Just sharing my newest pick up. I got a 3 inch Nile Perch for 120 Dollars today from another member on the site. He will be raised in a 220 gal, With a Goliath African Tiger Fish who is currently 4 inches. I'm looking for ideas for tank mates for these guys that won't outgrow them and eat them or stress them out to much. I was thinking slightly smaller pbass and slightly larger arowana? I obviously don't plan to house these fish for life, I'm just raising them up because big specimens can fetch a heavy price tag and these are some fun aggressive fish to raise. Other fish I was thinking of combining with them were smaller rays and red tail payaras. Any ideas or feed back is very welcome and I'll do my best to get pics up asap.
 
I had a 10 inch nile perch in a 125 with a 23 inch black shark. They were both crazy agressive. Couldn't keep anything with those two. Sold the perch to a guy on another site and the shark is in my brothers pond in Florida. I just know the Nile Perch was very nasty.

Thanks a ton Allan I can't wait to see how he gets along w/ the goliath tiger..... could be interesting. But Black sharks can be wicked nasty too I've heard.
 
First you have to get the pic on your computer. Then I ususally upload stuff to photobucket, then click on the insert image tag when you post a quick reply. It's the box with the tree in it. Then all you do is paste the url from the photo in photobucket.
 
either attach the camera to the computer, or put the memory card in a memory card reader connected to your computer.
