thanks ! i apreciate it, the blacks (3 ) and 1 silver are around the 7-8" mark in the 150 gallon which i will eventually have to upgrade tank size. and i have one giant silver 22" in the 400 ,as well as a 14" silver and a 10" jardini .

and yes i do know the size of my aquarium LOL

So I am assuming the 22" has the DE, this is the only silver with DE. Hoping that you will never post that your other silvers get DE. If they do though please post if it came on gradually or if it was a sudden event, as with my silver.

Currently I think akskirmish is the only member here that has a large silver without DE. With some luck you may be able yto do the same.

Hopefully I can continue this also----
we will see what the future holds though......One day though-Just like many out their-the poor aro will outgrow my tank also---so in the end-I believe it will happen---But just how long will it take to get to the DE point-
 
My arowan is 7in and has had ping pong balls in the tank for months now. I have only ever fed him floating food or make him take it from my hand at the surface if it does sink. About 2 weeks ago he ramed the side of the 180g tank really had busting of one of his barbs and a few days later I noticed that the same side that the barb was missing his eye had a slight drop

Since I noticed the eye I have blacked out the sides of the tank except for 3in at the top with black garbage bags and believe it or not I have seen a slight improvement.

I cant leave these in place for ever and was wondering has anyone ever tried that film that you can put on glass that is one way viewing so I can see into the tank but the fish cannot look out and hence down? Also I saw something about using blinking christmas tree lights in the canopy of the tank to keep the aro's attention which should work better than ping pong balls anyone ever tried this?

i honestly never thought my fish would outgrow a 400 gallon tank, but unfortunatly it is a grim reality i am facing probably in 12 months. i may not go tank but perhaps a large size pool, i will be losing the side view for a overhead look but at least the fish can swim a bit more naturaly and have a lot more free swiming space . maybe a plexi sided pool ?

There are a couple of threads on here about it but some people opted for a cement tank with windows in the size. If that is something you would consider that is the way I would go. here is a link for a general Idea...
