  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Great setup man.
 
What a great looking tank and fish.

They all appear very healthy and look to be doing quite well.

Nice job.
 
I must say that you have a great mix there!!!! But what size is your tank? and what worries me most is what kind of filtration do you have? water changes? the reason I ask is because most of them are gasping which is not right..... I have most of the same plus more and my fish never gasp any more once I added my sumps with high oxygen content or are they always fighting??
Don't mean to be disrespectful but is the gasping all the time or just sometimes? Very Nice!!!!!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. the filtration is based on Rena + handmade all around 7000L per hour, Once a month water changes ~ one third. relatively high oxygen level in the water the fish rarely fight. again thanks for your feedback

also don't think that bubblers add allot of oxygen to a tank....

Fully agree

How many gal? You said 750L which is only 200 gal. That can't be right is it? .

Why?

Well even if it was a 200gal, that is not going to hold these heavy weights for long without massive water changes and filtration......I've done it , so I know for a fact , not just an opinion.....

It works. in general I grow fish for more than 40 years. I fully agree that massive filtration and water exchange are highly recommended and real care ... to make sure everything under control and nobody suffering
