Ive been in the hobby most of my life; have kind of drifted away for a few years with only keeping a few lightly stocked aquariums and not doing a lot with them. Getting ready to get back into the hobby on a more serious level...have ordered a 180G acrylic tank and cabinet which will be arriving sometime within the next few weeks. For this tank I'm looking to get back into keeping the fish I truly enjoy. Looking to add a black aro, lima shovelnose or vulcher cat, along with an oscar(have currently), 5 spotted silver dollars(have currently), sun catfish(currently have) and a red spot severum. I have ordered 3 SunSun 304Bs to get started may add a 4th down the road. I know the arowana will likely outgrow the 180G in a few years; not really an issue as I plan to move in the next few years so a larger(wider) aquarium is definitely a possibility...but for quite some time I suspect the 180G will be just fine
This tank will replace a few smaller systems which are going. In addition to the 180G I also have a 75G planted fancy goldfish tank and a 55G with a female midas. Have 2 75G tanks, 47 column, 50G acrylic, and 20G acrylic in storage...so who knows where this could go.
If anyone has any leads on getting a black aro...do let me know
