awesome dude...i wud be too scared to buy so many expensive arows in the same tank together but it shud work out cuz 5++ arows curb aggression! best of luck. im looking for a blue-based crossback malaysian arowana myself! they r stunning and not as boring/common as the red arows!
Can you guess what's gonna go into this MONSTROSITY?

Hmmm, this is exactly what my older brother said" basically don't put all your eggs in the same basket lolTLkmDN;2433306; said:
I am not concerned for aggression (you are right 5+ almost no risk)... more for water readiness (two more weeks to go). At the moment the water is cycling with two marble pims (~10" each ...so shoulda been eating and pooing and everything) together with two walking feeder catfishes. All fish has grown remarkably while in the new set-up. Pims seem to be active - could be due to strong current. I did not want to use feeders (did not want risk infecting the new tank with something new).
The ultimate test will come this weekend, when i will take the green aro and put him into the new set-up....after the canopy is completed. If he is OK, the rest should be OK also.
As of Sunday there were still nitrite readings (i have finally found a liquid test kit in the marine shop) but the pims do not seem to be bothered (eatig like pigs and all that) so that is a good sign. I have left two pieces of shrimp in the sump for extra amonia generation - plus maintaining a heater at 28C (cos getting cooler now).
PS: will be adding the pix of the completed set-up minus canopy tonight
f8ck me!
a blue based malaysia aro!
it is litereally my dream aro (1 of 3 - albino arowana in that indo dragon poster, electric blue based gold aro and that red blue base aro you just showed) jesus christ!
i think i just lostl.... i mean i think i just blew my load!!! holy crap
that tank, is jizm worthy!
becareful, you might find someone touching themselves in front of your tank.....
ok im sorry i got carried away lol but really
if i lived in asia and had the cash, i would do exactly that and more! aros, armatus, pangasius and large catfish and rays EVERYWHERE!
but in new zealand, i dont think so, it just cost me 750 euros for a 4th level RTG - a blue based malaysian will be something in the realm of 2000 euros.
oh well, i can dream but that pic is beautiful!

2000 euros? Not quite but not too far actually hmmm, i hope black background does not dampen the blue base (i must say i got caught up in the shopping spree )Surprisingly armatus is actually not that expensive around here (less than your RTG to be sure) - but i have finally ran out of tank space i think ...hmmm may have to replace my 7' with 8' later on ... something to think about i suppose ... the fish room will be awefully crowded
My ex-tank where the new tank is still out of action - have to bring that on line then separate jar (and green and two pims if they survives the water testing run)
Oh, mine is blue-based gold (last pix) not blue base red ... the picture of green-based red is from someone elsehenward;2433989; said:f8ck me!

Just an update on the tank that is cycling plus the temporary residents ^^ notice how big the pims have got ...they did not eat the feeders which were with them for ages (so decontamintated) - one escaped because of no canopy situation.
the tank looks completely black with tinted back and sides as well as black gravel. Pims are almost invisible i can see that a canopy with light will be a must for viewing (hopefully this weekend finished so that a test subject green aro can be move to test water for arriving aros) ... i am starting to question my design for all black tank (but it looked so cool in my friend's place with light on ... i did not realize it was THIS dark)... actually it was not so bad without black gravel (but it looked really ugly from the top .... hmmm i wonder if it is possible to easily remove the tint ... (this is tint for cars btw)
PS: this time in two weeks all the residents will be there it is a count down

Nice!
like the pims, but more of a perruno man myself
im counting down too
DAMN IT, i cant wait that long...
.. thats gonna be one sweet set up
p.s. you dont need money if youve got fish
of course bro we can always dream of these majestic fishies =) i only had a rtg/banjar red/ and super red but seeing that x-back go in your new tank is like WHOA!!! my dream fish is in your hands at the moment =P your new tank beat me by .5 my width is 2.5 lol
Pims are not staying as permanent residents - they together with a green aro (not yet put) are testing water for the set-upIveGotTheBestTank;2434445; said:

"you dont need money if youve got fish"
but you do those eat eat quite a lot it seems (sat down and did the math - OUCH) Not yet in my hands but thirteen days and countingselki;2434445; said:
i did not realize that 3' was that big until i saw it. One foot difference really makes a huge diff. next to 2' set-up this is HUGE (of course no match for the outdoor - but this is indoor!!!)
that is a beautiful tank! cant wait for updates! and its better to put all ure arows in at the same time because it does not give them a chance to claim territory and become aggressive.
