Haha he was probably paying more attention to the fish than the man. Ive never seen that. It would be cool to catch one. Haha they didnt get it on the boat just got it to the side and cut the line. I would love to catch a sword fish aswell that would be a good fight.

by **flip** Wed 28 Jul 2010 - 19:15

i think i saw a show once where they were fishing for swords, didnt see if they got it though just remember thats what they were after. dont they tend to jump?

by **kizno1** Wed 28 Jul 2010 - 19:19

Ive seen a few different ones. Yh all the ones ive seen have jumped a couple of times. they get completely out the water aswell.

I think ive had another change of mind for the stocking in the 21G i still want snakeheads in the 30G but i might get 5-6 dwarf puffers for the 21G because if i go for the pikes ones 2 pair up i will have to sell the rest so i would only have a pair of snakeheads in a 30G and a pair of pikes in a 21G but i would prefer a few more fish so atleast i could keep 5-6 puffers in there for life.

by **flip** Thu 29 Jul 2010 - 20:03

haha thats funny i have been reading up on dwarf puffers too for the 5g! although i would only have one, but they seem to be very fun fish to have. i read that they are quite intellegent!

by **kizno1** Thu 29 Jul 2010 - 20:19

They look cool when ive seen them but ive got a tough decision now. Ive heard that to.

by **flip** Thu 29 Jul 2010 - 20:25

yes you do, i have made mine already thank goodness! if i cant get a school of pygmies from the lfs then im going to try to get a dwarf puffer and if i cant get that then a betta. you have the harder decision by far though, there is a lot of really good options for you... i think you should get the one you want the very most. who cares if there are only two in the tank if that is what you want!

by **kizno1** Thu 29 Jul 2010 - 20:49

sounds like a plan.
Thats the problem though i want them both. ATM i think its slightly in the pikes favour because ive wanted these for a while and ive found them at suck a great price. it will still be agers before i get them though so my mind will probably change a few more times lol

by **flip** Thu 29 Jul 2010 - 21:56

well they are a great looking fish from the pic you put up. how long till you have to make up your mind?

by **kizno1** Thu 29 Jul 2010 - 22:03

Well im going on holiday for a week on sunday And then when i get back i still need to make the whole breeding rack and sell allmy fish before i can get them so atleast a month.

by **flip** Thu 29 Jul 2010 - 22:26

ah ok well at least you will be able to take your time for the decision! where are you going for holiday?

by **kizno1** Thu 29 Jul 2010 - 22:37

Well it might not take that long my mum just remembered she has a rack that 2 shelfs high and is 6 foot by 1.5 by about 4 foot she thinks which means i could have 3 tanks on each hight which would be perfect. So hopefully i can put that up when i get back and then i just need to drill the tanks and its ready. Im going Egypt near the red sea. I cant wait but its going to be boiling its the hottest time of the year.

by **flip** Thu 29 Jul 2010 - 23:37

thats great about the shelf!!

EGYPT!!!! awe, im sooo jealous! id love to go there, are you going to get to see any pyramids or anything like that? oh have you seen the new show chasing mummies with Zahi Hawass? it is on the history channel. its a great show! hehe id take the heat any day to go!

by **kizno1** Thu 29 Jul 2010 - 23:42

Yh hopefully i can get it up soon and get some SNAKEHEADS.

Haha nah were just going near the red see no pyramids there. The place where going to is called taba hight. i cant wait only 4 days.

by **flip** Thu 29 Jul 2010 - 23:45

still, egypt........i hate you kiz Sad

i cant wait to see a pic of them when ya get some. at least you wont have to completely biuld something now.

by **kizno1** Thu 29 Jul 2010 - 23:54

Haha. I just hope it isnt to hot haha i dont want to come back like a tomato.

Nore can i. I just need to try and get some for a good price now. Thes rack has a metal frame aswell so should be alot stronger than a wooden one. Which is good because theres going to be about 210L on it.

by **flip** Fri 30 Jul 2010 - 0:03

take a lot of sunscreen!!!!

yeah you are going to need it to be really strong, good thing it is metal.

by **kizno1** Fri 30 Jul 2010 - 0:09

Yh i defiantly will. We might be going diving there aswell which will be cool

Yup i cant wait till its all set up and i can restock my other tanks. It will look empty only having a few fish but i would prefer a few bigger fish tank loads of smaller ones.
If i get the stocking i want in 9 tanks all i will have is
a trio of bns
bn fry
a pair of apisto
a pair of snakeheads
a pair of dwarf pike
lol but they all loo amazing so its all good.

by **flip** Fri 30 Jul 2010 - 0:19

that is going to look great! all those fish have nice coloring too.

ive never been diving before, that will be fun. you have to take a bunch of pics and post them when you get back. you should get one of those waterproof disposeable ones for the diving.

by **kizno1** Fri 30 Jul 2010 - 0:25

Its not with the proper oxygen tank things (cant think of the name lol) its just they take you out to a reef with a snorkel. But you can do diving lessons with the oxygen tanks but thats just in he pool lol. There will be lots of pics. I think we still have one of them that never got used somewhere will have to have a look. The only problem is it would be a pair to get them on here.

by **kizno1** Sun 1 Aug 2010 - 18:19

I cant find that fish warrior programme. Im not sure if its on here. They say the next one is on on the 2nd which is tomorrow and ive searched through every programme on that channel from now till Wednesday and cant find it.

by **kizno1** Tue 10 Aug 2010 - 14:21

I think im going to go for a puffer of some sort. Not sure which type yet but going to have a look around. I say about 5 different types of marine puffers on holiday and they all look amazing and thats tempted me to get one.
