Hi guys,
Im thinking about getting a new pond and i want to know what fish i shud add and what to do. I currently have 2 Red Bellied Pacu, 1 Severum, 1 Blood Parrot, 1 polypterus senegalus, and an oscar i am about to sell. Those are all in a 75 gallon tank. In my 30 gallon tank, i have 1 pictus, another severum, and another blood parrot. I am thinking that about getting a pond. The size range would probably be a 300 minimum, and a 1000 maximum. Since i am selling my oscar i think i want the tank to be more of a 'peaceful giants' tank then an 'agressive cichlids' tank. I want to add some fish that i will eventually sell when they are fully grown... any ideas? I was thinking maybe an arowana, but i know they cud jump out of the pond. I live in NY, so i would have to get some heaters to keep it warm in the winter. Any ideas on what fish to get? What should i do with the 75 gallon tank? Also what usefull equipment should i use (net, filters...)?
 
And those fish would look boring when you look on them above.

If you want to do it, you can look at the pond filter section of you lokal "garden store".
 
I think Pim Ornate look awesome from the top. Stingrays obviously,.... and big cichlids looking at you are always cool just don't put your head to close to the tank.
 
heating this thing will be the limiting factor
NY winters and 80 degree fish dont mix without $$$$$$
 
haha, yeah i know thats gonna b a toughy...any suggestions for heating??? Also could a RB Pacu/Stingray(s) combo be done if the pond is large enough?? Say 500-1000 gal?
