So i want to take the plunge into owning an Asian. I see loads of great looking aros and loads in white tanks. To be honest i am pretty confused about what type of aro to get so i need some advice from you experts. Here is a break down of my tank.
9x4x2 tank with glass covers
6x2.5x1.5 sump
600 UK gallon water volume
Sand substrate and black back ground
Normal white light day time and blue moon night time
Tank occupants
5 rays all over 16"
5 Datnoids all over 5" and above
2 Gars both over 16"
2 Clown loach around 6"
2 Birchirs around 16" and over
I don't want to have to use these tanning lights to get the best colour out of the aro and i don't want to buy an aro that has been kept in a white tank only to be dissapointed that the colour changes once in my tank. I like the look of reds, golds or blue base.
What would be the best type and coulr to go for and what would be the smallest size i could get considering the size of the other occupants?
Looking forward to replies all.
Thanks
