Ok, so I'm trying to find a new forum.
One that's made up of people with personality, who have real lives and aren't so consumed by their guppies, plattys and bettas that nothing else matters but aquaria.

I don't think of my fish as "Monster fish" but the last forum I tried, they were horrified that I wanted to raise guppies to feed my polypterus' and clown knife.

I'm hoping this one isnt like that.

Anyway......

Heres my set up.
(I would post this in my profile, but have to be full member first.)

Tell me if my tank/fish etc will fit in here.

150 gal tall, "show tank".
Freshwater. Started up on 7-14-11.
Undergravel filter. 2 plates 2' x 2' with 4 marineland powerheads. 3 are 600s and one is a 1200.
Over the side filter (55g)

Lighting:
48" dual bulb with blue LED nightlights. One ?aktenic? Bulb, one white.

PH7.0
80* F


Fish are as follows:
1 sturgeon 5"
1 teacup stingray 3.5" disk
1 polypterus senegalus 5.5"
1 polypterus endilicheri. 5"
2 leopard ctenapoma 3"
2 silver dollars 3.5"
2 tank bred angelfish 3.5 & 4"
1 clown knife 6"
2 rainbow sharks 3"
1 pictus cat 3.5"
1 Jaguar hybrid syntadonis 4.4"
2 giant danios (until I can catch em)
1 electric yellow lab 2"
3 other 2" ciclids, can't remember names.
 
First of all almost nobody will scorn you for feeding guppies to you fish. Second am shure I spied some monsters to be in your collection. Third welcome to the forum.

Also when it says monsters it means large and or meat eating fish.
 
Welcome to MFK.....Raising fish to feed your predators will make sense to everyone on this forum.....Just be prepared for those who will be critical of your overall stock. What dimensions is your 150??
 
It is 4ft long 2 ft deep and 29" tall

I am planning an in the wall build with tank dimensions to be 9ft by 4ft and 3ft tall within the next 1 to 2 years.
My local LFS can take any fish that outgrow if I cant get that tank done soon enough.
It will of course involve a renovation of our master bedroom and a concrete slab poured.
 
welcome to mfk.. nice to meet you.. and hope you enjoy this great site.. if you have a question just ask.
