I have my pond here now it is cycling. There will be a stingray(soon to be more) and an aro going in right now. I was looking for another fish to join them. The pond is a 150 (52*49*25) i will update but i have a retic so its a slow grower. SO i dont want somthing that will grow to fast. You can just give the name i can do all the reasurche. Plese dont respond there is a search boton because i do have alot of questions.
 
Since it is a pond you want to go with a fish I would assume would be nice to look at from above. My vote goes for Megaladoras irwini. These cats look great and would be interesting to view from above with their side scutes and color pattern.
 
Funny thing i was told that on the catfish form when i asked what would fit in there. Did look at them and they were cool. But my lfs stoped caring fw so i want to have like a whole list of fish sence the closest that i like is about 30 min away
 
I really doubt youll find an irwini at a LFS. Not impossible to do but not probable.

With just 150 gallons and the fact that you really are not going to get 150 gallons of water in there I would just do the ray and aro for best water quality.

Definitely agree.

I mean thats not THAT big of a tank. I mean you can put other fish in, but those fish will grow and aros are inclined to jump the more uncomfortable you make them, and putting more tankmates in wouldn't make him MORE comfortable.
 
what happened to the 4x8...... I would stick with that and maybe a motoro.... you don't have a lot of water to deal with so quality could be a problem....
 
how many motoros do you think can go in a 300g rubbermaid tub?

How interesting you should bring that up. Well about a week before i got all the stuff i was talkiing to my paretns about it and all the sudden (un pravoked) they started complaining it was to big and i shouldnt get one at all so i finaly talked them to a 150 (my ray needed to get a bigger tank) but they said i can upgrade when the time calls
 
sigh, parents...they just don't get it :(

well, my mom does at least :D
 
i hear you i though my mom was but she always gets the final word will work with wat i have
