thank you very much
my 165 is 72"x18"x30" and im getting a 230 gallon for my shop for them right away......cause im still waitin on my super red bluebase xb arowana
and then i get to bring the 90 home for my numbeer 7 tank
 
the fry are doing wonderfull thismorning and there are aroun 28 or more of them with theyre little egg sacks.....they are swimming freely from side to side and came to the front of the glass this morning like they already knew that when feeding time was..none got stuck in the rocks.. im going to wait another day or 2 before feeding crushed flakes..so theyre egg sacks deplete a little more and they are dependant on outside nutrition...i have a total of another 5 female seperated to be stripped of theyre fry in about 3-4 days
THIS IS MY FIRST ATTEMP AT REARING SOME FRY HOW AM I DOING AND ANY TIPS ARE WELCOME FOR FUTURE FRY!!!!!!!!!!!PLEASE!!!!
THANKS EVERYONE!
 
it looks as if you know what your doin when it come to raising fry. i would suggest a floating breeder box for the stripped fry untill they are free swimming and their egg sack is gone. the little ones layin around on bottom will be beat to hell and eaten by the ones that are a few weeks old if you get enough in there. and with all those pregnant females it doesn't seem far from now. the other thing i have done is gave the fry an extra week to grow with their mom so i dont have to put them in a breeder trap. but if you do this id suggest separating the mom from the community because it will be another week she wont be eating and she would be vulnerable to attacking tank mates after her fry. they get tired that far in. but the babies come out free swimming and no egg sack.
 
Your tanks and fish room look excellent, bro. I love your aro. How fast is your tsn x rtc growing? I really want one, but am leary of growout size and growth rate. I have another stainless steel 350 and planning to conjoin it to my 200, but do you think 24" front to back is enough turning room?
