yes mate kept plenty and bred a few of them over the last 15 or so years and I disagree hence my post Peacock bass and aro's for me are a more aggressive feeder but we'll have to agree to disagree on that

Have you kept an arowana? Mine and the one I had before it are possibly the most aggressive feeders I have ever had RTC generally come to the surface to feed as well so I wouldnt be concerned about that I'd be concerned how big the RTC, Aro, Parron and giant snakehead are going to end up though

I visited a large fishkeeper at the weekend and he had a giant snakehead in his pond with about 8 large oscars no issues. The snakehead was about 3ft long. Saying they the pond was large so plenty of space but the micropeltes he has at this stage is a pussycat and doesnt bother any of the fish...

I've had 4 for 11 months now I need to find a few more that are not ridiculously priced They are such a cool fish but about 30 years on from when I got my first one which I kept as an indicidual I want to breed them one day

Questions like this with bigger more predatory fish are hard to answer as there are generally no rules. They literally have their own personalities. I keep a mix of bigger predatory fish and the mix has evolved over time finding a happy medium. Occasionally a fish like this can just turn for no...

Ace news Baby cories are so cool they very quickly become the cutest little copies of their parents. Easy enough to raise as well usually Have fun

totally agree with Pet Sounds. I followed a poll on FB where there was voting for the best album of all time. From memory it was Abbey Rd and Pet Sounds in the final and I gave it some listens to see why it was so highly rated. I wasn't around to experience what impact it may have had but I...

I've kept them for about 30 years and was quite obsessed with breeding them at one time. Currently have about 18 in a 6x2.5x2 tank Unless theyre wild discus which are gorgeous but higher maintenance I wouldnt worry too much about soft and low ph water. Mine are in 7.5ph water I keep the temp at...

Hi I keep larger fish including a couple of oscars as MattH said. I have a 6x2.5x2 for my discus and my bigger fish in a 9ft now. What I would say is go for it as I love my 6ft tank and you do open up a load of options fish wise but for me if you can get a 30" wide tank its so much better than...

Has anyone kept these and if so have you kept them in a group and with success? Seen some recently and it triggered a desire to set a tank up for a group or 4-6. I have asked my local LFS to get a price for such a group. My wish would be to breed them eventually. What I am wondering is how...

Sounds like a great idea. Brackish tanks seemed more popular about 20 years ago. I used to keep dragon gobies and had great fun keeping those in bracksih water. could they go in the water section with the skippers. Slways wanted to keep mudskippers intriguing things. Are four eyed fish...

Been a while since I updated this . Been quite a few changes in the last 12 months. I still have the ray pair but added another female which has gone well without incident. I sold that aro as he had a really nasty streak and killed a few fish and bought another asian aro but a smaller one ...
