Hi guys, Ive currently got 3 Bala sharks, 3 Hujeta freshwater barracuda, 1 Silver Arowana, 1 Fire eel and a huge Pleco. They are all very young and no more than 6 inches other than the Pleco thats about a foot. I have a 70x24x15 100gal tank and I know this is too small in the long term. Next year in March I'm going to move house so I have room for a larger aquarium. Should I get a 320gal so I can use an Eheim pro 3 thermo or should I just sell the filter, get a 500gal and get a sump???? In other words what size tank should I get and where is the cheapest place in the UK for custom builds of that size. Oh final question, when I do upgrade would I have room for any other monsters suggestions???

thanks
 
you've got quite a few monsters there... i'd sell the filter and get the 500.
 
Yeah I have got some monsters might just get a lungfish and a black ghost knifefish to finish off my tank after ive upgraded. I love my leopard print pleco its about a foot long, stunning. It doesn't seem to be eating yet ive got waffers and bloodworm will try cucumber. I've only had it 2 days though so that could be why
 
Very true I tend to get carried away and keep having to upgrade, I'll end up owning seaworld at this rate. P.s. Cheapest place in the uk for custom builds?????

yes, definitely get a black ghost knife fish - they are nice fish.
 
I will. A website i found last night was selling all sorts at a price of 0.00 with only shipping costs. I ordered one and now i think about it should have got a couple more balas too. Surely they have to stick by what they said if they sold it at 0.00 fair trading and all.???? tropicalfishdelivered.co.uk if anyones wondering.
 
just ordered 2 more balas and a knifefish (juvenile) as i want them to keep up with he arowana and fear that introducing babies in a year or so could end up fatal for them. Ill put pics up once ive upgraded and im happy with it
