in a house
Well for starters leme list my tanks
120 galloon : natives
3x bluegill
1x largemouth bass
1x normal pleco
2x armored cats

10 gallon : feeders

2x 20 gallons : empty

1x 55+ gallon : empty

for starters my dad came home smashed today ( im 16 ) hes talking about sence i life fish so much he got me a present i go into my backyard to see this HUGE and when i say huge i mean almost above ground pool size circle in my backyard.. I'm like what the hell is this i walk up with him and he says now u can get any size fish u want and when i hear this im like :nilly: :eek3: :eek: HOLY HELL... i can swim in this bad boy with my fish its 4 feet deep like 10ft long 10ft wide and hes like we can fill it up and get all the filteration tomorrow and when your fish outgrow your tanks we can put them in here..

so tomorrow im going to get the following fish

Silver arowanas (how many do u guys think i should get?)
maybe some large cats

People give me some suggestions im freaking bouncing off the damn walls here!

the tank is around that size maybe more.. and should i call it a pond or a tank or what lol?!
 
thats mint...
 
isent it! im so happy right now.. im typing up a contract to make sure he wont forget what the hell he did last night and hes gona sighn it :)

what fish should i get for this beast? all i know is i've always wanted an arow but never could cuz the space :) i was thinking i could go catch some freshwater stingrays in this giant lake near where i live put some of those in also
 
i would go with 1000 pbass
 
:eek: dont even say something like that ill actully do it :)!
that would be so much fish food gone in 1 day LOL
 
im not sure if rays are legal in fl, but if they are...:nilly: those and some aros and pbass would be nice, and it woud be enough space for them to breed. just be conscious of temperature. it is above ground so it will get much colder than an in ground pool. you'd have to put a net around the edge to so aros and others cant jump out

black aros are nicer IMO and stay a bit smaller than silvers

maybe you can throw a bunch of cichlid pairs in the tank and pull out babies to sell,
like altifrons, green terrors, salvini, festae, nics
 
blacks are illegal in florida so i've heard and so are rays but if u catch them from a lake in your area it is the law to kill the fish or take it out and keep it :)!!!

i know an arow for sure But more suggestions would be nice im gona be gone for the rest of the night so please post wha tu think i should put in it...
 
what is the coldest it will get there?
