Default Anybody Have An Aquarium

I have a 75 gal aquarium kinda plain inside right now, but it sure makes it easy to clean. I have 11 fish and if they keep getting bigger I may have to start puttin them in the frying pan. They all started out about 3 inches in length.

I dismantled mine after my last fish jumped out. I had an Arrowanna that I got at less then an inch long with the egg sack still hangin off of him and he was 27 inches long when I found him on the floor. I had other fish along the way in with him but for some reason they disappeared eventually. I just figured somebody broke into the house once in a while and stole em ya know. It was a 150 gallon.

Yeah I hear them all the time hitting the top of the water, it has a glass top so they cant jump out. If they keep getting bigger I will need to get a bigger tank. That suckermouth catfish can grow up to 2 feet long.

I had some pretty big pieces of drift wood in it but I had to take it out, the fish are getting to big they didnt have any room.
It was at first, I added another filter to it, just the one could not keep up, with both the water stays crystal clear and the suckermouth catfish do a pretty good job on the glass. so its not bad.
