[Zakk]

i give up!

SOME GET THESE TWO TO SWAP MESSEGER IDS PLEASE!

na am just kidding. its nice to see youngsters getting into the hobby seriously and the fact that its self funded show a lot of interest!

Pleco, you love shopping!?!?!? :P DUDE! quit buying stuff and get more tanks!

[Hoyo12]

lol

Anyway, yes, I did buy fish without knowing what they were... but it was a nice looking native fish. I did find out what it is.
Green Sunfish. And I have a pair! Male and Female, beautiful fish.

huh, never heard of those before. How big are they now?

Zakk: What's wrong with shopping? And believe me, if i could get more tanks, i would do it in a second. But my folks have other opinions that overrule mine.

[Hoyo12]

They are about 6 inches, and are now in a 50-Gallon Native tank.
The tank currently has
2x Green Sunfish
1x Pumpkinseed Sunfish
2x Large Minnows (Hoping to get an entire school of them)
Once the Bullhead grows larger, he will be going into the tank.
I am hoping to add some sand to the tank later on. I'll have to see if I can get pics tomorrow. (Camera has dead batteries)

[<3~Pleco~<3]

hm sand will look nice.

So, I'm heading over to the pond where caught the two minnows. I didn't see anything larger than that yet. Hoping to get a lot more. The two I currently have are doing fine, and are not being bothered by the larger fish. I piled some rocks on top of each other, and was able to make two large hiding spots for the Green Sunfish. I had too force the female out of her hiding spot, and now she will go in occasionally, but she will also swim around the tank now. The male is in the other hiding spot, and refuses to come out. Beautiful fish though. The Pumpkinseed Sunfish is always out swimming around, and the Green Sunfish are a little aggressive towards him, but nothing bad. Just a little push every once in awhile if they get too close to each other.

I keep on forgetting this. I went to my LFS again yesterday. I came back with new fish, again! This time it isn't a native fish. It is a baby African Knife. Got him in memory of my first African Knife...
I now have a Green Knife, Zebra Knife, E. humboldtii Knife, Centipede Knife, BGK, and an African Knife.

Do you come back with more fish everytime you go to the pet store?

[Hoyo12]

If I see something I like, lol. Yesterday I went, because I called the Pet Store and asked if they had any in stock. Only reason I went.

[<3~Pleco~<3]

its hard to keep track of all your fish, tanks, and the occasional lizard stories lol

[Zakk]

i lost track a long time ago! i just like reading his posts.

[<3~Pleco~<3]

i think that he has the most interesting fish, and stories to read.

[Zakk]

yupp. true that.

[Hoyo12]

lol
Then here is another story. I just came back from the pond, and I noticed that there was some areas of the water that would constantly be moving. No clue how to explain it really, so I went over to check it out. When I got to to the other side of the pond, I saw what looked like tadpoles, everywhere. At least three groups. What I got closer they swam away, and that's when I saw that they had whiskers. In fact, they weren't tadpoles at all, but they were baby Bullheads, everywhere! Not just 50 or 60, but hundreds or thousands. They all quickly swam towards deeper water, but I was able to take a swim with my net into the water and catch four of them. They seem to be the same thing as the one I originally had. I'll get some pics in a bit, had to move them into a small container, because they are soo small, lol. Had issues trying to feed the first one I had, he went crazy for Tubifex.. maybe I'll make a feeding video of the little guys.

[<3~Pleco~<3]

lol how come you get all the cool fish in your ponds?
The pond near my house has unknown fish, but i doubt they are anything exciting. Maybe I will try to catch one and get a pic of it. Then you guys could identify it
They are biggish, and fast..... so i don't know how soon it will happen.
