Got a 7 footer of ebay for the sum of £80!

Got a old school fluval 303 and fluval 405 filtering it!

Its got few bits of bog wood, few plastic plants but im really happy with it looks amazing in the flesh :)

That's a bad@ss looking tank man,even the stand and hood look real nice!Why don't you give us a list of what fish you have in there and what you plan on getting.Also,I like how open it looks!
 
Right here goes then!
So theres 4 severums, 2 tiger oscars, Pleco, Arowana, jaguar cichlid, midas cichlid, and 2 convict cichlids!

The convicts laid eggs within a week of being put in there! But they got eaten by the pleco!

The arowana i will just grow it up until its just too big for the tank then sell him on!

In the end i wanna be left with the midas, 2 oscars and jaguar!

Should look really good once its all matured nicely as its only been setup for a month or so!

The jag is already showing signs of being terrortial, he claimed the big flower pot on the right as soon as he got in there!

The oscars are eating loads, as they do!

Midas cichlid is quite shy, normally hides in the resin tree in the middle of the tank!

And the arowana, well it just swims up and down the tank, until he goes near the big flower pot and the jag trys to warn him off, but doesnt really happen!

Also got some plastic plants out of a terrarium which are hanging up each end of the tank, covering up the filter inlets/outlets and heaters!

Cheers Joe :)
 
thats a bloody good deal, i think you got space for a couple of birchirs in there too :y220d:
 
I did have 2 birchirs in my 4 footer, they were pretty cool, then i could only find one in there! So had a look around the tank and couldnt find it? So just assumed it got eaten or whatever!

Then when i cleaned my filter out, i found it in the cabinet all dried out! Nice! lol

Great escape artists!

Im looking for a catfish for it, i wouldnt mind getting a RTC, but they just get way to big!

Any ideas on what i could get?

Joe
 
i'm feelin' the stand and canopy big time.

WE SHOULD GET SOME BIG CA's IN THERE!
