thats sweet and How long will that 6 by 2 pond work for?
For all the fish I have in it? Not long it's just temporary until the big tank is finished. I've seperated the oscars out to the big boy's tank to hopefully keep the stocking levels of both ponds about the same until it's finished. Then I'll slowly combine them all into the 4000 gal.

I'd say you'd be find with that size. That would be an awesome tank! Good dimensions. You going wood, or concrete, or what?

On the Rio Araguaia, I wish...
More pics of the Fila! I can't enjoy mine fully with side shots for now only overhead but he's looking beefy and doing great. I'd say the streamers on my Fila are a good 5".

How big is your guy now? Mine is pushing 14" and is finally eating shrimp. Looking just now I'd say his streamer is around 8". I don't hear of too many other MFKr's posting up on their's. Makes me wonder just how many are still around. I almost lost mine when he sliced the side of his face off on some drift wood. Also cut his eye in half. It was pretty rough for a while, but man he's really made a comeback.

He's doing more bulking back up after his winter fast. His water stayed really cool this winter and he didn't eat for around 3-4 months. He's done that for the past two winters now. Then he'll bulk up and start growing again during the summer when I feed him a ton. Trying to come up with some homemade pellets for him. Need to get some ice trays. I don't feed him much at a time every other day right now. I give him maybe two handfulls of shrimp right now, and some cichlid pellets that he steels from the oscars in with him. I'm hoping that he will break the 4' mark, but if he makes it to the 5' mark I'll take it!
