My 650g Growout Thread

Wow. What a dreamy tank man. All you need is a couple polys and it’s (my) dream come true. Beautiful on all aspects, stock, tank, looks. Well done sir. Can’t wait to see the build.

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.

Where did you get that spider kel

Exoticfishshop.com. He was really skinny when I got him and has a slightly malformed upper lip, but his color is really nice.

[jimmie1974]

Damn he's pricey. He's the guy listing on ebay. Im going to pass but good luck with him. He's a looker

Watching. Can’t wait to see the 650

Starting to get some nice color on some of these. All but 2 eating Hikari Carnivore sticks.



Now that I look at the photo, it doesn't really do them justice.

Now if I could just clear out the microbubbles the Eheim 2262 is producing.
