The hybrids are my favorite, for sure. They seem to be bigger than the yard stick?? They were bickering in the beginning of the video. 😂
@Fish-Story
@Fish-Story 2 месяца назад
You saw it wasn't easy, they wouldn't stay still or straight for long or at all :) I estimate from my underwater viewer perspective the bigger hybrid to be a little over 3ft by 2-3 inches maybe, and the smaller to be a little under by same amount.

I made my own measuring stick. I got an ahesive tape measure. It's up to 4' I believe. I cut it at 3'. I attached it to a pvc stick that is weighed down so the tape is always facing up as long as possible. Tie a string to it and ur all set.

Cool.. Thanks for this. I was having Jacques Cousteau flashbacks. One of those Pacu could snip off a finger, toe, of another part, if you were bathing. Seen it on River Monsters.

Haha... yeah Jacques Cousteau haha... About the pacu - really? I've heard of the manhood anecdotes but not digits. Where could I learn more? I did NOT like it at all how close and attentive the 2 pacu were, I had to lightly push and kick them away.

@@Fish-Story The episode was about the "manhood" incidents. I only assume they could snip off a digit with those human like teeth. And I know they like to eat fallen nuts from trees, bite through wires, lines plastic liners...

Would be really easy to paint the measurements on the bottom of the glass. We could all really get the sense of their growth that way. Just a thought
@Fish-Story
@Fish-Story 2 месяца назад
There are foot and half-foot marks all around the perimeter of the viewing window but the fish rarely line up by the window plus the optics makes them look smaller by about 10% than they really are.
@KuhliLoachTrainer
@KuhliLoachTrainer 2 месяца назад
Quite a contrast to my situation:) I can estimate the sizes of trained loaches by holding them as usual and later measuring the length of hand space they took up.
@Fish-Story
@Fish-Story 2 месяца назад
Great tip for smaller fish, never occurred to me! Perhaps I could try to use my forearm or whole arm in addition to the hand?
@KuhliLoachTrainer
@KuhliLoachTrainer 2 месяца назад
Happy to help.😊 I certainly think you could do so. For example: you swim up to a fish, put your arm and hand next to it with your hand starting at the head, and take note of a landmark of where your arm ends on the fish. Then, using a photo of the fish in a straight position, you can find out with the landmark the percentage of the length your arm and hand take up of the fish. And, being able to measure your arm and hand easily, it will be just as easy to get the length of the fish from the percentage your arm and hand take up.

@@KuhliLoachTrainer Thank you. I don't understand the complexity and the need for a photo. Someone else would have to photograph me with my arm next to a fish? Very tall order. It's pretty hard to have your arm next to a fish - they are afraid of you and don't stay still. The only feasible scenario I have in my head right now is to place my arm next to a fish when I have caught them for rehoming, like inside a net with the fish and net still in water.
@KuhliLoachTrainer
@KuhliLoachTrainer 2 месяца назад
You're welcome! If it helps, what I was referring to with the photo thing was a pre-existing photo of the fish, not someone taking the photo of you attempting to size up the fish. Shouldn't be too complicated. This of course assumes fish that are not afraid of you. As I mentioned I do my equivalent of this with fish trained to do this, if they are too afraid of you as opposed to just afraid of the measuring stick, I agree it is a challenge.
@Fish-Story
@Fish-Story 2 месяца назад
@@KuhliLoachTrainer It took me some time until I figured out you are talking about a case where a fish being measured is longer than my arm and hand together. Now I understood it. ... The fear an approaching object instills in fish is proportional to the object size, at least that is what I observe and deem reasonable.
