Nah, I would be scared if I had a full grown jag cichlid, they have mad fangs. The aros Im not really worried about, although my jar will hit anything that touches the surface, I tried putting in a gba to clean up the tank and it smashed it as soon as it broke the surface.

Well, I have a little experience with aros and if I go near them again I will ensure they have a 1200L minimum, otherwise I feel like a douche keeping them in a tank too small (6ft).

Funny, my big fish dont do that sort of thing at all.

What gravel is that? I love it!

And this is a bad thing?? He is now able to get a large tank 8)

Move north, its nicer

Moving LA?

yeah, those are the guys! They wiggle their eyebrows rather amusingly.

hi

Lol, I thought price wasn't an issue :roll:

haven't been in ages, should go again - I love the monkeys, make sure you watch their eyebrows! So funny!

yeah, I saw that auction, pretty sure the guy is under the impression it is totally happy in there I think he must have bought the aro near that size rather than grow it up in that thing.

I like the geos the most in there.

Go minimum 1200L (henwards tank size), fit a sump with 1-3 chambers with variety of filter media and put on an fx5 for best results - this should be enough. I run an fx5 and a 5ft sump on my 180g tank and it does a good job. + having 1 aro would be pretty boring, get large schooling fish (loaches look good - refer to loach master aka Henward for tips; however sharks/tinfoils/chalceus etc also look nice), once the aro gets big enough, add in some cichlids maybe? Indo tigers look good with aros too. Another sweet combo you could try is a heavily planted tank (Plants are good especially if it spooks, as it will cushion it), and once the arowana passes 40cm (as well as keeping him well fed) you could try a LARGE school of cardinals (or whatever you prefer) as a small schooling fish). I have seen this effect and it is badass! The aro is not bothered with the small fish when it can just get a good feed from you - note: Aro must be of DECENT size for this to work, 20cm aro=bye bye little fish. But a key point (in agreement with DavidR) is a wide tank, especially with silvers and blacks, room to turn is a must, the arowana looks much more comfortable and exploits better behaviour + it means a larger tank Get bichirs as tankmates; they are awesome. :roll:

Lol Henward yours is over a foot bro, probably almost 40cm I think. OP: You probably can't keep 2 aros together without some damage, it has been done but better results with 3 or more.

8x2x3 minimum IMO, kept both silver and jardini, you need them to have a large tank. Especially for the blacks and silvers since they are longer.

I have always wanted to try and catch a fly and tie some string around its body like a leash, the thought of it is kind of amusing though... a pet fly. :roll:

looks more NZ native than brakish now IMO.

Hey Snookie!!!.....................I want. !drool:

Oh, I thought you had 2 different setups going there, nice tank for them! Do you see them much or do they just hide? What other setups do you have?

Nice thats a crocodile monitor LA, they look badass 8) some guys on mfk keep them about 8ft long !drool:

about $60 snookie.

Any pictures of your catfish tank P44?

Lol, are you addicted to weed(s) :lol:

Best trip was geography for me, went to tauranga and climbed the mount, explored the harbour, had a trip on a dual hull sailboat and had fish and chips. Drove into the hills to a lodge where we teased the arabs with pet pigs (lol good times), then went to the hauraki plains and on to rotorua where we did the whole geothermal thing, after that we topped it off with the agrodome and went on the rides. Stayed overnight before heading back to aucks. Oh and I dont believe we learnt anything :lol:
