MBU and black aro???

[knightmare1968]

I am planning a tank for when i get back to the US for good. I would like a Fahaka like i had before but can not have tank mates with him so im not sure i want to do that again (maybe have a smaller seperate tank for the Fahaka because they rock) I would like to have maybe a MBU and a black aro as the main fish with some other FILLER type fish to add movement not sure what. What size tank would i need to get ( dont say 1000 gallons that is a tired line) i mean a normal size 300, 400 ????

thanks for your help.

A 350 would work great! But if you ever move back to the US,what are you going to do?

I will not get this set up for about 18 months. Then i will be back in the states for good.

Might be good for a while, then one day, your going to some fish with chunks missing....or worse

could work some peoples MBU don't mind tankmates but still some are aggressive i wouldn't risk it black aros are pretty $$$ and due to over fishing and exporting black aros are becomeing rare i wouldn't you could try it but i would go for a silver aro little cheaper

I thought most MBU's were OK with tankmates? I know the Fahakas are not. But what size tank do you need or does anyone have other suggestions about tank mates for a MBU?

WOW, I thought i would get a ton of ideas, information and opinions from this forum.

Definaetely too risky on the aros part.

I think you got your answer.

I guess i got my answer. I was hoping for some input as to tankmates and stuff but i will work that out myself.
