possible 375gal owner?!?! :D

[College fishman]

ok so i play paintball and im getting out of the sport. And this kid asked me if i would possibly want to trade my gear for some fish stuff.

of course i said yes and asked what he had. his response "a 375gal, some filters, and other goodies"
i couldnt stop smiling! now all i have to do is get my dad to let him put it in his basement lol

what kind of filtration would yall suggest for this bad boy, fish for it, and im thinking i kinda wana leave it bare bottom(like with sand, no rocks or wood) for now.

and fish im thinking RTCxTSN , some arowana, and something else! HELP! lol

if its an 8'x3' 375 that still isn't big enough for an RTCxTSN I don't think (somebody correct me if i'm wrong)

personally I'd consider species like pbass, aros, datnoids, larger bichir species, etc

 

[Carefree_Dude]

i wish RTC's were a more manageable size. If they ever created a man made one that maxed out at 2ft, that would be awesome.

 

[College fishman]

gahhh i really really really want an rtsxtsn! they are the coolest looking fish.

and i agree on the max out at 2 ft, that would be IDEAL! lol

i was thinking arowana also. maybee like 2 with some clown loaches and i would love pbass but ive heard they are hard to keep

dude get a zebra shovelnose... or a lima... also you could drop in a larger species of pike... and some larger cichlids will look way cooler in a big tank than a huge fish(arro) in bare minimum... check out jaguar cichids, those guys are awesome!!

btw you need a like a 3000 gal pond or custom tank bare minimum for one of those catfish maybe even bigger... lol they are monsters!!

some sites say 750L minimum...lol that is BULL!! need a way bigger tank... for your scenario imagine beeing 4 ft tall and stuck in a 8x3 foot cell... that sucks!! so you need something massive...

hmm yea i understand the whole thing with the rtc, it sucks though i love that fish lol

but i really really want a school of loaches and some aro's. idk ive got a little bit till i have to make the decision on what i need/want lol

 

[NCStateFisher]

boooo loaches

 

[College fishman]

i like loaches! no guff from an NCStater in this thread lol

Get a ray

Nice find, and sorry but the other person is a SUCKA!!

OR - 350 glowfish and some nice UV LED lights

Tank dimensions really needed to make some good suggestions.. a large school of clowns would def work no matter what the footprint.. but most rays would not be happy in that tank for life.. and imo your pushing the min tank size for a silver arrow.
