-clown knifefish
-red bellied pacu
-tiger oscar

**-leopoldi stingray
**-spotted gar

*if i can feed this fish i will buy it
**i wil get it if someone sells me these fish since i live in CA
anyone that would sell me the stingray and gar? please pm me.
i live in the northern CA area.(bay area, san jose)
i'm asking people in Japan to sell me these fish right now but i think they will be in the airplane for too long(10hours) so...

how big should the "??gallon GIANT carnivorous tank" be?
can you tell me the dimensions(LWH) and gallons.

any suggestions on these tanks?
i did tons of research and i subtracted and added some fish and i think they both will work though...

Yes the 125 gallon would probably work if you feed them well enough so that they wont look to each other for food. You should however start off with a 300-500 gallon for the second tank and then upgrade to a pond once the fish begin to reach adult size. Especially the pacu and catfishes if you intend to comm them together still.

yeah; i'm gonna get dA tank2 after i get experienced with carnivorous tropical fish!
i'm gettin dA 125gallon in a couple months.

but when i do get the carnivore tank #2 it's going to be at least 1500gallons.

You may want to be concerned about the oscar and/or pacu getting 'nippy' on the arowana. I have seen a pair of 3" motaguense cichlids cause a 24" silver arowana to jump out of a 500g tank, lifting glass tops and everything ..!

 

[kentobizmol]

i guess i will have to minus dA leopoldi stingray, spotted gar, and payara.
a 12' 6' 4'
for only a couple fish...
thats a little empty don't ya thnk?

-silver arowana
-tiger shovelnose catfish

-iriscedent shark
-clown knifefish
-red bellied pacu
-tiger oscar

You know that that Clown Knife is gonna own A LOTTA FISH! LoL Tiger Oscar will probably be the first to go. The lima shovel nose is a slow grower.....so it might not be a good idear. About that big tank, good luck, a lotta peeps get ambitious and talk about gettin a large tank, but seldom do they make it a reality. Hope you do though!

 

[kentobizmol]

i hope soLOL HAHA
so should i put the fish in like a special order?
like put this fish in after this fish is ?" long.
or put that fish before this fish...etc.

 

[kentobizmol]

i'm thnkn dA slow growers and smaller fish in first, and then, gradually put in the big fish(babies)

 

[guppy]

I don't think putting them in in any order will help, once they get big expect to lose the oscar, you might get lucky with the shovelnose as many fish won't eat them.

 

[kentobizmol]

so take out the oscar and put it where??
it won't fit in dA 125gallon tank#2 will it? with all the other fish...

so the tiger oscar will be gone. but how long can i keep him before he disappears?
and the lima can get lucky right?? how slow do they grow?
