sweet tank! On a side note though, I don't think i would really add any stock considering the size potential of the adult specimens you already have. That Arowana is going to need a bigger tank soon.

Looks good for now.

Like has been said, you're going to need a bigger tank for that arrow. Do you have plans to upgrade to a bigger tank, or plans to he-home him once he gets bigger?

I would not add a snakehead with that livestock. You don't want any of your expensive stock to get torn up/eaten.

Thank you,
Hope I answered your question on the reply to seedubs question.

Channa Pleuropthalma is one of the most pacific snakeheads there are impressive my cousin has a 40cm one with a red aro and totally pacific. But yes when these monsters grow I will add a 500 gallon and rearrange the fish in both tanks. In this one I was planning to keep it bright, Like a asian aro with the stingray and the poly plus a cichla and one or two dats. Then on the bigger one I was planning to do a more dark aquarium with a pair of leopoldi's, the clown knife, the tigrinus, 2 black aros, 1 silver, a spotted gar, a giant gourami (the black ones with red fins , anyone know the name?), the snakehead, and some dats with black sand on the bottom. But that all comes with time

looks like all the fish are healthy and well taken care of,keep up the good work.

Thanks



Oh and forgot to say I am also planning adding a Spotted Gar, but as I said It will go to the other tank.

Looks good. Just wondering...Does that L600 or even your Endli bother your Motoro?

Thanks, No I had that concern because or plecos and poly's go well with stingrays or they go really bad but luckily the poly and the motoro are like bff's! hehe and the pleco is shy but all runs cool. I think with the panaque coming in there will be no problem because panaques and stingrays usually get along well, the only problem is too see how will the tigrinus get along with the stingray?We will just have to wait and see.

your going to have to get a larger tank.
like a 700 gallon tank.
But you do have an amazing stock.

The fish look well taken care of and I enjoyed the feeding video. Looking forward to when you upgrade to a larger tank.

Thank You both, Yeah I will uprgrade to a 700 probably, and rearrange the stock in both tanks. And probably add some more babies
