SamH Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Hey guys. What options do we have in NZ for small-med predatory fish? The largest tank I have room for is a 120x40x40 but prefer something around 100x30-40(D)x30(H), not looking to upgrade in the future either. All I can think of is a Pantadon Butterfly. I just want a fish I can feed stuff to really :lol: Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melrick1 Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 pictus catfish are very much predatory fish, and look realy cool too. The spiny eels will activly hunt. Everything else starts getting much bigger lol... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshlikesfish Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 I was told my 120x40x40 was too small for a nandus nandus :roll: They are awesome fish. Get one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted April 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Might just have to sell everything for an 8ft tank :nilly: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophia Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 I forgot about those, they are even bigger. Don't know if there are any in NZ anymore though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruju Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 BGK? would outgrow the tank maybe. Super ultra stunted aro :roll:? Nandus is your best bet probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted April 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Super ultra stunted aro :roll:? If I were to get an aro I'd do it right, big tank by it's self from the start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henward Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 agree ay, puffers are killers! they have awsome beaks. I have an arrowhead puffer once - man, it chomped gold fish! folded them in half! it would eat shrimp like it wasnt even there, it had the best eating style out of any fish i have ever had!!!! I wish we could get MBU puffers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
