crappy full tank shot, i'll take better ones when the water clears and post more pics of the other smaller males late, all look great and are doing great, no aggression so far

Progress is coming along nice man, you might as well make this your build/progress thread lol.
Keep us updated! I love the scpaing of the tank :popcorn:
 
Ok the peace didn't last long lol chancho is completely dominating the tank chasing most of the fish around even the big argentea so I put him in time out in the Rubbermaid stock tank.

Questions:

What is the probability an extended timeout will work for this big guy? And how long do I keep him there? Rehomimg is out of the question as he is my daughter's favorite fish, she named him Emo cause he's so moody.

Second question, if a time out doesn't work, what is a decent tank size for this guy for life as a wet pet? Would the 150 gallon stock tank be ok? What about a 90? Seems small for him.
