Evan374 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Hi everyone! Never fully left the hobby, but let’s just say that life’s responsibilities prevented me from getting too serious with it for the last few years. Recently moved into a new house and was able to turn a small bedroom into a “miniature” fish room which is awesome. In here we’ve got a 120 with five juvenile severums, a bristle nose pleco, a juvenile L190 Royal pleco and 8 Columbian red/blue tetras (in quarantine). A 40 breeder African project going with seven juvenile Cynotiliapia Zebroides “Cobue”. First attempt at a real mbuna tank. And a 75 gallon with a Rhombeus Piranha. This guy is definitely my pet fish having had the pleasure of caring for him going on 17 years now. My daughter, who was a toddler when I brought him home, is off to college next year….named him “Pancake”. so that’s what I’m stocking now. I’m sure I’ll figure out a way to cram more tanks in this room. looking forward to learning and helping out where I can! 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.K.Luterman Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Welcome to the forum! Good job on caring for Pancake for so long! How big is he? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan374 Posted January 25, 2022 Author Share Posted January 25, 2022 Thank you! just over 10”. unlike pygocentrus, Serrasalmus grow incredibly slow….really to a point where growth isn’t noticeable. he’s a legend though, lol…to me at least 😉 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife brought home two kittens when our grandson was about 2. He promptly named them Broccoli and Ghost. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said I’m almost of the opinion the price tag should be higher for most species. Can be extremely shy as juveniles and have an unnoticeable growth rate after 5”. Witnessed many people buy them expecting something different and end up ditching the fish…all of which are imported (Serrasalmus species and two of the three pygocentrus). On top of that they live long lives 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
