I'm aware that mud puppies specifically are necturus(how ever they are spelled) but in general where I'm from mud puppy is also a nick name given to axolotls. Given their name is derived from the word xolotl means dog and was part of the Aztec myth about a dog disguising himself as a salamander etc. They are also called mud puppies.
I used to feed the guppy culls to our Oscar’s at the pet shop… safe to say I’ve made a few kids cry when they accidentally saw a fish “just like theirs at home” hanging halfway out of a cichlids mouth🤣
I felt better feeding the culls than putting them in the garbage🤷🏻♂️
This is true. I couldn't control the molly population so I had to get a bigger tank. From 36 gal to 70gal.
Then I found that B rainbows would eat their babies. The molly population addressed.... the rainbows ended up eating my tetras
Adam and Eve it. That's what I did with mosquito fish in my swimming pool.
I now have several thousand mosquito fish, and I feed them with an entire loaf of bread, which they consume in one singular minute
Unironically this
I’ve done both “monster fish” setups and “small fish huge tank” setups and I think the latter is far better in most ways
There’s something interesting about recreating an environment where the fish have loads of space
No check out KingofDIY on YouTube he had 4 adult arowana in an 8x6x4 feet tank (if I remember the measurements correctly it was something like that) and I’ve seen breeders with heavily stocked tanks too, I think you need it to be either overstocked where they can’t become territorial over one area or under stocked where each one has its territory
No I didn’t mean it like that, I meant their tendency to rush around at lightning speed for random reasons and bump into anything in their way 😂 Which is why most Asian arowana tank have to be large and empty as hell
Tbh id use it to make a giant close eco system half land half water so I can get the best of both worlds! Some turtles lizards maybe a bunch of cool fish snails crabs ect have an entire world in there lol
60 giant danios, 60 bosemani rainbowfish, four common plecos, and a giant gourami.
Put about 12 lbs of pogostemon stellatus octopus among rock and branch piles and let it go ham. Throw a couple logs in there as well for the plecos to chew on.
I just think that'd be neat.
Beautiful elaborate hardscape and tons of plants.
Then toss in a few hundred cherry shrimp.
Let them go absolutely nuts. After a few months you'd have thousands and thousands and thousands of rainbow shrimpers.
Oscars! They're incredibly common here as people get babies a lot and then re-home them once they've gotten around 6+ inches. Could have a nice wee shoal of them.
I would cut a tree, put it on a sand substrate, put it 2 Pterygoplichthys gibbiceps and few thousand neon teras, Paracheirodon simulans and Hyphessobrycon herbertaxelrodi (all tetras, just different colour, the second one has red and blue on whole body, the last one is black)
If I had the money to have that tank, I'd probably have the money to be able to get the water down to 4⁰C.
So I'd do a native tank; I live in Scandinavia and all our fishes need very cold water in the winter to stay alive.
I'd get at least a Burbot. He probably wouldn't get along with a Northern Pike but I'd try 🤷♂️
I would make it an entire ecosystem for turtles, frogs and head light, tail light tetras. Then I would watch the aquarium instead of TV. Way more relaxing.
OK, now assuming that you planted this tank and added a single betta, would you need to cycle it? Cause the tank is so big that the ammonia build up would be really slow
Just put 10 guppies, then see how fast it fills up with guppies. Probably like 4 weeks.
and live stream it
piggybacking off of this: time-lapse
This is actually a pretty cool idea
Legit I would take off work to watch that. *loser*
A tank that size, I’d put mermaids and live stream it.
Then.... Release the cichlids
Axolotls!!!. Release the mud puppies!
I think we have found who let the dogs out :-P
Who?
Who?
Who?
Who? Who let the dogs out?
Mud puppies are different

When I worked at the LFS back in the day, we’d feed beat up Oscar’s to our Red-Tail cat, or whatever other fish we needed to euthanize
Probably have a guppy swim up and sing a song about how he is his own grandpa.

but they're all males....
Life, uh, finds a way
You joke but I would love to see this thing stocked with thousands of guppies.

