They look great

Have you bred them?

 

[dodgers86]

No nothing yet i dont think any of them are mature yet, maybe the tiger is but as you know thats almost impossible to breed them.

I used 1" glass but the panels are only 3 feet wide and 5 feet deep to get away with that thickness.

check out this video...........maybe I can catch my fish that way..........

The audio is Japanese, but you don't need to understand to be amazed.

A few more pictures of my 40inch babies

I hope you like them. The tank is approx 18 feet from the glass to the back wall in the payne of glass we are viewing them through and the depth is the standard 9 feet of water (uniform for the whole tank). Sorry for the sheen of light on the glass in a couple of the pictures.
