Would a 300 gallon 63.25" L x 69" W x 25" H Rubbermaid stock tank be enough to hold a Jardini for life. Could i house my two T.O.'s with it? I have two big ole T.O.'s in a 150 stock tank 58" L x 39" W x 25" H rite now. Or could I buy another 150 stock tank and keep a Jardini in it by itself. I like stock tanks better because they can handle more fish abuse, have oval shape so the fish swim less restricted, and tent to be more wide. Any input would be great thank you. I would rather do two of the 150 stock tanks but let me know what you think.
Jardini Tank Size

That's what i am trying to figure out. I was looking into a strong fine pattern type of netting that would cover it. I know it has to be sturdy and prevent fins from getting caught because they are hard hitting jumpers. A type of nylon weave maybe or plastic coated type. The 300 gallon 63.25" L x 69" W x 25" H would that house any other types of arowana? I am in love with silvers and was hoping because the tank is oval that a tank like this could hold one. The oval makes it easier for continuous swimming and movement of bigger fish.
I'm just curious what some people have put there arowana's in because i am not just trying to stuff a big fish in a 150 like a lot of people do. I have seen so many different setups i just wanted to hear what you all think. I wanted a oval or round tank and one that was at least 300 gallons so they have a good healthy tank.
The silver is what i really want but the jardini is also beautiful. I am seeing alot of guys with silvers in 300 on MFK website and not getting negative feedback.
Ya that's what i keeps realizing, i will just have to find the best way to cover it while still being able to see them and get them light.
sounds pretty good for life, I would use chicken wire to cover it or get a PVC plastic and wrap it over your tub then drill a screw in above water level to hold the plastic tight, I doubt the jar will get past PVC plastic and you should still be able to see in to the tub with ease my only concern would be humidity settling on the plastic, this could be fixed with some venting holes or so.
of course using chicken wire you wont have this issue but I personally would find looking at a wire to view my fish depressing.
you could also get clear colorbond (plastic type has a name but i am brain dead ) and screw it down to the lip of the lid on the tub OR add clips / latches that push the roof down like seen on some suitcases etc
OR just order some sheets of glass and lay them across the top, 6mm should be fine when small.
I think thats all my ideas lol.

If you can find a huge umbrella that is the same size as the stock tank im sure you could make that work lol it would heep the humidity in and you could raise it when you feed and look at them. Ive also been thinking about this for a while.
