18' x 9' x 3.5' catfish tank build in progress.....

[necrocanis]

Yeah, thinking of starting up an oscar petting zoo. lol. I'll have 6 and a jaguar cichlid. Pretty soon there will be more oscars than catfish. Smaller ones will probably end up being catfish chow sooner or later. I feel better now that I got to work on the tank some today. Tomorrow's the wife's birthday so no go on the tank build!

Yeah. I'm about to do another rescue soon. Going to be getting another 14" oscar three plecos 10" 14" and 16" and a jack dempsy, plus various small fish. The owner was just going to dump them all in the river.

If you ever creep over to WA, I've got a big Pacu you can have for your tank. Rescued it the other day from a lady who had 2, one was dead when I got there. The filter hadn't been on for 3 weeks and the house was unoccupied and not heated. I'd say the water was about 50-55 when I was there. Didn't even know I was going to get a Pacu. I went to look at the tank that was for sale......

Doesn't everyone love an oscar petting zoo? I've got 6 now going on 50. lol. Everyone dumps their oscars on me. I'd have 8 right now, but within 24 hours of being in clean water I had two kick the bucket that unfortunately had lived out their lives in a 30 gal and a 55 gal. Both were over 10 years old also.

ive missed this thread for a few week's after breaking my laptop, cant belive how far you have come with this project. great to hear you are rescueing fish aswell.

 

[necrocanis]

Yeah word's out and I've been getting about an oscar per week. Luckily that's about the only monster fish sold here besides ID sharks, plecos, and pacu, but most of those don't survive. Oscars are pretty tough. ID sharks are always stunted everytime I see them.
