New 3500 gallon tank- trying to decide what fish...

[West1]

I haven't made it out to get batteries yet but I was able to get one pic on my camera before they died completely (date is wrong as it is the default on my digicam due to dead batteries).

Okay... skip my last post
With that, I would deff load up on RAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lots of Rays and some Aros

I will get some more pics in an hour or two when I come back from lunch. Also going to put some H2O in there today and turn on the pump. Filter media still needs to be figured out but getting the pipes flushed and checking for leaks will come first.
I will probably completely drain and refill tomorrow once I confirm everything is working.

I would see what the water temp is gonna be. If you can't maintain a temp of 78 degrees naturally will your boss be willing to pay to heat the 3500 gallons of water? If not the koi may be your only choice.

i think koi would be the perfect choice.... huge colorful monsters...

Koi or goldfish are the right choice.

An arowana WILL jump out. And rays will be too much work.

Other fish won't be attractive / will be invisible from above.

A nice selection of koi could be stunning in that pond.

I think arowanas are the way to go...prob. not rays imo just because you couldnt see them from above also some albino oscars or peacock bass....just keep in mind that if you pick dark fish you wont be able to see them from above...

 

[voss345]

arowanas would jump out most other fish would jump pbass included
imagine heating the thing

koi will look awesome in that pond
i might of contemplated doing a huge african rift lake setup, but heating that is expensivee
also you could get some of those chinese high fin sharks those look pretty cool

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.

I would have rtc tsn and arowanas. I doubt they would jump out in a pond that size.
