t-man Posted February 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) Cool little guy, where did you get it? Thanks. It came from a fellow hobbyist in Halifax. It originally came from "Below Water". No pun intended! LOL Edited May 8, 2012 by t-man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-man Posted February 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) Lucky, I have a curipira but it doesnt compare to the real thing. I had a Curipira too and sold it to a guy in Okotoks. If I was to keep something other then the Aimara it would have to be the Curipira. I liked my Black too and now I am just wondering myself why I sold it???I just remembered why...It bite up one of my stingray pups real bad after the mom gave birth. Stingray survived and the wounds healed except it was left with a club tail. Can't keep wolves in tanks that will be having stingray pups! Too tempting for them to chow down.

pagani Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Awesome fish, I have a large one too. He is super active and seems to know me, he doesn't like other people, just me. I added a few RBP to the tank and he rules over them but rarely touches them. Very cool fish, awesome personality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t-man Posted June 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Sad you are selling him man, still a baby. As long as I don't get low balled hopefully he will go to a nice home with a big tank. But if someone wants it for nothing I will keep him and he will eventually go from the 150 gallon to the 230 gallon once my 520 gallon is done and can hold all my inhabitants from the 230 gallon. I am so done giving away expensive fish for nothing. It just recently happened to my 22" Aba knife fish. Paid $530 for it including shipping and ended up getting only $70 store credit from the only fish store that would take him. That was after advertising him for a while on fish sites and Kijiji. I figure the reason for this is either people don't have the money and/or big enough tank. This is a rare fish just like the Aba was and like the Aba there is only a few in Canada. There was a list started on "Hoplias Aimara keepers" on MFK and it ended at 19. This was fish keepers from all over the world. So this definitely isn't a fish you are going to pick up at the local fish store. Hoplias Aimara fetch a high price as they have to travel deep into the jungle to catch them now as they are over fished anywhere near civilization.My only problem if I keep him, it might outgrow my 230 gallon and I won't have a bigger tank to put it into as my other tanks will be housing my rays.
