My Fish

Here are some fish I have owned/photographed, none of which I have anymore. I know the pictures are the pits, but you get the idea...


First up, a stonecat i caught and photographed

I realize the pictures suck. I also realize that the burbot tank is NOT clean, but I needed to have him in a small tank temporarily, and that tank was kind of getting gross. Oh well, still got some pictures.

Pretty neat to see that Burbot.

Thanks for posting.

Thanks. Honestly, that burbot had more personality than any fish I have ever had. Even my oscar couldnt compare. This guy (Jhonka, as we called him) would follow me along the glass, ws active a lot during the day and more during the night. He would tear into minnows with the ferocity of a pike. Unfortunately something happened to his water and he died. I believe it got too much heat from a window, but its possible the chemicals became unbalanced too far. Really disappointing, I dont see these guys very often.

Yeah, thanks for posting. I have never seen a burbot before and never realized how unbelievably cool they look.

another thing I am noticing only now is how cool stonecats look. Way cooler than tadpole madtoms, in my opinion.
When i caught the stonecat it was a dull peachy brown colour. after a few minutes in the photo tank he turned into one good looking fish.
