Is this possible? Give me some of your guys and gals feedbacks.
I need some opinions...here goes...
I have a 180gal and I am planning on doing an "asian style" aquarium. (crowded wannabe asian aro tank) so I was planning on raising 4-5 baby black arowana that are about 3-4 inches...all the way until full grown.. there will be other fishes such as silver dollars and flag tail and if the aros get big enough flowerhorn will be introduced to the tank also.. (in reality... its going to be a fake asian arowana community tank... but with black arowanas since I am in the States.)
I'm not trying to be rude about it.. but Please keep in mind that I am pursuing this no matter the what any one says...
I'd love to hear your feedbacks! :popcorn:
 
so why does it matter if we thinks it's feasible if you're going to do it anyways? basically that makes this thread moot...

lol true.


what do u want to hear from us? that its cool that your gonna try it?

you can try it.

but you better make sure you have someone/ or another tank to put the other aros in.

aro's will fight, especally in a crowded space.
 
DO IT.
theres no rule that says u cant keep a silver or black in a 180.
theres worst conditions out there.
personally i love stuffing a grip of fish in a tank to make it that overstocked look. as long as your water is clean enough to keep them alive. then itsall good.

theres a difference between overstocked and shoving a bunch of fish in a tank that is too small for their full grown size

I would also like to mention that my locality is "USA" so how the heck am I gonna get an Asian aro? What a noob! :screwy::screwy:
Long Boy, find me one and I will buy him from you! Is that a deal?
 
There are no rules in fish keeping, just a lot of advice that you can choose to follow or not. I like the 180 tanks that Koji (ie: asian tank) show but I question whether he had all them fish in the tanks from a young age up onto the photo shoot day. Personally I prefer 1 black or 1 silver aro in a 180g with a couple other tankmates.

"waaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh tell me my ideas are good:cry:"


I thought it was rude that they didn't even fully read my thread and started blabbering things like owning an asian aro.. that to me was rude.

If you have any suggestions on the 180 gal, go ahead and post, but you are wasting my time.
I am here to get opinions and feedbacks not get insulted.

Keep up with the filtration and water changes....With overstocked tanks, filtration must be BIG......Do a giant wet/dry sump deal.....Down the way, when the fish are grown, two 50% water changes per week.....Id stay away from any crazy fish such as Flowerhorns and Red Devils...Some, if not a lot, of the pix you see from Japan are tanks put together only for the picture taking.....Fish such as the red devil, and especially the Flowerhorn sub-orders, will defintely pair and fight off any other fish in the long run of within a year.....
