laxplay, i really love the colors on leo!!

i almost forgot meaty had so much green in him before ;)

i need to get some new pictures of bobo... he's HUGE! (at *least* 9 inches... we haven't really measured) he gets so excited when he sees the camera, though, that it's hard to get a good 'profile' shot of him.

So, Bobo's about to chow down on some glo-light tetras, eh?
Was it you or your dad who came up with idea of putting them in there? It's still his tank, right?

yep, it's still my dad's tank... it was actually my idea, they were on sale for $.99, and my dad likes to get him feeder fish (yes, as in the 12 cent nasties)... i figured the tetras are probably a 'healthier' snack (aka, less likely to be parasitic =/)

speaking of which, my cons still haven't bred. the plan is eventually to feed some their fry to bobo... but alas, now i am getting off topic. ;)

Draegan is filling that tank out nicely these days, hehe.
Has his attitude/personality changed much at all recently, by any chance?

Brockway...I can't get over how much red your tiger oscar has! :cool:

Triton has mostly been 'himself' as of late.
Any aggression he has pent up in him mostly gets directed at his tankmates. Although, as you can see in the pic below, he does tolerate them quite well for the most part...even lets em' get close during feeding time!



What a slob!
That's the firemouth he's got chewed-up, in case you're wondering......j/k :p


Here's the image I cropped down for my avatar pic.

Mine doesn't seem that aggressive. Anything larger than about 2.5-3" he doesn't seem to consider food. There were 2 goldfish about that size that he seemed to ignore for a few weeks until I finally removed them due to bioload concerns. May be because he's obviously the biggest fish, he doesn't feel he has to defend territory or something. I don't think I've even seen him chase any of the other non-eatin' size fish in the tank in a long time. He sometimes attacks the glass and flares up, and likes to move stuff, but he mostly swims around watching people go by. If hands go in to move stuff he goes to the bottom, lays partly on his side and stares.