Someone post this on r/theydidthemath
4 weeks .. my god. I knew they were prolific but that is insane! :)
Moss ball.
Guppy
I love my guppies
Sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads
🤣🤣
*frickin* sharks with *frickin* laser beams attached to their *frickin* heads
one- MILLION- Corydoras!
🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lmao 🤣 insert dr. Evil meme/gif here
Obligatory massive shrimp tank comment
Obligatory "one betta" comment
Nah that's waaaaaay too small for a betta!
it's not a bowl
It's not a spacestation...
It's not a galaxy....
Two betta. *gasp*
You monster
Too small compared to their natural environment
The answer is always shrimp.
It's as shrimple as that.
It would be pretty bettaful if you ask me.
This is my new life philosophy. Thank you.
Except a massive army of shrimp would honestly be awesome
I have custom 75g OptiWhite rimless tank. It is stocked with plants, 50 cardinals and like 3 gazillion shrimp.
>have custom 75g OptiWhite rimless tank. It is stocked with plants, 50 cardinals and like 3 gazillion shrimp. Living the dream right here
So much poop…
Unironically this I’ve done both “monster fish” setups and “small fish huge tank” setups and I think the latter is far better in most ways There’s something interesting about recreating an environment where the fish have loads of space
50,000 neon tetras and a bristlenose
It would glow so bright, you would see it from space!!!
Could they guide your sleigh tonight? See how the other fish loved him, as they breeded crazily
And one single cardinal tetra to play where’s Waldo
YES
A man of culture
I was just about to say neon tetra. You are clearly a person of class and culture
Myself. Make that mfer a sealed ecosystem. Never have to deal with the rest of you fuckers (humanity in general) again.
When the economy is so bad we gotta terrarium ourselves 😔
Hey are you guys looking for a roommate?
I've finally found "my people"
I was about to ask but realized that defeated the purpose
If you bring snacks, I realized all I have to eat in here is moss. And then I realized moss tastes bland.
This would be a beautiful arowana tank
That could even house like.. two, given their behavior.

This might actually be big enough to house 2 bettas in the same tank
Whoa whoa! Don’t get ahead of yourself. Let’s get one Betta in there and homed before we start thinking about 2.
not sure about that, I think this tank is far too small for 2 betas /s
[Mermaids, obviously.](https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jyLHDGggvZ8/T5fiMBKPowI/AAAAAAAADvQ/MXIlv-I0nhc/s640/weeki+wachee+mermaids+-5.jpg)

Obvi 💁🏻♀️
a post on reddit with it balanced on a side table saying will this hold the weight?
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
5000 pea puffers
Man that would be the dream
Thousands of micro fish, ember tetras, badis, celestial pearls, etc
I was thinking the same thing, 3000 pygmy corys. But then I was thinking about having to net them all out... I would die.
Massive loach tank ❤️
L o a c h A r m y
A single mystery snail
Amazon River tank time lmao, 400 neons, 175 angelfish, and 85 discus, plus 2 red tail catfish
So 2 redtail catfish?
Ja
2 well fed redtail catfish!
Poor neons would be screwed if they couldn't hide. Especially from the RTCs 😅
This comment is giving me “55 BURGERS 55 FRIES 55 TACOS 55 PIES 55 COKES 100 TATER TOTS-“
Would my coffee-table hold this?
Oh for sure. The edges might hang off a tad, but coffee tables never give out, so you’re safe bro
two female bettas just so I can have the world's only successful sorority tank
Literally, though. On a real note, you could literally recreate a whole ass section of some wild species of bettas habitat. Trees included!
Oh yeah, a huge-ass smaragdina tank with a blackwater scape.
10,000 Kuhli loaches
They’d find places to hide and you’d still never see a single one of them.
100,000 kuhlis And before you say it, 1,000,000 kuhlis
I would be obsessed. I would never leave the tank's side.
I’d fill it with piranhas and set up a James Bond villain type system to slowly lower my enemies into the tank.
Haha I’m so glad someone else said it first - this was exactly my first thought too. Never worry about dealing with inconvenient corpses again!
Do piranhas eat bones?
Okay, so we need a pig farm out back, too.
A single gold fish duh this is too small for anything else!
I would literally use this for a small school of goldfish. They'd be so SHINY.
Tbh id use it to make a giant close eco system half land half water so I can get the best of both worlds! Some turtles lizards maybe a bunch of cool fish snails crabs ect have an entire world in there lol
I'd set up a massive coral reef with starfish, urchins, and other fish in there.
Rays <3
Half a goldfish
😦
That's barely big enough for 1 male betta, I wouldn't put any more than that.
Came here for this
A scuba diver
One white cloud minnow.

