Introducting Abner the Arowana and Tabitha the Retic

[MorbidMorals]

that fish is awesome..but i must say...im hungry now. :( DAMN YOU ABORTEDSOUL! NOW I MUST FEAST UPON PEANUT BUTTER SANDWICH! but your fish will be in my heart and mind :D

[DelinkICM]

They are beautiful souly!

[cassandradesiree]

is that two tier tank? Tabatha is so small! How big do you think she will get?

[abortedsoul]

The tank above is is used to house plants and to feed into a waterfall; it is also a huge home for a single black goldfish (originally purchased to be food for the stingrays) that the woman has grown incredibly fond of. His name is Egor.

Ich bin ein ichthyologist!

[abortedsoul]

Hey, at least I'm not a jelly donut! X_x

[feeling2good]

it that a wild silver? cause his barbels are quite long for that size.

[abortedsoul]

I am guessing that he is wild caught, but we got him second hand so it is hard to say. He sure is a looker!

[abortedsoul]

Thanks.

[AshMangus]

yeah. nice arowana and stingray. lucky... :)

we should throw some videos of thaddeus up there soon, too!

i fucking love you, and this has been the most amazing present. EVER. <3

[abortedsoul]

I'm so glad you like it; I can't wait to see your face when we stock the 360. <3

[ssj4goku100million]

welcome back man

[abortedsoul]

It is good to be back.

[ThePirateGrog]

good to see you back!!! :D i was worried that you quit youtube

[abortedsoul]

No, just been busy. :D

[subach]

You've not been around in forever.

[abortedsoul]

I have been busy. Shaking sand out of my boots, delivering medicine, visiting family and friends, and building a new home for us on the East Coast. It's good to hear from you, subach.

[subach]

And you as well. I have some experience in shaking sand out of my boots, so I know how that goes. I just started calculus so you probably won't see much of me, bad timing I suppose. Still I look forward to hearing thoughts, lots of interesting topics these days.

[abortedsoul]

Good luck with your calc class.  The most interesting, and alarming, would be economics. I think everyone could use a few lessons on the Austrian school.

[HaleyMary]

Cool fish.

[abortedsoul]

Thanks!

[jerseytropics]

That's not a normal setup, I'm guessing that's like a refugium on the top spilling into a gravity filter, then into the tank? You need to shoot a quick video on the system. It looks interesting.

[abortedsoul]

Just a modified turtle tank converted into a planted waterfall that feeds into the DIY 5 gallon bucket of filter media. I've also got an FX5 running main filtration... will post a video of the setup, when I get around to it.

[PhildotheGreat]

Pretty interesting creatures... but I hate sea dwellers, yuck.

[abortedsoul]

They are Amazon River dwellers, if that makes any difference.

[D4Shawn]

"So... abortedsoul... what have you been doing the last six months?"

"I got some fish"

"That's um... pretty cool. Anything else?"

[abortedsoul]

Actually I've been doing quite a bit more than that; Stingrays and Arowanas are something I am doing as a gift for AshMangus.

Mad fun.
