I know they will have to go out on their own some day lol. I was hoping the 300 would be good for 2 years from now considering he and the arowana are maybe 5 inches each at most

Both RTC and Aro's grow really fast. I don't know what the growth rate is on a RTC but Arro's frow at a rate of 1.5" to 2" per month! So it wont take long for them to get BIG!
The 300 would hold them for awhile, but my thinking on this is that if you buy a 125 and all necessary accessories, only to move them to a 300 (expensive tank, all by itself) and all of those accessories, and you're also having to add and increase filtration due to their growing size, you'd be better off just doing a plywood build, or even using an intex pool. See the indoor pond forum for some good ideas on this. You're already starting out in a large basement, which is great, so why not save yourself some cash and just start building what they'll be in for life? I did mine out of concrete, because i have cats, and I was worried about the durability of intex pools or even plywood builds. But if you don't have any other critters running around, a build of this size/type would be comparably cheap. Especially if you have to upgrade twice in the next two years, and then do the build on top of that!
The only reason i am taking the 125 is because its my friends he is giving it to me and trading me for my 55 bc he jus wants a few discus or somethng so i just have to buy a filter and a stand
OK so i did the waterchange my parameters are good but my tank looks like it has a hint of yellow.?.?.?
My catfish is back to normal as well he hasnt done the deathroll thing since but the only thng added to the tank was stress coat when i did the water change ne ideas?
