TerminalAddict Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 In decmeber I sold a "huge" silver arowana .. and an ever "huge-er" knife fish to jansens. I delivered them to the North shore/Albany shop ... Well today I got a phone call from jansens, saying the fish are well, and I should come and spend my $400 that they are giving me for the 2 fish 8) so I am hoping that you guys will be able to help me. I want a new tank mate or mates for my tank at home, which at the moment has 1 silver arowana 27cms long, and one giant gourami that is 30cms long .. and redspot pleco that is 37cms Joel from Jansens North shore mentioned the existence of a Large Borneo tiger .. .that would be cool .. ... if you guys in Auckland have seen anything else that would fit my tank, and is interesting/rare/different I would love to hear your comments cheers TA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
