Just read through the build, awesome mate!

And lovely ray, is that the one Tom was selling? I remember thinking it had such unique spotting. Good buy

Thank you!

It is indeed . Funnily enough I got the wolf from him too a year or so ago

If you are referring to an intex swimming pool style set up there are a few factors you should think about.

Longevity. I have personally never used these to keep fish because I don't trust that it won't develop a leak eventually. I doubt they are designed to be set up for 5+ years.

Another limitation is you cannot monitor the health of your fish effectively only from above.

The pleco and tigershovelnose have barbs that will probably eventually pierce the liner.

You will need a strong lid for the arowana or a net over the top

I also think long term the shovelnose will eat the Oscars.

If you are dead set on using an intex pool, I would line it twice with a thick rubber liner or extra protection. Best of luck

im on a budget but i‘ll see if i can make something more permanent i‘ll line it so that its hopefully stab proof
anyways thanks for your help i‘ll remove the oscars from my plan

it was a sad day yesterday. The red tail payara wasn't swimming very well these last couple of days. I observed odd Jerry movements and dragging it's belly along the sand. Seemed to not be in control of its movements. My guess is that it somehow hit its head. I moved him into isolation ,but came back home and it was gone. I got this fish around 2/3 yrs ago at 6" . RIP.

I will get him taxidermied as a reminder
