[rattlermike]

i am looking for ant thing weird and out of the ordanary for my 500 gallon show tank i have a tiger fish arowana shovel nose bricher ell and a lg ghost knife i want some thing that is just plain cool..
the tank its self is a good looking tank so i need to do it the justice

[piranha45]

a couple gold and a couple silver datnoids

[reefman]

dat are cool but but how about a rtc or a spotted rtc

[tigerfangs]

How about Gar or Clown Knife

[guppy]

Greater siren, looks like a purple sea snake, actually an amphibian, get 36"+ and eat small fish. Very different.

[rattlermike]

i do have a gold dat in there allready i think it is the same as the tiger fish also i do have a big black ghost knife but it hides behind my log overflow cover what about a fw stingray i know little about them and really am intrested in them

[reefman]

fw stingrays are cool and fun to watch as they do chin ups on the glass and sswim up the front of your tank if you get one get a motorro they are a very good beginer ray :cheers:

I used to keep some baby striped bass in my 135. they ate flakes, pellets, minnows, guppies, whatever fit their mouths. Maybe go catch some big ones and throw them in there,

Where would I get one I looked on the net but onlt found info, no place to buy.

[Cohazard]

What about a giant gourami?

[guppy]

I,ve been looking for them and candiru, so far no luck. sorry.

[e!o!z!]

We need a member from Florida to catch a couple from the wild, Great sirens. I don't think you can find them in North Alabama but I will check into it.

[wolf-attack]

how about a wolf fish

[evilfish]

if i were you i'd go for a gar, what are your tanks dimensions?? if its big enough, you could get the lepisteoss osseus. long nose gar. they kick ass!!

Are you looking for 'TRUE' Candiru. The parasitic cetopsis sp.? :) I can get em.. I also can get the other 'Candiru' aka Ituglanis Amazonicus.

Last time I imported the amazonicus, they went 'parasitic' on the group of catfish that was next door to them. They weazled through the divider and ate them all out from the inside. I watched one enter one gill plate, and exit the other.

[Miles]

Add some Stingrays to the existing group (with caution..)

OR

Ditch all that other stuff and get yourself a MBU PUFFER!!!

They are the neatest monster fish of all time, IMO :) Good Luck with tankmates.

[nwilson7]

I agree with a mbu puffer. Great Fish, Just cant find one!

[Weylin]

Get a devil cat... but it would prob kill some of ur fish...

[Gr8KarmaSF]

This is a 3 year old thread...im sure he has something by now! LOL

[Weylin]

Damn... I did'nt even see the date....

[Supes13]

thus ends another thread...sigh

[itzo]

I can only dream of a 500gallon some day! :p i think a big clown knife could be nice..

[killerfish]

silver dats are brackish so there a no go

just so you know tiger shovel nose and red tail catfish will out grow you tank

Clown knife , polypterus , Gars , Giant gourami

[barrakooda]

gigas would definitely be awesome as well as snakeheads!!!

[likestofish]
