Building My 50,000 Gallon Monster Mega Tank

[arapaimag]

A few more pics taken in February.

This arapaima is called Nemesis. Notice the marks on the bottom lip. She get it by running into rocks when she is hunting cichlids. Sedna the other arapaima seldom gets this type of injury when hunting.

I really give Rusty Wessell and James Martin all the credit with their great camera work.

Did you put the turbo in your car?

The female wallago leerii looking at the containers of mackerel fish being prepared for feeding.

She is very smart and actually can identify herring from the trays I thaw them out on before I feed the tank and actually have no part of them unless she is very hungry. She loves mackerel however and it gets her to the front for James Martin to take pictures in this case.

The Arapaima like herring as much as mackerel so its an easy feed day for them on those occasions.

That is the Arapaima Nemesis's mouth at the top of the picture. And below the female Wallago you can see the male Wallago leerii swimming probably about 6 to 8 feet in the background.

This build is amazing. 10,000 gallon weekly water changes..... I complain about doing 60.

It's not really that hard or bad for me as I am basically using just a drip (rather fast) system with about 2,000 gallons a day added.
