new tank help

[monsteraqua]

Hello,

I have 3 new tanks,
4x1.5x1.5ft (around 75 US gallons)

4x2x2 (on a two tier stand)
So two 4x2x2ft tanks (around 120 US gallons).

For the first tank (4x1.5x1.5)
I was thinking of putting a motoro stingray (just until it grows out into the pond), 5-10 dwarf gouramis and a couple angel fish (Decent size), what do you think?
The tank is having a rainforest style to it.

4x2x2ft (top tank)
(EITHER!) 2x Albino Arowana or 1x 24k gold crossback/Super Red Arowana
2x Hybrid Black Diamond stingrays
1x Kelberi Peacock Bass
1x Some sort of catfish (shovelnose, rtc maybe, tigrunis maybe!)
1x Pignose turtle (maybe..)
What do you think?

4x2x2ft (bottom)
Just putting albino turtles in it, nothing else really.

Note: The Cover is T5.0 UVB Arowana/basking sun bulbs.
Great for arowanas and rays just tell me your views on the livestock before I make a decision and take a trip down to the fish farm.

The first aquarium will be ok for a little time for the motoro. The 2nd aquarium will be short term for the all the species you mentioned.

Agree with Tom, for the small species you mention they are fine, but for fish like rays, any arowana, or P-bass, they are only very short term grow out tanks, for young juvies.

 

[monsteraqua]

Yes, of course all grow out tanks. 4ft is okay for some of them for awhile.

The Arowana will probably be the fastest growing especially a Silver Arowana. Tbh can't put an accurate time on how long before they outgrow the aquarium.

you already have a monster pond? The 4x2x2 won't last very logn for a growout for species like that. My advice would be not to get the fish unless you have the permanent home already up and running, because you may have issues with them and have to move them out sooner than expected.
