Nasty welcome in 1800gal by predatory & opportunist mahseer, tinfoil barbs & bala sharks leave again
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- A far smaller 8" mahseer was found to chase and bite the tinfoils and the balas for 3 days in 1800 gal. So they had to go into a 240 gal until a better option presents itself.

Love the size of that tank would love that
I love ur tanks
Wow the design/ shape of this tank is amazing
Thank you. It's two used tanks cojoined together.
Mad tank
Wow beautiful fishes.
Have you thought about a circular tank for the balas? They need room and love to swim; not mosey along, swim. Same for the other schooler in there.
They had swam in 25,000 gal for 2.5 years. They can tolerate the 240 gal temporarily.
Sorry, forgot your initial question - yes, circular tank shapes are great for the vast majority of fish it seems but the cons are that they are not viewer and space friendly.
Those tanks are sweet!
balashark and flagtail are king
ok first they are TOO MANY FISH for this tank, the fin are attacked by amonia , i have nothing more to say
You do so much to balance your tanks. All the best
Super cool footage. 🔥
Hope they do well, my experience with silver sharks is when moving form large to smaller aquarium is knocking them self out when spooked
Thank you for the warning. Will watch out for it. So far been ok. They would swim away from an approaching human in the 25K and the 1800 gal but in the 240 there is not much where to swim away, so they seem to be getting used to humans passing by close.
As a guy who’s had all sorts of monster fish, I doubt I’ll ever have one again, and I really don’t think they should be readily available for sale. Special order, but not in a tank at Petco where they’re doomed.
I love your tanks!
That might be one of the biggest Oscar’s I’ve ever seen 🤩
About 5 yo and 14", far from 18" champs.
Yeah... Wow! Incredible fish! 😃
That’s a lovely chunky Oscar gentle giant awesome fish you really can’t beat the character and price definitely my favourite fish The Oscars 👍
I just saw a thumbnail of a guy filming a catch and cook of tiger Oscars in FL, stringer looked to have 15 or more.. bummed me out!
It was on my suggestion list too. I haven't watched it. But it is true that we have oscars here in FL in every other puddle.
Mahseer in a tank wow iv always wanted to go to India and catch a Mahseer but to have them in an aquarium is pukka
You made me look up pukka :) Genuine?
That 1800 is such a badass tank man sucks your down to one tigrinus
I honestly thought they'd do great in there because bala sharks and tinfoil barbs are typically good dither fish for aggressive fish like larger cichlids. Then again I don't know if this is expected behavior from the mahseer.
Mahseer are high IQ and opportunistic, some more than others.
Nice video buddy
Glad to see tigrinus is ok.
Is he eating ok now?
Keep up the good work👍🏻
Thank you. Nope, the tig hasn't fed in the past 3 months or so. Looks good still though. But yes, this weighs heavy on me...
Cool tank but hate seeing big fish kept in overstocked tanks like this. I doubt any of those fish are happy.
Thank you, appreciate it. I doubt you'd wanna read our usual copy-paste response to such critical suggestions. It's long.
I got an 8 inch gold synodontis nigrita a few days ago
Wow. I've only seen 4-inchers before. 8-inch must be breathtaking.
Glad you separated them they were beat up 🤕
Bitten up. Yeah. Thank you.
wish I had a tank this big 😢
Build it?
u need to clean immediatly the mechanic filter and make 50% water change , you should also add some melafix and salt ,,, and adding kanamycin based medication in food, like seachem KANAPLEX ,
See my prior comment.
@@Fish-Story sorry my comment was bullshit lol,,, now i know...
@@captainpobtamere3024 No worries. We appreciate your sharing your reversal.
How's the huge tank build going?
Haven't been touched since Feb 2021. Need to earn and save $7000-$14000 toward front window.
well done being vigilant
I thought you was going to put the masheer In a 240 on his own and left the rest in the big tank to heal quicker and have space
I would but there are 12 more mahseer in the 1800 gal. Some or them could have the same ideas as the butthole I caught, or maybe he wasn't the only one anyway. In any case, I am not transferring 12 largeish mahseer from 1800 gal growout.
@@Fish-Story yeah you are right and we’ll done for the awesome job you do with all ur tanks and fish it’s amazing and a dream to have so many large tanks and fish super cool
Appreciate your favorable review and support. Thank you.
What are the catfish hiding in the log in the 240? They look like some sort of Doradidae but I can't quick catch what you're saying for the name.
Soldier catfish aka Lithodoras dorsalis.
@@Fish-Story Thank you!
What is pacu doesn't bite other fish?
Not sure what you mean. Maybe you are calling the silver dollars "pacu"? In that case, it appears the silver dollars can cohab safely with many tank mates.
Must be time consuming wiping all the glass down alot of tanks do u have a process to make it easier
So far it hasn't been. In most of the smaller tanks we have common pleco to keep the tanks clean. Prochilods and black shark keep everything squeaky clean in the 1800 gal. We have to wipe other tanks from the inside once in a few weeks.
Thankyou for ur reply u have a beautiful oasis
Appreciate your kind words. Thank you.
put the masheer in the pond with the wells cat.
We don't want the baby mahseer to be eaten. They are rare, collectable, expensive fish and love them. Some fish are difficult than others, is all.
Where do you get your monster tanks from? Do you build or?
The two fiberglass 4500 gal we bought from Dolphin Fiberglass, Homestead, FL. The 1800 gal and 25K we built DIY on site.
@@Fish-Story very cool and thanks for the reply
So it was territorial That guy thought he was Tank boss but he got too carried away
No, not territorial. Mahseer are open water swimmers, they have no territory. This was an opportunistic predation on fins, scales, skin, etc.
@@Fish-Story Wow so he was basically just eating them alive just for some extra nourishment greedy little sod I think I’ll Steer clear of them vic
The mahseer are cool fish to learn to keep as well in their own right. It's a large group with character varying.
Not your fault. Don't beat yourself up my man.
Tank dimensions
L-shaped with the main section 16ft x 6ft footprint.
@@Fish-Story height
the 1100 gal portion is 30", the 500 gal portion is 24", the bridge in between slopes from 24" to 30".
@@Fish-Story it looks good.

People do keep them. Some even collect different species.
