Need some help on which fish to go for .

[djarmstrong]

Sorry for all my threads lately , placed all over the Forum about my pond idea but i am really just getting my ideas and thought together first before spending aload of money and making a big mistake on getting the wrong stuff/ fish .

Basicly planning on building a Trop' pond in a shed , watning to get some ideas on fish to stock it with .

( See attached pitcure for size ) .

Was thinking on getting a RTCxTSN put now not , as people keep saying that he will just end up eating my other fish that i what to put in there .

I was thinking on putting my Silver Awo' in the pond along with my Oscar and one of my Common Pleco , and then i was thinking on getting a Clown Knife .

What do you think about my current choose of fish ?

What other fish should i get to go in the pond or what should change ?

I don't mean to sound stupid you British folks have a different terminology. By shed do you mean where you keep your lawn mower or like a gazebo.

What? By shed he means a shed. And as for stocking I would throw a net over the top and put in some arowana's

Yes by shed i mean a wooden garden shed which most people keep thier lawn moorers in and the garden tools , but i'm not like that , i like to be a little diffrent sometime . I will be insulating it probily with the stuff builders use when building walls and stuff ( the fluffy stuff which goes between the layer of blockes when making walls , we have just had an extension done so we have got the left overs off the builders to do the shed out with ) . getting proper electrics and lighting and put one of those portable heaters in the shed in winter times to make sure that the water in the pond freezes over .

I am going to put a net over it as i do have a Silver Awo' that will be going in the pond , but unless i order off the internet ( which is very expensive ) it's hard to find Awo's around me , i was very lucky when i got mine it was the only one my LFS could get and they is only like a 20% change of getting anymore in i was told by them .

I would like a mixture of fish in the pond but not nothing that will end up killing/ eating the other fish , I dont mind a litlle aggression but nothing to much , like i said i was going to get a RTcxTSN but now have changed my mind as alot of people keep saying that he will just end up etig what ever is in the pond with he .

oscars, midas, gaint gourami, pbass, lima cats, 4-line pims, green terrors, tin foil barbs, rays, clown loaches, gars, pleco, etc...
Just a few ideas, some of these might not work together, but most will in that size tank. Any of these fish interest you?

All intrest me but , but putting them all togethher i'm not sure .

I had a Red Finned Gaint Gourami a couple of months back but had to let it go as my Red Devil kept on bullying it and didnt have a spare tank to spilt them up . So i might get another one for the pond , I was planning on putting my Oscar in the pond but i also anted a RTCxTSN and was told my Oscar would probily end up eaten , not getting the RTCxxTSN i dont think anymore so i moght still but my Oscar in . pbasstheres acouple up at my LFS so might get them . lima cats none up at my LFS but i do have a site that sells them so might get one if they not to expensive .

I would love some Rays but they are very expensive , i do not know where to get any from as my LFS are not willing to order any in , as i asked a few weeks back .
