Ink, great collection of creatures you have had.  Nothing like learning what diet and on the living condition they thrive.

I lived with one of my high school friends after college.  He had a 80 gallon salt water tank.  He had a Moray and a Lion fish living in the tank.  He would put a dozen or so gold fish in their to feed.  The Moray would go crazy on the fish.  Every once in a while, a gold fish would live a week or so in the salt water with an eel chasing it around.

Holy cow Ink! I've always wanted to go gator hunting, which isn't exactly what you are promoting. I want to hunt and kill what I fear and a 15' gator or an 18' salt water croc, Kodiak brown bear and great white shark are on the list.

Boo

PS This also means I want a crack at Grizz, Greebo, Bruv and MickyD as well. Plus a few other "critters" in this game.

yes magnificent and when it gets full grown it shall know you as master and will handle your biddings for you...you know like eating leftovers and fetching the paper

nice pets, Ink. I'd post a pic of my kitty cat Fluffy but after your pics mine would seem ordinary. And normal.

I have absolutely no problem with hunting for food, just don't like trophy hunting

salt water set up are awesome, i've had a couple, nothing like the fresh water, but I had a very sick 55 salt that I had over $4000 into
 that was by far my favorite tank i've had.  mostly it was for a "chain link" moray.

     I am aware of that ink, but I appreciate the input none the less.  Here locally, when I had the piranhas only reds and blacks were available.  Now you can't find blacks for sale.  The only shop that had them when I kept fish like that was a little one-horse operation that closed down years ago.  Also, I was in high school when I had my piranhas.  I have seen a couple adult blacks which is where the "bear trap" analogy is from.  Although they have a nasty set when they are small too.
     I find it funny when people think reds look "vicious".  Put a red next to a Pacu and they look alike until the red opens his mouth...and the Pacu will get to be over 100 pounds or more of fat, lazy vegetarian fish.
     I would like to get into exotics again but the wife gets skittish around stuff like that.  It's a blast to take her into the bat flyway at the zoo.  She does a great vanishing act in there.

That is awesome. However I try to stay away from things that may view me as dinner.

yeah, its true , you can blame the prison guards union and the over generous retirement packages for that.
You can legally have guns in California, and shoot them too (first hand experience with both).

Must be one of the rare instances.

The In-laws were going to run the coastal hiway in kali till folks in AZ told them they frown on guns there. We do not leave the house without being well healed. In any case, they went north and dropped kali off the list of things to do.


Ink I had a 100 gallon salt setup. Yes you can spend tons on it. In my case it was worth it but I have since sold it.

Well theres your problem, just leave them at home until your going to the range or hunting... no need to flaunt, thats what cars are for

I love the salt set-ups..especially the reef systems...the 55 I had was not a reef system..well it started out like that but all the fish I love are carnivores so it didn't stay pretty very long, but it was a sick system, I had every thing you could imagine, from 4 large canister filters, UV filter,huge protean skimmer, I had 6 power heads that were timed to simulated a wave system, about 75 lbs of live rock and sand.   I sold it though myself
