My 650g Growout Thread

[Bassjedi]

Hi all. I'm building a 650g aquarium (120"x42"x30") to house my peacocks and others that are currently growing out in my 125g. Here is the group as it currently stands:

5 Mono peacock bass 4.5"
1 Azul 7"
1 Kelberi 6"
1 Vulture Catfish 8"
1 Tigrinus Catfish 7"
1 Ruby Oscar 6"
3 Geophagus Sveni 4.5"
1 Black Arowana 6"

The Azul and Kelberi are eating pellets, while the Monos are eating cut up nightcrawlers stuffed with pellets. The Tigrinus eats earthworms and the occasional pellet. The arowana eats most pellets. The Oscar, Geos, and Vulture catfish eat anything. So far so good on compatibility but the Azul kind of dominates the tank a bit. I might move him into the big tank first when it is ready and then power feed the others to get them the same size before combining.

Hmmm, I have a lot more pics but they are not uploading for some reason. Will try later.

Thanks. Sadly he is hiding in the corner a lot of time because of the Azul. I'm thinking about some dithers for the big tank, although perhaps just growing everyone to the same size as the Azul will make him less aggressive.

Sadly I’m not sure exactly what type it is. There is an aquarium store here in Houston near where I live that has an enormous selection of wood in their back warehouse and I just picked something I liked.
