My new AUL

[Egon]

Hey buddy!

You sure it's not your Niger Cat? When I moved my big guys into that very same 1100g tank, they made the same sounds you are describing.

Hope I'm still in your will to get genius--just in case = )

Way to keep the dream alive! I really have to post my new stuff here in Saudi...inshAllah!

Hey man. Good to hear from you! For sure post some stuff up. I look forward to seeing some stuff that we can’t get here in the US. Asian Aro?

RE: Genius, my AUL, I’m certain he’s making that sound when he’s breathing. Not certain if it’s exhaling or inhaling? A couple more evenings with my whisky, viewing the tank, and I will know for sure!

Take a video and capture the sound.

Yeah, Asian Aro, BD rays, Axlotls, and Snakeheads are the naughty things they have here.

I just checked my youtube channel and discovered I haven't generated content since 2019...I guess the pandemic caught up with me.
Well, I caught the bug again a few weeks back. Might be time for a tank upgrade, my asian aro has doubled in size = )

Just got him today from Mike at H2O custom aquatics, great vendor!

Almost 20"

This is the coolest fish I ever had! I'm sooooo happy right now, I'm sure you all know the feeling

That looks awesome, dumb question but what is it? Looks like a cross between a lungfish and a bichir lol

Some say a living dinosaur, hasn’t changed much in the last 100 million years. I love showing him off to you all. Thanks for checking out this thread!

Awesome, still going strong?

A quick update on Genius, the bichirs love hiding under him. They think he’s one of them.

Beautiful fish! I enjoy the regular updates. To me, a monster fish keeper not only keeps awesome fish, but keeps them well, keep them for a long time, keeps them for life. You are modeling that and I salute you

“Genius” is right at 35” now. Super happy in the 1100 gallon take. Still the slowest to the food but that why i call him Genius….
