8ft 240 stocking question

[djlamonica]

I just want to add a general statement , peacocks and mbuna do not mix

I am stubborn, I tried.

You can do less aggressive mbuna with peacocks people do it all the time.

Only thing I would try would be yellow or white labs.

But worth the hassle of guessing what will and won't work to me.

But, I also like a lot of rock and wood in my tanks.  So trying to get the "bad guy fish" out is a real pain

I am going to go with the male peacock hap Idea and lots of rocks and driftwood.

I like the color of the peacocks, and there are some that will get 8"+, when I say I want a Holy Sh%% tank, I just want it to be nice looking and happy.

I got back into this hobby to enjoy fish and yes I am guilty of changing my mind a million times but on this tank I want it to be a show piece and with the colors of the peacocks and haps, I feel that is what I will get.

I am also going to get creative with some diy decorations I read about on another site.

I have my bad boy fish in the basement(fish room) and will have a variety of different fish down there, that I can always get the "flavor of the month" fish.

I am going to take my time on this tank, both making the stand and canopy and all the plumbing.

I love this fish hobby and love doing projects that I can do, so this is going to be one of those.

I am lucky in the sense that I have the know how to build stuff like this,lucky to come across great deals, but this is where i get my enjoyment. Not being able to do a lot of the things I used to do and be able to afford to do things like before is why i am very DIY.

I find the advice that I get from you people to be priceless and thats why I continue to come on here.

So Hear is to the "big" tank and I promise once its all set up and running I will post pictures, maybe have Steve or Mike Z come over with there photo skills and try taking some "aqua-mojo" pictures

Look forward to seeing what you do with it Rich. Have you decided for sure on filtration and lighting you plan to use yet?

Another 8' thread?

Pipe dowm you silly fish keeper I have asked the higher up's to take down the other post, since I have decided on the stocking plans. I dont need to clutter the board with 8ft tank treads

[Regalblue]

Exactly...  Why didn't you just post this in the already existing relevant thread?   You jump around too damn much.  I think I'm gonna start calling you Peter,  as in Peter rabbit.

Closed at the request of the author.

What kind of larger peacocks were you thinking about. (I was kind of hoping for an 8 ft guppy tank.)

Shouldnt have locked it.  There was good discussion in that thread as to mixing with peacocks.  Oh well.


When you get sick of the build of this tank and setup... let me know in case I havent found an 8' tank yet.

IDK Ken, are you gonna want a bottomless 8'er?

Yes There's a merge button for moderators.  It allows for the powers that be to put multiple threads together.

I have no idea what you are talking about.
