My new monster tank

[magicmike87]

Just set up my 435 gallon. Dimensions 96x35x30
I initially had this tank customized for a full helmet aro which I'm awaiting arrival. As of now I have 9 blood parrots, 4 silver dollars, 1 mono. Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated

Very nice! As for suggestions.. get rid of the Blood parrots lol.
Anything else planned other than the Aro?

Eventually I would like some diamond rays, but I'm new to the hobby so just playing by ear. Why does everyone hate blood parrots? Lol

Quite a tank to start the hobby off with
Idk man, they are ugly and AFAIK some forms have trouble swimming? But whatever floats your boat is fine man.

I had a 230 gallon prior to this but dimension weren't up to par for aro in my opinion. 72x24x30

I have blood parrots because they are good tank mates for aro

Hey man it's your prerogative to fill your tank with whatever you want. I'll keep my personal opinion out of it lol

That's a really beautiful tank. I think a couple of cheap plants would add some color nicely.

if you have rays, better to get rid of the driftwood in the middle.... so they have more space to move

And your silver dollars and mono may be lunch for the rays if the ray is too big or the silver dollars and mono is too small

parrots are good they compete with the arowana for food

It looks real nice
Awesome setup
I'd suggest some plants and a flagtail
Maybe a frt if you like turtles

You should have gotten Ken's kendragon jack trevaly school!

Anyhow, too many fish could go in there.


(Whispers under breath "Me hates some blood parrot too...")
