Native fish are pretty scary too, but im a hard mofo i keep vens :lol:

I really enjoy keeping native fish, I have a Murray Cod, Yellow Belly, Barra and my lastest addition are three small Tandanus catfish. Love the natives but keep a stack of goldfish and various feeder fish too. They are far from a poor mans pet, setting up and ongoing costs really add up! Fish and reptiles are on par in by books!

I have an aquaponics system It's a cross between hydroponics and aquaculture, where you have a tank full of fish, and you pump the water through hydroponic beds were you grow your fruit and veges. The beds full of gravel act as the bio filter converting the fish waste, and the plants take up the nitrate. It is a closed system and you never purge any water, just top up. I am doing Barramundi during summer, and trout in winter, and it's awesome. I have 80 rainbow trout in there at the moment.

This was the first aquaponics meal we had Beer battered barramindi.

Nice tanks everyone!!! i work at an aquarium... ive only got two tanks at home but i have tanks at the shop that are mine that we dont sell out of, family buisness!!! a small tropical tank at my house its a 2 footer with some tetras and a few other small fast little bu**ers that i cant get out of there, nike fish i believe they are called. Then the other tank i have at home in a 4 foot by two foot by two foot with discus!!! they are sweet!!. at the shop we have a 6 footer with discus, a 6 footer with jardini saratoga and a birchir with a few plecos. Then a large 4 foot planted tank with lots of different tropicals, a marine tank FO, and finally my fav our 2000 litre arowana tank!! , in it we have tiny our almost 1 meter silver arowana, grumpy our green base chilli red aro and bob my giant albino pleco, that tank is the easiest to maintain with a 6 foot sump and huge pond filtration with no gravel and a few bits of driftwood!!!

Anyone else keep Oscars and have any other fish in the same tank?

My Oscar is fully grown in a 5 foot tank and is pretty possessive of his environment, just wondering how he would go with a companion (that was big enough for him not to eat!)

The three neons that were in there when he got introduced definitely didn't last long, but he has a bristlenose catfish in with him and they get along fine. The catfish (Skank) has a 'shipwrecked keg' that he lives in, and the oscar can't get him in there so that's his refuge..

The worst that happens is the oscar chases him when he spots him, but he doesn't beat it up. He tried once and copped those weird spikey things that cat has..

PS those spikey things on the cat's face makes him VERY annoying to catch with a net!

I know exactly what you mean Phil lol, I used to breed bristlenose, clown and sailfin plecos...they all had the cluster of spikes near their gills and were horrible to catch. I used to try and ambush them with a chinese container which also wasnt easy in 6ft tanks full of rocks and driftwood.

I also kept and bred 7 bar frontosa's which were a fantastic species of fish that I kept in an 8x2x2 display tank. I currently dont keep any fish...long story... but think they are fantastic for relieving stress and also very stressful at the same time lol
