Votes close the next day So even though the winners have flipped since Monday the winners when I checked at the beginning of Tuesday still remain I figured so! No worries at all.

The endler guy Posted March 9 Author Share Posted March 9 Winners: acf and a tie???? I’ll give my vote for tie breakers if that sounds fair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The endler guy Posted March 9 Author Share Posted March 9 Time for the ram showdown!!! Bolivian rams get a little larger and are hardier, easier to breed, and can be kept cooler, but have less extreme colors (blue heart) german blue rams are smaller and a little finicky with water parameters but it’s hard to beat those colors!

Odd Duck Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 I can break the snail tie. I have to vote for mysteries since they are a self-replacing option and they parasnail. I do love nerites, too, and don’t mind the bedazzling as long as they don’t get too crazy with it. 1 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The endler guy Posted March 10 Author Share Posted March 10 So even after @Odd Duck voted we still got another vote 1hour later for nerites, so I’m waying in and saying the winner is… MYSTERY SNAILS!!! Also Bolivians and ghost knifes win 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The endler guy Posted March 10 Author Share Posted March 10 two of south Americas giants, and some of every aquarists, and anglers dream fish! Arapaima (gigas, yes there are 3 species) possibly the largest freshwater fish, and it isnt just big, look at those colors! (blue heart) arawana (silver) a guppy in size compared to arapaima but still a big fish, much more reasonable monster fish (purple trophy) 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The endler guy Posted March 10 Author Share Posted March 10 if you ask the fish what size they are they will both give you the same awnser, but in reality they are a small puffer in a large puffers body and a large puffer in a small puffers body (if you can consider pure unbridled rage a puffer!) do they even need introductions!? pea puffer (blue heart) Mbu puffer (purple trophy) (woops we have a photo bomber) 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The endler guy Posted March 10 Author Share Posted March 10 winners for the first side are out! we had some really close matches! we are starting to head into lesser known/ non community fish, so even if you dont have it, still feel free to vote on which one you like more! Also yes as I have stated previously some of the winners have changed after their round was over, I am going to go with the winner at the time, and ties will be extended an extra day then if it is still tied I decide. sorry @TheSwissAquaristyou kinda get screwed because you have a different time zone (we are running this off of est) remember, have fun, be competitive but also be respectful But more importantly, this was a ploy to show that endlers are better then guppies!!!!! *evil laughter* (just kidding... kind of) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd Duck Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 On 3/10/2023 at 6:11 AM, The endler guy said: Arapaima (gigas, yes there are 3 species) possibly the largest freshwater fish Naw! Not even close. Largest freshwater fish in the world is the beluga sturgeon in Russia - nearly 24 feet long and over 3500 pounds. White sturgeon is the largest in North America and they get 15-20 feet long and can weigh nearly a ton. Arapaima gigas is fourth on the list, per google at 10 feet and 300 pounds from the Amazon. Second is Mekong Giant Catfish of Southeast Asia - 10 feet and 650 pounds, third is the Alligator Gar of North America at 10 feet and 350 pounds. Biggest fish I’ve personally seen (not in a zoo or public aquarium) was thus huge catfish (I don’t know what kind) this guy had caught with rod and reel from the Kansas River just south of Wamego. He and his buddies had managed to get it into the bed of his tiny, 1980’s-ish pickup (I think it was one of those tiny Isuzus) and it was laying diagonal across the bed of it and lapping up both corners. That head must have been at least 16-18” across and the thing had to be at least 6.5 feet long! Phones didn’t have cameras back then (this was in about 1993? While I was in vet school and working at a convenience store) or I’d have proof. I suspect he has pics but he never reported it even though I told him he should (I suspect he may have been fishing without a license or someplace he didn’t have permission to be). I was working that night and he just had to show everybody he came across. To say he was a little amped would be a massive understatement. 😆 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
