Silver Arawana Question?

[dave'stank]

Just set up a 210 gallon arawana/peacock bass tank. My current arawana has outgrown the 65 gallon set up. How long should I wait to put just the arawana in the 210? It is set-up with a 300 gallon wet-dry. The tank has been up and running for 1 week now. Thanks for any advise.

Is the filter new and completely uncycled if it is its going to need about 6 weeks so another five but if it is partialy cycled on another tank first then you will be ok to add the arowana in about another week.

Filter is completely uncycled;however time is of the essence as I have WWIII going on in the 65gal. TOO many fish too little room LOL.

buy the cycle thing that creates bacteria. Once you put it in, you can put fish in the next day!

Do you know the product name? Does anyone have any experience with it? Thanks a bunch

i've used bacterlife a few times on new tanks and put fish in straight away and had no problems, just keep an eye on things and do a few more water changes than usual.

get a good water test kit, use the bacteria starter stuff, put the fish right in, test the water daily, if you start to have high amonia levels, do a large water change, you have to have some ammonia to give the bacteria something to eat, but if it shoots up do a water change to bring it back to an acceptable level.

A 75 gallon wet dry.
