New 3500 gallon tank- trying to decide what fish...
- Thread starter destro
- Start date
i know this is mainly a tropical fish website, but what about some coldwater fish... such as some monster freshwater sturgeon or something. i know very little about these fish but they would be amazing to sit and stare at...

If someone is not cooperating within the company just throw them in
Anyways, I would do something with Dats, Aros if the won't jump, and rays, maybe get some monster clown loaches, and some feifeng for algae control if they don't suck on the rays.
My boss said he wants piranhas so we can throw in unruly customers. Then we decided the right way to go would be sharks with freakin laser beams on thier heads.
I took a bunch more pics while filling it up with H2O tonight but then I forgot my camera on my desk at work. I was @ work until 6:30 working on the tank so I didn't want to stick around to upload pics. It took about an hour to track down a hose (our facility has 16 buildings on 53 acres, I knew there was a hose someplace!). I thought the hose they use to water the plants would be around, but turns out the plant people bring it in with them 2X a week when they come in to garden...
Need to add a garden hose to my list of stuff to get!
I got the H2O about 1/2 full but it was getting late so I am going to add some more tomorrow then turn on the pumps. I learned how the valves work and how to shutoff water to the filter for cleaning too!
There is an inline heater (electric), but it hasn't been used since we bought the building. I will be trying it out and if it doesn't work then I guess I'm going Koi. I really like rays and aros, but the jumping of the aros really has me worried.
What temps can Koi cope with? What else can you put in a Koi pond?

without a doubt.. that would look amazing. and maybe throw in some colorful mid level fish.
arowanas, gars, rays, kois.. but if you want to sum them all up into one monster fish, get a school of aripama..
but if you want the mother of monsters, get a whale shark..

Setting up a tank on the clock???? How did you manage to keep track of time and clock off at scheduled time
. I would prob still be there till its done and running (plus I would find some good reason to stay later for some O.T)Hobby + on the clock= "you need to go home Sir", From the Staff
I was scanning e-bay for 12" Koi...
nothing special just a standard mix,
about $350.00 for 6 of them shipped...
Based on the pond stocking of 1-12" koi per 250 gallons you'd be almost at 1/2 full of fish...
Anything smaller than 12" koi would be invisible for the first year or so...
