snaggle Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 I would really love to keep burbot in an aquarium, however, as mentioned before they require a chiller, and can get quite large and I just don't have the accomodations fr that size, nor do i have the money. Also, I have heard from my cousin, who works at the Provincial Museum, that the museum has not been able to keep burbot alive in their aquarium, they haven't been able to keep spottail shiners either. I think I remember hearing that they couldn't keep the yellow perch alive either. Too bad. That is to bad I would love to see a cold water tank with some of these fish in it.

Toirtis Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Done a number of Canadian natives in the past myself, but my faves were the sticklebacks...fascinating nesting behaviours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picasso Trigger Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 Pike are cool, but would need a huge aquarium, even for small (6"-12") specimens. Burbot would be funky, but you would require a chiller to keep them alive. ive seen much bigger than 6" hell i caught a foot long bastard once let him go Pike are cool, but would need a huge aquarium, even for small (6"-12") specimens. Burbot would be funky, but you would require a chiller to keep them alive. ive seen much bigger than 6" hell i caught a foot long bastard once let him go oops srry quoted the wrong person im :drunk: yeah btw i was trying to quote the guy talking about the yellow perch thats what i was talking about with the foot long fish it was a perch he was big Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go4Long Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 can anyone verify wether or not the jewel cichlids are still alive in banff? or should I call the park to find out? The jewels in our tank are the girlfriends favorite(and pretty high on my list as they're fearless little bastards) so we're thinkin of maybe headin out there one day to see them as we both think it'd be pretty cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JORG Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 Permit ? Whats a permit.One time while collecting Iowa darters in Burnstick creek I was approached by a fish and wildlife officer we talked I told him what I was doing he was good with it just told me they could never be released back into the wild anywhere.

JORG Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 It was about 12 years ago and Burnstick creek is in Alberta. I think fish and wildlife has better things to do than worry about a few native fish in sombodys home aquarium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vapor Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 Yeah, like stopping them from putting them back when they become bored with them, and possibly spreading disease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
