Nah I just like my fish big right away.

Ted got this arapaima from Brian at Ocean Blue at about 5" I think. I told Ted to grow it to 12" so it could live with my fish in my 250G then I told him I'd grow it until it will live in the 8000G.

you show alot of knowledge in what you are doing... good job on your filtration. I believe that it is not over stocking, in fact I would like to see you add some more..... thanks for sharing sir