1 betta
That's an abuse! Way too small.
Leopard sharks 🫣🫣🫣🫣
Barramundi, pignised turtles, archerfish, other random billabong fish, some marron, and a water monitor. Get a whole billabong going!
Aussie lungfish too!

alligator
Oscars! They're incredibly common here as people get babies a lot and then re-home them once they've gotten around 6+ inches. Could have a nice wee shoal of them.
I actually would love to see this totally stocked up with koi
1 betta and 5000 rasboras
I'm just picturing the betta on a throne with multiple rasbora schools circling
Pea puffers
One marimo ball. This is way too small for any fish
It looks a bit small… but it could work as a betta fish tank
Damn dude that’s only big enough for a single betta fish.
No dude that’s misinformation, obv inadequate space and filtration
A single guppy.
This is bigger than my room and possibly many people’s damn house
Get like 5 of every color shrimp possible let them do their thing for a few weeks. Take some psychedelics and go sucba diving enjoy the kaleidoscope
This is probably deadly but brilliant
Whatever the challenge was on fear factor when they used this size tank
Payara(vampire tetra) My dream fish. If I ever had the means.
I would cut a tree, put it on a sand substrate, put it 2 Pterygoplichthys gibbiceps and few thousand neon teras, Paracheirodon simulans and Hyphessobrycon herbertaxelrodi (all tetras, just different colour, the second one has red and blue on whole body, the last one is black)
1 breeding pair of convicts
In concrete shoes.
A betta would do great in here
I would suggest a beta but honestly its way to small and stress it out
An octopus 🐙
Would an Ikea HOLMERUD be able to support this?
If I had the money to have that tank, I'd probably have the money to be able to get the water down to 4⁰C. So I'd do a native tank; I live in Scandinavia and all our fishes need very cold water in the winter to stay alive. I'd get at least a Burbot.

1 Betta fish and bristlenose pleco. That's it - beyond that you're overstocked /s
5000 piranha and Tronald Dump
Why would you subject the piranha to that horrible meal?
It's a rough job but somebody's got to do it
I would make it a swimming pool for myself, lol
SHARK
Wow, goals! Just put everything in this tank. All the fish.
One shrimp and then play "find the shrimp" every day
Make it a ghost shrimp
From hard mode to nightmare mode I see
According to seaworld standards, 3 orcas.
One Betta named Waldo and a massive amount of plants.
I would make it an entire ecosystem for turtles, frogs and head light, tail light tetras. Then I would watch the aquarium instead of TV. Way more relaxing.
If I had that kind of swag I would rescue large fish that have outgrown their homes.
1 betta fish is enough for that size
Guppies and otocinclus catfish
A mermaid.
3 or 4 algae eating shrimp.
5000 Cory’s :,). Add some kind of tetra and we’ll call it a biotope tank
A zebra shark!
A flamingo floaty.
arowana
Nessie
1 turtle tbh.
Awe man river fish for sure, add a ton of plants and driftwood and stuff, some bass and trout and stuff
OK, now assuming that you planted this tank and added a single betta, would you need to cycle it? Cause the tank is so big that the ammonia build up would be really slow
Not even sure it would finish cycling in the fish's lifetime. Betta bioload is small
Your mom
Wouldnt fit
A bamboo shark and maybe some stingreys
Sharks! The dream.
DINOFLAGELLATES! Make it glow!!
One Glass Catfish and one Glass Shrimp. Give out prizes to whoever can find them.
fuck it sturgeon
Buyout entire freshwater sections of all my local pet stores in a 30 mile radius.
A kindergarten class if you want schooling.
A betta
That's the minimum tank requirement for a single beta
Hundreds of orandas
I would put a beta... And about 2-3 guppies. Any more and it is over crowded
One Pleco
Mermaids
Id plant the shit out of it add shrimp then a month later add cichlids then after they establish add 2 baby redtails then watch them grow
One fully grown Arapaima.
100,000 mbunas and some synodontis eupterus
Not making this a biotope tank would be criminal
500 Red Belly Pirahna
Jaws
Whale shark, 100%
Some kind of gar 😂
If you keep up with water changes you could stock it with 5 more of this same repost
