im gonna go with 8x5x4 plywood build. its gonna be braced by 2x4s and epoxyed on the inside to water proof and it will have a front viewing window 3/4" thick

I got me another RTC today!!!!
It looks like it has a touch of Gill Curl, but not horrible. Plenty of WC's will fix it I'm sure. I'm so happy! His name is Milton!

This sounds badass

I will try to get some pics of Milton up. I never intentionally killed my other 3 rtcs it was just a series of bad luck. My first two suffocated because my dogs unplugged the powerstrip of the tank. The third got eaten by my innocent looking beast of a pacu. This time he is in a tank of his own with no way of losing power and will be grown up there until I have his pool completed.

Well i think im goin to start my pond build the first weekend of June. Goin to Indiana tomorrow for the 500. So its on hold for another week. Picked up a nice Koi yesterday, 1 foot long for 24 bucks. Gonna get some more when i get back. So the stock for the pond is gonna be.

2- RTCs
1- Hybrid
1- TSN
5- Bullheads
2- Redbellied Pacu
10+- Koi

Is a 15'x10'x4' (maybe 5') gonna be big enough? I figure 100 gallons each (besides the bullhead 200 for all five) and the ponds gonna be at least 3500 gall. That should be alright.
