Mahi movie

[Bob 1000]

This had to be easily the best fish I've ever owned..
I got this from a freind a while back.. I couldn't believe that I was able to obtain a small one. These things are usually around 1ft seen.. It was a gift I didn't have to pay for it and didn't plan on keeping it forever as they grow to be about 5ft, aerial acrobats, and are the fastest growing fish..http://s162.photobucket.com/albums/t269/stagebeds/?action=view&current=mahimovie2.flv

Bob, that is one neat fish. I noticed the caulerpa prolifera. Are you going to leave that in the tank or is it just for the cycle

 

[Bob 1000]

I was jealous of the guy I got it from,,lol.. This was a must have.. Evening knowing it would eat my biggest fish in about 3 month's time,,lol..

My denitrifier held the tank dosing it with good bacteria daily, it never cycled..

 

[Bob 1000]

Thanks Reef Reaper and Alex yes I did speak to you about this fish before.. The camera is my sx110is canon It has a Macro video mode.. I love this camera..

 

[Bob 1000]

Huffnpuffer you like the hand feedings,,lol..

 

[Galantra]

it is nice, So you are telling me in about 3 months it will be 5ft?

 

[Bob 1000]

No maybe a year it would have took for it to grow to that size in the wild.. Not sure on the tank growth.. This think was hand fed 10 more times like in the video 2x daily,, it could eat..

That fish belongs in the ocean. What are your long term plans for it?

Not sure if ANY of us have ANY fish, that doesn't belong in the ocean...that being said...does anyone advise that THIS fish is RETURNED to the ocean! I would think that the only option is public aquarium, or fish fry!

Mahi get huge and are extremely fast growers. I routinely catch these fish over 20lbs (they do get to be over 50lbs+). Tobin if you can keep him alive until next summer I will take him out on the boat and release him with other small mahis. He looks real skinny. Is he eating?
Very cool to see one so small

 

[deepblue68]

that was a cool video.good luck with him while it last.

 

[Bob 1000]

This fish has a super appettite, it ate 12 feedings like the hand feeding you see in the video 2x a day before it wouldn't eat any more and then 12 hours later it's stomach was skinny like it was never fed..

Please bro,,, there is a phrase at the bottom of the first post that say's "Hate me now".. Just for people like yourself.. Blind hate.. Only come on the forums to be arguementive... No place here for that..
1.The fish was accicentally caught in some macro algae, by the time it was realized it was to late..
2.Fish placed in a system foreign to the place it was caught, should not be returned to the wild..
3. This fish is now in a bigger system meant for fish this size that get bigger..
Seriously the last thing you can say is I'm new to this.. I have plans that can even make your system run better and smoother...
Nothing but love over here,,lmao..
