is it salwater or freshwater? i'd assume freshwater but like you said anything can happen depending on the size of your dream.
It's Freshwater and that is actually what I prefer. I do have some saltwater tanks(4) but over 100 freshwater tanks.
I can handle the upkeep of freshwater a lot better.

when i win the lottery il be asking for some tips :), your tank is awesome. where did your source such big specimens from?
With very few exceptions I raised the fish from small fry. For example 2 of the redtails I got from Jerry Draper at The Tropical Fish Room at 2 inches. The Wallego I got from Aquarium Services (Big Al's) in 1992 at about a foot. The Arapiamas were only about 6-7 inches when I got them. The heaviest Colasoma was only 1" when I bought her in the early 1990's.

Call me when you win the lottery.........
