This is highly unlikely to happen but was thinking of getting a small inflatable pool to house a few monster fish. Is that suitable??? I was thinking of putting it in the basement. The basement is quite small but is a 5 feet by 2.5 to 3 feet pool going to house a black arowana and a hydro vitteus (tiger fish) and a couple of other maybe? Is the pool big enough and would they be good tankmates? can they be in there for life? where can you buy a pool like that?? I live in canada? Walmart?? Can I just hookup a canister filter for the pool?

please answer. thanks
 
Lol, will not work...eventually it will get a hole in it and deflate and you'll have a flooded basement. The tiger fish could even bite it and have the water go everywhere. That and the arowana could easily jump out.

So..ya... sounds like a recipe for disaster haha

Theres reasons why people dont have inflatable pools with monster fish
 
HMMMM is there any large plastic container ponds where you can keep fish in? How can the inflatable pool suddenly get a hole in it?

Click to expand...

Did you ever have an inflatable pool when you were younger that happened to get a hole in it somehow and you don't know how? Do you have any pets like cats or dogs? Any kids in the household? If you answered yes to any of these, then thats how it could suddenly get a hole in it... & thats to name only a few!

Inflatable pools are horrible...most inflatable pools don't last long term, only short term.

But if you don't think it can get a hole in it out of the blue, then go ahead and do it
 
If you want to make a cheap indoor pond, get some 2x4s and make a frame, then put pond liner on the inside. If you want to house monsters you are going to have to drape a net over it. I'm planning on building one for Koi
