700 gallon Fish Stocking Ideas

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Seriously fish also said silver arowana needs public aquarium to keep one. Or a 96x36x36 for a bass. I bet only a small % of fishkeepers on here a have a 500g or bigger. Bottom line is, it's cruel to keep fish in a box. No amount of aquarium can compare to the volume the fish from the lakes and rivers. We can only give them the biggest size tank we can. And the best care we can give them.
Bro seriously fish gives the most wild measurements yah.
silver arowana minimum as given by others is 8 x 3 x 2 ft/ 8 x 4 x 2
for the bass, it depends on what species. Kelberi, ocellaris, mono etc require 6 x 2 x 2, although if I’m not wrong Tony A. Tony A. or someone here breeds them in 4 x 2 x 2. Temensis I would agree with the above tank size.

related to the thread,the fish I can think of which can fit in the pond:

- florida gar
- any type of arowana
- any species of peacock bass
- freshwater rays
- bichirs (may not look good too view)
- tiger shovel nose/ tigrinus
- datnoids
- amartus payara (fast flowing water required)
- vittatus African tiger fish (fast flow water required)

above is the general predatory fish which won’t outgrow 700g, just don’t overstock! ??

I disagree that Seriously Fish gives wild measurements.

-Silver arowana: For a fish that gets 1-1.22m long, a 91cm wide tank is not going to provide enough turning space, and 2.44m of length is quite minimal for exercising/swimming length.
-Peacock bass: C. ocellaris reaches 75cm according to Seriously Fish, for example. A 1.83m x 61cm x 61cm tank, like with the arowana, is very tight.
That same issue applies to the recommended tank sizes for all the other species of peacock bass, except perhaps C. kelberi.

They're not trying to give wild measurements, they're trying to educate potential keepers on optimal tank sizes. And I don't know about you, but I feel it should (at least to a degree) be common sense that a fish which gets as wide as or wider than a tank, for example, is too big for the tank, since its size makes for very uncomfortable turning.

Ultimately, though, I digress. This discussion might be best had in another thread.

You don't need to take it that far!
