Unfortunately Kaleeko passed away a few months ago :(
It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.

WOW I cant belive how much she has grown!! Fata$$ is nearly 4 years old now and I think he's done growing now. Total length 13"s and FAT! LOL .. soon I will be uploading some pics as well. Im just waiting on my square pin compact fluorescents to come for some descent light! Here in wpg we are soo limited as to what you can get for livestock/supplies! It sucks.. back in the GTA i never had an issue! PS: I moved ... He went on a 2300km car ride in a 10 gallon tank on the backseat... and every few hours i blew air into the water with a wendys straw LOL =) He;s still kicking though!! Poor guy!

PS: Do you still have your MBU? I remember the last time we chatted you were getting some structural engineering done for a masssive tank LoL =)

*cheers*

Yes unfortunately Kaleeko did pass away, but I visit him often. He has a nice resting place :D

As for Nala she's pretty awesome.. fed her a huge crayfish the other night, and omg did she go to town! Needless to say, she was a very happy puffer after that. :D I hope Nala gets 20 inches!!

I just love the clear black outline Nala has around her red stripes! She has such a special print for a fahaka!

I've moved the pricing argument to another thread. It does not belong in this one so if you're so inclined please continue it where it belongs.

Nala and her tank are both gorgeous.
