Big Fishies

[Ribbit21]

Finally got around to getting the last few fish and decor for my 150 gallon tank.

Wizard castle. You can just see the red arm of my huge crayfish in one of the holes. He's a beast!

One of the baby crayfish all grown up. If he's lucky his dad won't eat him.

Nessie the pleco is the boss of the tank. She's close to 14 inches long now.

A tinfoil barb. These guys were supposed to go in a larger tank, but they are much more relaxed in this tank, so I'll leave them for now.

Super social catfish

A lot going on in the tank, very nice. With a tank that large, some aquascaping would look awesome!

It's fully planted about half the time. The big fish destroy the plants so nothing lasts more than a few weeks. Even the plastic plants get pulled out and dragged around by the crayfish.

It looks very pretty
As I'm not a fish hobbyist I can't really say more. The crayfish are really neat!

Ever thought of going with a more natural driftwood and rock scape with some massive driftwood pieces? Awesome fish.

Most of the large ones are 3-6 years old. I think the oldest are a 7+ yr old tiger barb and bumblebee catfish. The bumblebee catfish is funny. I only actually see it once every few months. It has such good hiding spots.

I used to have a ton of driftwood and rocks in it, but lately I'm preferring a less cluttered look. I kind of alternate the uncluttered look with heavily planted, lots of leaves, semi-blackwater.
