Hi every one I've been meaning to introduce myself but I got side tracked when I had to make 5 post in order to buy my latest batch of chicla from lovethemfish who is a great seller btw, about me my name is Darren and I'm addicted to chicla C.r.e.a.m! I currently have 200 gallon tank stocked with 3 12" pacu 1 9-10" pacu 2 12"-13" Columbian cat sharks 3 6-8" cat sharks 4 8-11" golden tin barbs and a couple of larger plecos and also a 7-8" orinco which there were 2 but i guess the cat shark ate it cuz it just dissapered, it killed me and my new tems are in there 45 gallon grow out till they get bigger. Also I'm in the market for my next tank which can be any size over 300 gallon as long as its 30" or wider if any one has one they wanna get ride of I'm in az and would be willing to travel for the right deal. Any help would be very helpful other wise thank you for your time and thank you for welcoming me to the family

yes i do know that there a brakish water fish really a salt water cat when mature and thats my problem im in cuz there in great shape happy and heathy but i dont know enough ppl out here that would acclimate them properly as i will not ever go full salt water now i do keep about 1 tablespoon of salt per 10 gallons in my tank so i dont effect the plecos and I dont trust alot of the ppl out here on craigslist to try an adopt them out to not to say there arnt smart or trust worthy ppl on there cuz i bought them off a guy who was ready to throw them out in his lawn litterally and they have grown quite nice theres no discoloration on skin from being in the freshwater but maybe i can try here cuz they are to the point were they should be getting alot of salt which i cannot do and the little ones are on a war path of growth lately so yeah but thank you for the welcomes
