My 300 gallon ticking time bomb has been stocked. We are snowed in around these parts so I figured what better time then now to let it all hang out and assemble my long anticipated ticking timebomb tank. Since the weather is crap and I'm unemployed I'll be closely monitoring the tank with net in hand in case stuff gets out of hand.
I've had to seperate runts from 2 shoals but all fish have accepted various tankmates up to this point. I have raised all but 2 of these fish from only a couple inches. All have been broken from feeders for a few months and all have always cohabbed peacefully with disimilar species.
Coincidently its the holidays and the stocklist is in similar fasion to the days of christmas. Each number of species goes up by one. Ill give you the lone ranger, 1 Silver Aro. There are different Characin species numbering 2,3,4, and 5 pieces. Of course there is 4 Marbles in there but they don't count as fish.
To make it a little more interesting you guys gotta guess the stocklist correctly then Ill post some videos.
Unfortunately I can't upload till tomorrow and I burnt up both cards with video clips (sadly they are only 30 second clips
)
So far so good. Hopefully it works out cause this is probobly the neatest, most active tank I've ever seen in person. Allready lasting longer then the previous "Dorado experiment"
Hoping this experiment will give us Characin keepers hope that we don't have to keep single species apex predator tanks. Its very fascinating seeing different Characin shoals in the same tank. Let's keep our fingers crossed that it will work...
