This fish was in a 125, now in my 220 he is freakin huge, OVER TWO FEET LONG AND HAPPY!, BTW THE PEACOCK BASS is 10 inches and the silver dolers are 6 inches... oh my poor Paroon shark, my Sextifaiciatus grow! or get eaten.
Btw i have 3 tanks , 26 bow maxed out lps reef soon to be in the 120 corner, wait lion fish ,tusk and beata need a home? ... maybee switch the 220 fresh to salt and get a 300?

 

[tttony]

btw, Im looking for a better home for all these guys, When I
I say this guy is big, its fatter than most guys arms. at least 14inches around. this is the biggest bio mass ive seen in years besides a red tail cat here and there.

So Im gonna up grade the filter system and add another 30 gallon Rubbermaid tub filled with media and get back to a two week 60 gallon h20 change.......

Looks good tony. You know where the lions are going.

 

[tttony]

is this your first post?

Ive got a 30 gallon rubber maid homemade sump with two 6 gallon pails filled will bio balls,sponge, charcoal,ceramic noodles. My water quality is fine, now. But I anticpate the paroon shark and the bass growing well into to 20 " range. So im adding another 30 gallon rubbermaid filled with similar medis soon.After 50 gallons a week watere change ,MY fish are doing well. Return pump is a little giant md4

 

[th3champish3r3]

what is the fish in the first picture?...somewhat resembles a shark with clown loach patterns?

 

[tttony]

Its a Sextifaiciatus , which I believe is a striped african perch. its always swimming and has grown from 2 1/2" to 7 " in 8 months, Ive read that they prefer to swim in schools and get up to 3 feet.I holds its own against my much bigger fish.

nice arrowana

 

[stunner620]

you should find a big tiger datnoid, i had one but then i sold because he was getting very aggresive, but very strong, smart fish..

 

[tttony]

I saw those golden wide bar Datniods and really those were the only fish I wanted. But up state here in Orange County and even down in Northern jersey nobody can get them bigger than 2 inches. Plus I hear they need salt in the water. Please keep an eye out for any bigger than 5 inches and id come get it.

Nice wood work in the tank. The silver and the shark are going to be a monsters. The one I had in my 120w out grew the tank within one year. I gave it to my uncle in lake success to put in his 400 gallon champion japanese koi tank, and that 4 ft monster is a very nice mix with the kois swimming at the bottom.
