hi ppl my name is tommy im new to this sight i need some help with my new 12 foot tank i brought it for $350.00 australian but here is my question. ive got a budget of $3000 australian dollers to buy fish about 4_6 fish but thay have to be big and very nice in colour and where to buy them in sydney australia?

regards tommy
 
12 ft tank?!? 4-6 fish?!? That sounds freakin aweome!!! Great deal too. I can't think of any fish big enough for that tank if you only want that few. Arowanas come to mind. P-bass maybe. How wide is it? Post pics soon!!!
 
go with aros and p bass maybe some rays??????


or if u want something cheap do a school of oscar all colors like 2 red 2 tiger 2 albinos

Are you serious? Aro's cost that much!! Any Aro I see around here is around $100 for a good 6" fish but of course these are Silver Aro's. What is the conversion for AU to US $$.
 
wow thats a lot of money for the arowana - i just checked to see how much it would cost in canada (where i live) and i found this

After being illegal to import to Canada for many years, Asian arowana, first became legally available in the late 1990's. Initially prices were stratospheric, with Asian Green arowana, the lowest colour grade, selling for over $2,500 US. Gradually retail prices in Canada came down to the level in 2006 where a Green sells for about $250 US, a Red Tail Gold (RTG) for about $750 US, a Super Red for about $1800 US, and Cross Back (Xback) for $3,500 US. The occasional Very Fine Super Red (Chilli, Blood, or Purple Fusion) will sell for as much as $5,000-7,000 US.

not to sure australian $100 is about $135 us. because where got the native seratoga only some ppl can have thee arowana if thay got it before the new law it suxxxxxxxx.

Patience is a huge part of fish keeping. If you are in it for the long term, don't rush your decision. With big fish, you are making a LONG TERM decision to own them. Take your time... linger in your local fish store. Check stuff online. Read as many threads as you can to try to get a feel of what you want, what would work together, and what would live comfortably in your tank. Rome wasn't built in a day. Plus, you might get your tank in 10 days, but you still have to set it up, cycle it, decorate it & etc. Remember that your fish selection will dictate what filter(s) you will need, so make your decisions carefully.
