I know I will need bigger tank for the gar and the id sharks, i am looking into gettting hopefully a 125 gallon within the next few weeks, the columbians I heard need brackish tank when they get bigger I already have a 55 gallon for them when they get bigger, this tank is basically my first predator tank, and my first try at aquascaping. I want your ideas for when I setup my 55 for the columbians, and the 125 for the gar fish on how you think the natural look of this tank is, so I can start to setup and cycle the 55 and so on. thank you for your ideas and quick reply, there is a lot of information on this website to help me out. But I also like constructive criticism for the members so i do everything right in the next tanks. i will be posting pictures within the next day or so of the gar fish. Thanks again for all your information you have given me.
I am posting pictures of my two tanks. One is a 40 gallon tall tank which is setup as a community tank with:3 platys, 2 goramis, 4 neon tetras, 1 chenese algea eater, 2 swordtails. The other tank is my 50 gallon diamond shaped tank. It is a somewhat of a predator tank and my first try at aquascaping with a natural river or lake theme it has:2 Pictus catfish, 2 i.d. sharks, and 2 needlenose gars which I just added so the pictures do not include them. Checkout the pictures and tell me what you think of my 50 gallon aquascape. Send me your ideas on how I may change it for the better, thanks.
