SuperFishKeeping

Anyone here into fish keeping or just like fish? Got fish tanks, outdoor, indoor ponds etc. ? Just thought I'd start a thread just to see if we had any aquatic pet lovers here. Feel free to post your tank/pond setups or just talk shop about fish keeping. I posted this in Super Culture because fish keeping is a huge global culture in its own, and yes it's even cooler in Japan .

Here's one of mine:

72G Bow front, severely overstocked at the moment since I got rid of 2 other tanks. Its running an Eheim Proffesional filter and a AC110 HOB. It's got an arowana and some SA/CA cichlids

Lol not my pic funk, found it on google. It probably belongs to someone on the fish forums. I wish we could keep asian arowanas in the states though.

Sucks that you had to kill those P's. Why didn't you just give them away?

Everything looks pretty healthy, but a little crowded/busy in my opinion.

I worked in an aquarium store on and off for 3 years when I was in college and have kept marine, reef, all manner of cichlids, piranhas, and some non-aggressive fresh water as well. No digi cam in those days, so I dont have pix, but my reef tank was so fucking nice....

Man I miss being able to just stare at thing.

BTW, anyone been to Steinhart since it reopened?

I tried to go when I was home for winter vacation, but the shit was sold out with a line that stretched for like 3/4 blocks.

Woh that thing is packed, I almost couldn't even see the power heads 'cause they blend in with the coral so nicely. Any fish in there? You could definitely fit 2-3 fish in there clown, flame angel, or other small fish in there.

Chrome - Steinhart is that serious? The aquariums in Malaysia have these insanely big 'pimas I wanna check out next time I'm there.

Haha, it is, but only temporarily as the old aquarium was completely leveled to the ground and a new one built (the tanks were REALLY basic concrete vats, and their system was pretty old from a technology standpoint), but it was one of the older aquariums in the country I think. Anyway, with the holidays over and things back to normal I think that getting in wouldnt be a problem.

Also, you ever been to the Osaka aquarium? There is a Amazon tank with Arawanas, Pimas, red tail cats, etc.

Also,

Any recs on good shops in Japan for saltwater/reef?

I have no space to set up a tank here, but I always love to go check out the fish/corals.

Naw sorry bro, on my two trips to the land of the rising sun it was all shopping and visiting family. From what I've seen on the forums though all the rare and impossible to find fish including sa/ca cichlids can be found in Japan lol.
