my god the cost of water changes must cost a fortune. you deserve more than a lot of credit for building that monstrosity.

Welcome to monsterfishkeepers. I use wells so its not too bad. I'm doing a 30,000 gallon change right now as I lower the tank to 4 feet deep and we try to catch the black shark.

What monsters do you keep. I visit Dragon Aq and Big Als's in Mississauga a couple of times a year.

Thats where I go... I have a Paroon Shark that I will need to find a home for in the next few months.. would you be interested?? LOL I'll grow it out for you!!!! :naughty:

Otherwise I have a Texas whos about 5 or 6 inches, pair of convicts, just got a Bichir... and I have a 4 inch FH.. and a baby Blue dempsey with crayfish and goldfish and some Texas Fry...

I really do love your set up.. That is such a dream and if I won the lotto and could afford that I would totally build something like it... ok maybe not 50 thousand gallons but maybe a couple of thousand... wow.... :drool:

Hey that sounds OK with me with the Panagasius sanitswongi. How big is he now?

When you are ready contact the fish room co manager SIMON at big Als in Oakville. Give him your phone number and I will get in touch with you.

That is SUCH a relief!! Will definitely do that.. We will grow it out for you... hubby wants to keep it to at least 2 feet... right now he/she is about 10 inches.. still very small...

The Black Shark (Morulius chrysophekadion)
has been caught and removed from the tank allowing for the introduction of a couple of young red tail cats (Phractocephalus hemioliopterus)
( one 24" and the other 36"). The black shark has killed several fish including 3 big red tails.
