Building My 50,000 Gallon Monster Mega Tank

The rate appears to be similiar to most large international fish conventions.

The ACA in Georgia is $104 per room per night.

Big guy I know it can be tough when you have a large young family as you do,

If you can not make this convention, I really understand.

I will try to come to the Ohio cichlid convention in the fall and if I do I will catch up with you there.

I'd really like to be involved with the round table discussion of mega tanks. Even though mine is a puddle in comparison to a certain persons tank....

I'll see what mama has to say about it LOL

If you are able to come that will be fantastic and you would be a great guy on the round table since you are so knowledgeable in the actual construction of large aquariums and technical fundamentals.

I feed them trout, salmon, mackeral, herring & pellets.

They also eat fish they catch in the tank

I bought them young and raised them.

The female Wallago I bought in Mississauga Ontario at Aquarium Services (Now also called Big Al's) in 1991 at 11". She was sold as a JUMBO Wallago. for $40

The male Wallago I bought at The Fish Place in North Tonawanda New York in 1999 for $50 at 14".

Here is a pic of the female Wallago taken in 1992 in a 180 with some Tilipia mozambique I had bought the tilipia at an auction in 1988 and the largest males evenually got to be 18".
