No problem mate.
Dont know anything about such a fish but first places i would check would be wharf aquatics or wildwoods or pier aquatics or the aquarist classifieds if your familiar with em.
I may put the plans on soon but its more for the extension than the tank.

Think i should stop stocking the tank (in my mind) until i have actually got it up and running! You've got a 'Tigrinus', they look stunning, pretty easy to keep?spwd;4118474; said:
At this size ive had no problems and he eats like a trooper and is stunning,i think most of the problems are experienced when they are small like tiny to about 7" after that they seem to get hardier thats why i went for a decent size one and i got a bargain too lol.

that makes sense, the bigger the better all round. sometimes i think getting small, wild caught fish may be a good idea because they would not have had so long to get used to their natural water parameters, but it always pays off to get a larger specimen i totally agree. Bargain price.........where from???! just doing my homework for when the stocking can startspwd;4120298; said:
tropical imports a good bet?I'm going to email them because they have, i believe, i video of a small Prayara ('vampire fish') on their website feeding. I first saw these fish on the recent tv programme, 'river monsters' on itv, they looks great! have you seen it?
should be ordering my epoxy at the end of the week, cant wait to get my hands on it now, feels like ages waiting for the emnd of the month
got mine off aquarist classifieds for £200 at 15",there are few on there at the moment and yes id recommend dan at tropical imports,infact i txt him monday or tuesday to see if he had anymore congicus in.
Yes ive seen river monsters and i think the USA must have the next series now so we will have to wait and yep i know how you feel wating for payday PITA lol

You can get Hydrolycus Scomberoides and Rhaphiodon Vulpinus (Biara) fairly often in reputable LFS.mike huntley;4117934; said:
Scomberoides die by the time they get to a foot though.
You need to have your store special order those two most likely.
Or you can get Hydrolycus Armatus online if you look hard enough. Somebody on here was selling a 23 incher for 900 dollars.
in normal cases Steve i would say no to 2 asian aros but a tank 5ft deep they will be able to keep out of each others way and swim at diffrent levelsspwd;4082121; said:
a word of advice dont buy banjar reds or green asian aros they are very agressive not far of a jardini
i would go for red tail golds great looking fish for good money £300-350
iif you want to see a full grown 8 year old red tail gold go to maidenhead aquatics St Albans the aro they have in the main tank was my old red tail gold they want crazy money for it £2k
i sold that fish for £300
