. Quite a fun pet to rear
She's over 14inches long at 2 years old. I'm pretty sure she will be in a world record book
