Title: Heres what 560 gallons looks like...
Post by: runawaypencil on September 25, 2011, 12:43:48 AM
This is left to right and top to bottom tanks sizes   150,  90, 75, 110, 75, 29, 29...  most of which are empty or extremely lights loaded, They are just waiting around for some colonies to start producing.

Here is a challenge for you all can you name that fish in the 150 from the distance and just the back half of the fish...  good luck..


I will add more pics of the colony wall and a show tanks in the next couple days...

I can't even see the fish, so no guessing on my part.

It doesn't look like an arowana to me. It reminds me of something, I just can't get it off the tip of my tongue.

I brought up the idea of a 250 gallon i found on C-List, she said go ahead. I though a little more rationally.. I would love too.. But i know its not a good idea at this time...Or there i'd be.. well over that mark...  I think its better i just look for now.... :P :P

Arowana?  ;D

The size of the anal fin and close proximity to the caudal fin in addition to the length is what made me think it was an aro.

Cool aro BTW - some pictures of each tank individually, or at least some of the larger tanks, would be nice. Then it'd be easier to see what is in them! The setup looks nice and condensed though - certainly easier for maintenance.

I had a silver that was about 18" until he tried going through the glass lid to get a fly that landed on the other side. He broke his back and had to be euthanized. They are beautiful fish, but their jumping habitats make them hard to keep in the traditional aquarium IMO.
