ummmmm put him in my pool with the 40" aligator gar and 42" nigers and hybrid cats and pacus and purruno cats and big redtail cats,
i just thought he'd be a little small for the pool yet, and that i could enjoy seeing him in the tank for a while, although he would go right in with all my big fish, you can only view them looking down on them untill i get the cement pond built this winter, it will have a 55" x 8 foot viewing window, that i already have waiting on the build, so what kinda deal are we gonna work out
I'd probably just give it to you, especially if I need to re-home because the Goonch out grew my tank and I wasn't able to upgrade. Sounds like you're set up to keep large cats long term
It's about the fish really, so yeah, I will donate the Goonch when that time comes For a life time membership to the "Fish Room" 
ahhhh good question, ive answered that before in other threads ive made, but ill answer it in this one also
i feed 6 pounds of shrimp and 6 pounds of hotdogs every other day and then i feed the growouts everyday, and on the days that i dont feed the big fish , i throw in pellets to various tanks, so lets add this up, 6 lbs of shrimp = 30 x 15 days a month is 450 a month in shrimp actaully a little less cuz i miss a feeding every once in a while, and the hot dogs i get from marks for 75 cents a pack x 6 packs = 4.50 x 15 days a month is 67.00 a month and i buy a 50lb bag of pellets for 30.00 every 4 months or so, a total of about thats like about 527 a month in food for the fish, if i feed on schedule, but like i said i miss at least 3-4 days a month, so it is about 500 a month for food, it sounds like a lot when i add it up, so i usually dont

Wow love your dedication to this man!! And yeah I try and feed my bullhead hot dogs when I am between paychecks and run out of shrimp he will take a few chunks but then he won't touch them I know he can eat a lot more because of how much shrimp he eats I guess he just doesn't like them Hahah

This is awesome! Do you still have those 6 clown loaches you bought from me a couple years back? I'd feel a lot better about having to sell them knowing they're living there, haha.
A lot of those tanks look familiar too. I'm guessing you cleaned out the Cleveland Aquarium Adventure when it closed? (I work at the Columbus one)
