How Would You Stock a 4300 Gallon Tank?

lots and lots of red bellied piranhas

If they weren't illegal in Louisiana, I'd have rhombus

go saltwater. Catfish and other fish arn't that cool when you have 24inch triggers patroling the waters.

24inch triggers arnt as cool as 500 4inch piranhas burn

3x P. endlicheri congicus
3x P. endlicheri endlicheri
3x P. bichir bichir
2x P. bichir lapradei (at least 1 nigerian)
1x P. ansorgii
1x P. sp. "Dabola"
1x P. sp. "Koloton"
1x P. sp. "Koliba"

1x GATF - Hydrocynus Goliath

3x African Aros - Heterotis niloticus

My brain is really too tired to fathom stocking a tank that big so the that might be a bit heavy or light on the stocking, but it would be along those lines... African River Monsters Also I'd worry about the GATF devouring everything else in the tank eventually, but people on here seem to have decent luck keeping them in large communities. Maybe swap out the GATF for a BIG Odoe pike??

What? Oh, You mean the FESTAE. I can't stand when people call festae red terrors. You can always tell people who haven't kept them or really don't know anything about them by that. Nothing personal bud, but I gotta spread the word. Festae, FESTAE, FeStAe!!!

Heh i do own one. I hate seeing the ones that get passed as red terrors that are not true festaes. I can understand your frustration. Though making the judgement that i dont know anything about them or havent kept them is a big statement. Once again, good luck.....

It was a generalization, not a judgement. It's the same thing with "true festae." It either is a festae or it isn't. If it's not a festae, it's a urophthalmus. So, why not ask is this a festae or a urophthalmus? When people regurgitate nonsense that they've heard instead of researching it on their own, it's quite obvious. Red terror is a very old term used by wholesalers that is propogated by those very same people. Don't take what I'm saying as a personal ding. I'm just commenting.

I'm sure the wildlife and fisheries would not be happy if they knew what that tiny GATF turned into.
