500 gal stocklist

[nes999]

1 tsn
1 rtc
1 oxydous niger
2 peacock bass

will this be over stocked? i plan on buying them as juvies. also would i beable to add a tsn/rtc hybrid also?

the cats might eventually out grow it, but the pbass would be fine in there for life!

 

[nes999]

how long would it be until they grew it out?

 

[scriving]

i think a few years you could get more pbass though

 

[nes999]

what about adding a tsn x rtc hybrid?

My cousins rtc took him 3 years to grow out his 180g, so i think you should have some time. wish i had a 500g to play with.

its supposed to come in tuesday. it has to go down a narrow stair way. i hope me and brother (we live together) will be able to lift it ourselves down the stairs if not i have no clue how to do it.

I wouldn't try it with only 2 people, i needed 2 people for my 125 and it was extremely heavy imagine a 500g.

that is a recipe for disaster..... keeping any pbass besides tems with xl cats is like serving a bass dinner to them. you may be alright for a little bit but you would def. need to get the pbass first and give them a healthy headstart. and the tems would outgrow the 500gal by the way. you would be alright for a while but you will need a pond for the cats eventually.
