amphipod Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I was reading articles on edicarian fauna, and I thought "what sort of extinct creatures would have been awesome in aquariums?" Any ideas. My first thought was trilobite's, they seem like a good CUC part. Link to comment

amphipod Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 That's a start of prehistory, but I'm looking more to the aquatic side. Link to comment
amphipod Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 Come on. Anyone interested in prehistoric creatures? Link to comment

amphipod Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 I'm now especially curious why I get so few replies. Link to comment
Bill Nye Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I would say a t Rex but you would need at least a 10000000 gallon tank or the t Rex police will come after you. Link to comment
Justin MD Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Much is unknown about aquatic extinction and thus the lack of interest. If I could have something long gone in a tank it would be the Kracken. Specifically the one documented in the original Clash of the Titans documentary. Link to comment
kimberbee Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I would say a t Rex but you would need at least a 10000000 gallon tank or the t Rex police will come after you. Velociraptors are better. Link to comment
RonLarimer Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I read the title and assumed you were feeding your fish grass feed beef. Link to comment
Nor_Cal_Cuber Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I thought it was a thread about some new fish pellets.... I bought this for my son for Christmas: http://www.amazon.com/Smithsonian-52041-Prehistoric-Sea-Monsters/dp/B00200JX2O Link to comment
etane Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 how about pets that are not extinct but are descended directly from prehistoric ages? Link to comment
lkoechle Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Mosasuar! I think it could fit in my 85. What do you think? If I do daily water changes Ican keep up. Plus its shallow so more horizontal swimming room! (I actually am on the hunt for a small mosasaur skeleton to mount in the fish room. Unfortunately, I missed the big fossil show this year ) I am also getting a chitton to be part of my clean up crew. Looks like a trilobite. You can play pretend! Link to comment
Snow_Phoenix Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Well, I'd keep a Liopleurodon. Just because. Link to comment

I'm sure a sea world style orca tank would suffice.https://www.paleodirect.com/mosa1.htm . those chitons look lots like trilobites, so do some of those isopods.

amphipod Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 I wonder if rugosa corals would have been pest corals? Link to comment
William halligan Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 There were some awesome bivalves back then as well Link to comment
1.0reef Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Mosasaurus, like the one in the Jurassic World trailer! I remember there being very unusual sharks as well, including the infamous Megalodon. Another cool one would've been our ancient ancestors, and the first vertebrate on earth which was a very small (>1in) fish. Link to comment
tibbsy07 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 All of us and our pets contain particles and molecules that have been around since forever, so we are all prehistoric and keeping prehistoric pets in some way. Link to comment
