This is what you see when you look through my eyes at my giant fish. We have a 125 gal fish tank and only have 2 fish in it. Now why would we have such a huge tank and only 2 fish?Good question and I'm glad you asked. I bought my husband a new fish last year after his GIANT Albino Catfish died when I say giant I mean GIANT he was about 2ft long. He died cause we apparently got some bad feeders. Anyway I go to the store and see this cute little fish that is the size of a quarter it was a Pacu. I'm thinking I will get him for hubby to replace the catty. I knew he was going to get big no big deal our tank is big and we can handle him. The info on the fish was "the fish was a vegetarian" I got him with the intention on getting other fish for our tank.News flash he is NOT I repeat NOT a vegetarian. He was here less than a day and had eaten all the other fish in the tank.

Except for my Plecostomus (algae eater) who was larger than him so he couldn't eat him. The Pacu is now about 16 inches long and I could put other fish in the tank but they have to be either half his size or bigger. It's ok though the Pocu is pretty cool he has a personality he loves the bubbler that is in the tank.He likes to put the bubbler between his body and his fin it looks neat. He also knows when it is time to eat he comes to the top of the tank and I drop pellets into his mouth.

Pleco vs Piranha

I am having a bit of a delema with my fish and hubby's fish. My fish is the Pleco or Algae eater the black fish to you nonfish peeps. Hubby's fish is the Piranha or the silver one and he is eating my Pleco if you enlarge the second picture you can see his tail is half eaten.

I am the one who got the silver fish for hubby to replace the Piranha that had died. I got it because they told me it was NOT a Piranha but a vegiterian version of one. But surprise when I got it home it ate all of the other fish in the tank. Now he is munching on my Pleco and I am not a happy camper.

This is making me very mad I love my Pleco he is the coolest looking fish.

You can see the two of them here it looks to me like they are wrestling to get the food.

I think I may have to buy a tank divider so his fish doesn't kill mine.

Unless any one has any other suggestions for me? And YES I am open to some great fish recipes....

I have seen some strange things but this.......

Ok so I have been driving for oh let's see 20 years that can't be real that would make me 37 ok so I guess that's right. So anyway like I said I have been driving for a long time and I have seen a lot of dead things on the road (RIP). Cats, deer, squirrels, turtles, birds, an occasional dog . But never in my life until last week had I ever seen a dead FISH on the road.

I was going to my kids school for field day (my son's was the other day and my daughters was last week) anyway I am driving along and I see a dead fish in the road. It just blew me away I started laughing to myself and said only here in rural NC can you drive down the road and see a fishing laying in it.

So as I was driving I was saying to myself how in the world did it get there? Well ok it was next to a pond so maybe a goose or a duck was walking with it in it's mouth and it fell out. Or maybe someone went fishing and was walking along the road and dropped it. Who knows how or why it was there but I said to myself I am going to take a picture of it on my way back because no-one is going to believe me about it being there.

So I am driving getting out my cell phone to take the picture I am getting closer to where it is so I slow down and get the phone ready and it's gone. Someone or something came along and took it. Now I have no proof but I will never forget it.
