My family has been living on a 300 acre ranch since 1992 and we are moving to a new house this month. Today was the day we moved the 360 Aquarium. Its an old plexi glass tank and during the move we found a small leak (at the base of the overflows). Nothing to worry totally about yet (very slow leak leaking into the sumps), still something to consider and I think sometime soon (over the next couple years) I'm going to replace the old aquarium with a new 450 gallon (8 foot by 30 inch wide by 3 feet tall) or with a one year old 750 gallon. Next weekend I should have photos of the tank and my 12-14 inch Black Arowana, 12-14 inch African Tiger Fish and my Datinoid that's the size of an Oscar.
As well I'm going to post picture of my families gorgeous ranch pond. Its huge at 15 acres and has 5 acres of 20 foot deep water. If here in Central California if the weather/water temperature stayed around 75 to 85F I would totally attempt to raise Chilli Red or Cross Back Goldens Arowanas and if not Arowanas try to raise a 12 to 15 foot (4 to 5 meter) Arapaima. The pond has got a huge school of 12 inch adult golden shiners and good population of Sacramento Blackfish (a California minnow species that adults are capable of growing to about two foot long). This is not the case and that means just raising Florida Largemouth Bass and Channels Catfish (I'm not complaining).
