Hello,
Im new here, though Ive been reading on this forum for a while. I was hoping to get some feedback from you guys. I have a standard size 6ft. 150 gallon tank, a Fluval FX5, 36 watt Turbo Twist UV sterilizer, two large power heads, and one aerator for a 300 gallon tank. The bottom is white sand. I have two large rocks, and three pieces of driftwood in the tank. I have sold or given away all my fish, and I want to start completely over. My tank receives professional service once a month, and I do small water changes on my own once a week. This is what I wanted to do:
One Blue Arrowana
One Datnoid Any suggestions on the best one to go with this tank?
Two Ornate Bichirs
One Lima Shovel-Nosed Cat
I was looking at keeping the tank around 78 degrees, 6.0 PH, no salt. Would any of my fish have issue with these conditions in your experiences? Also, I know that the Arrowana is a risk, but I have read many stories of people keeping them in even smaller tanks for years. I have read that they rarely get as large as they could in captivity. If an Arrowana is absolutely too big for my tank, what about a stingray suited for this tank?
I welcome any feedback. I want this tank to work for all of its occupants. Also, does anyone have any suggestions on where you could order better than average specimens all in one place? We are limited on good fish stores in my area.
Thanks!
Adam
