Arius seemanni River Tank

[blackwolfXKAV]

I would like to find out what exactly is the best way to setup a tank for these guys.
I know they need BW @ the bare minimum, and then full SW when adults. I have also read that they enjoy a high flow tank, and that they are rather constant swimmers.

what is the most appropriate (NOT MINIMUM, PLEASE) sized tank for one of these?

if adding more than one (which is what i plan to do anyways, to establish a shoal), what then becomes the appprppriate tank size? (ie, if the original tnak size is 100g, then would a tank for two be 200g?)

can anyone recommend a good form of making rapid currents? (also, it would need to be SW/BW proof)

lastly, anyone here have some pictures or experiences w/ these beatiful fish?

Thanks, Black

These fish are just plain awesome.

Growth rate: 1 inch per month

Powerheads and wavemakers for flow

Overfilter, they love to eat

I would say 100 gallons is good for 3 adults

I have seen them at over a foot at a LFS

PM or ]V[onster Chat if you have questions

I'd go for 6x2x2 if I were going to keep them. Sandy substrate, keep a trio, get some other fish like Scats and Monos to add a bit more interest to the tank. Get a couple of powerheads for one end, add some seagrass and vallis, and you're away. With high brackish there are plenty of cool oddballs you can get as well, gymnothorax eels, puffers, toadfish, archers etc.

It's a tank I think about doing quite a bit.
