Great news. I’d been expecting to se this one on the floor next to a tape measure.
Me too.
That is just incredible, just a few videos ago he looked like he was a goner. And considering he was in that state for 8 months the recovery is even more amazing, he must have been fighting hard something internal.
Yeah, I had buried the fish in my mind...
Great video
Great news 😎🤙🏾
That's an incredible recovery by the hybrid. Must have been fighting something serious and overcame. The Jau is amazing!
Yeah, something deadly. Let's hope this recovery lasts.
Love these kind of videos Vic 👍

@@Fish-Story cool
love this video, thanks a lot for sharing
Hit that like button 👍🌟🌟👍
Yes the first one⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Where's the arapaima?
Jumped out of this tank some years ago. I failed to build a new bigger tank for them in time.
@@Fish-Story awww... thats sad man... but u r doing ur best... keep going mate 👍 loads of respect 🙏
Appreciate your kindness, thank you.
how come there are helicopters in both koi pond and "aggressive" community?
Good eye. In our experience the Wallagonia catfish have been timid, despite their fierce dentition and reputation, so they have been quite compatible with other fish, even edible prey, so long they are kept reasonably full. The younger and smaller Wallagonia couldn't go into the aggressive 4500 gal, but the bigger has been in there for 5 years and doing okay, although it could have been tried in the 25K as well... it's just there has been no real reason to so far...
I thought there was two jau
Yes, they fought too much for me, I had tolerated it for 5 years but eventually one was adopted out about 3 years ago.
What is the big white fish? Is it an oscar or pacu? Sorry I'm a newbie.
NP. It's an albino red-belly pacu.
How many gallons is that tank?
4500 gal 13x13x4.5ft
If you were to keep a colony of live feeder fish in the tank do you think that might keep the paroons busy so they would quit attacking their tankmates? Just a thought.
I think you are right, they wouldn't have a reason to try and prey on tank mates. This had been suggested and thought about long and hard. The added benefit of watching predators hunt would be utterly spectacular. But the two main cons are that maintaining such a supply of live feeders would be highly demanding in terms of labor, time, and money (we are a humble one man show on a shoestring, already spread thin) and that in general we have a strong ethical objection to live feedings. Not everyone feels that way and it's fine to differ, I guess.
@@Fish-Story 100 guppies? Idk I remember at the long Island aquarium they keep piranhas with large tetra schools in a 2000g. So maybe something like that
Thank you. If we talk of fish small enough not to be considered prey, then the point seems moot likely. I don't think those piranha hunted those tetra either, which made it possible to exhibit both in one tank.
@@Fish-Story I think any truly prey sized fish would be too expensive for you... for anyone really with those fish
I agree. Buying them live would be risky and expensive. Raising ourselves would be laborious and perhaps expensive too at the setup stage. But in any case, as stated above, feeding live fish feels wrong to us... not to mention it gives ammo to PETA.
