henward Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 I just got myself an 8 footer! from trademe. $161 lol 8 foot! he said it comes with a stand but wood, ill see if its a good one, if its not ill et a steel on made. he said there are no leaks at all and can be filled up no problems so 161 is a good bargain i think lol but no room for it so will hvae to sit somewhere untill i find room:D thinking now what i will put in there! dunno what yet. but mostlikely a few silver aros eventually, with silver the silver dollars, metynis and maybe pacus - oscars perhaps.

OscarBoy Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 I say go for some oscars and silver dollars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henward Posted December 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 well, its long enough to to have silver aros. they only turn when they get to the end, if it takes ages to reach the end - then theres no problem:D but i was thinking of putting silverdollars, getting more spotted metynnis, appolo sharks, cos they are awesome, i never had one, and they are so cool! i reckon i can train them to eat meat and maybe oscars - just big fsh, that when you put pellets and food, there would be a massive frenzy of craziness. when you get big long silver aros, i used to have one that was 2 foot, it didnt need much more than a foot, probably less t actually turn, their bodies are like snakes. with jar and formosus species - their body does not bend easily, i think they actually needmore turning space. well, ill see, its awhile before i put it to use. i jsut thought itwas a bargain. but im liking the idea of lots of silver dollars, clownloaches, oscars, apolo and silver sharks. maybe a 2 or 3 silver aros:D see how they go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henward Posted December 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 how heavy is a tank like that? how many people would it take to carry it and move it around ? im excited, although i cant use it im excited to actually be able to use it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OscarBoy Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 6 proboley it will be heavy The sharks look awsome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplecatfish Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 If your tank's not wide enough just add more powerheads at one end so that the fish always thinks it's swimming upstream. Then you could have something like salmon. :lol: Does anyone remember B.S. Johnson's pond from the Terry Pratchett books? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 Didn't he build a fish pond 150ft long and an inch wide with one trout in it? 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
