[pjo17]

im surprised that bass hasnt eaten them clown loaches yet

[MXZCharlie]

do blacks get as big as silvers?. i want one, but im afraid my 180 isnt big enough as people have told me.

[iLikETurtleS1029]

cool were do u live in the us cuz i want a peacock bass and its really hard to get it were i live.

[iLikETurtleS1029]

i have a 7 inch silver arowana what should i feed it so it can grow farst and get big??

[beastyt209]

@iLikETurtleS1029 try shrip , and hikari food brands ;)

[Sinkthefrog]

@iLikETurtleS1029 High protein, like market shrimp. Remove the horn from them and feed them raw to your fish. Also, you can buy dehorned freeze-dried krill in a car for pretty cheap. The FD krill are what I use as my staple food, with market shrimp thrown in every now and then.

hey could u help me how long could i keep a peacock bass in a 90 gallon tank i want one but i wld like to no when i wld need to upgrade to a bigger tank

[beastyt209]

@jacksonjones402 for a 90 gallon , i say when they are around a foot or a little bit longer upgrade to a bigger tank , these fish grow very fast , and if your planning to have a 90 gallon i say maximum of 2 pbass and upgrade to at least a 125 - 150 gall , or if u want even bigger than at least a 200 gall.

[Sinkthefrog]

@jacksonjones402 I wouldn't put pbass in a 90 gallon at any size. Also, you want to work in odd numbers, not evens, so get 3 instead of 2. These guys grow extremely quick, they'll be too big for your 90g in less than a year. To house them comfortably you would need at least double that size. Also, it research the species you're getting. Some species of pbass get almost 4 feet long when fully grown, others get to 3 foot in captivity, easy.

[MrStewPadasle]

@sinkthefrog yes they will grow full size in captivity but it is very rare to c one in captivity that isn't deformed

[MrStewPadasle]

@lovehatefu in the wild they get about 30 inches but in captivity never really get over 2ft

[Sinkthefrog]

@MrStewPadasle This isn't really true. Most types of fish usually get bigger in the wild, however, I've seen plenty of captive arowanas reaching up to three feet long in person.

[lovehatefu]

dont black arowanas get to be like 40 inches?

[TheBassmaster45]

what size tank is that

[Dtrovato19]

ya thats what i thought the temp needed to be, well i have 2 florida gars, a hujeta gar a largemouth bass and a rock bass and they go through 200 feeders in a week and i have to get rid of some of them but i dont want to let any go:(

[Dtrovato19]

peacocks can live in warm freshwater right?

[504stunta]

@Dtrovato19 Yes do you think southern flordia and the amazon river are cold?

[Dtrovato19]

thats what i thought but some stupid cunt at a petstore told me differently and we got into an arguement about it so i was just making sure

[Sinkthefrog]

Haha yea. They are warm water fish. Local to the amazon, they get gigantic! My tank temp is kept around 78F. I don't have these fish anymore though. But higher temp means more active fish, for the most part.

[Trae731]

@Dtrovato19 yes!

[sk8rplanbbdc]

im about to get some bass in my tank..any tips??..p.s your tank is really cool!

[Sinkthefrog]

They are pretty mean, make sure their tankmates can't fit into their mouths! Also, they grow really quickly at the start, until about a foot long or so. They can out grow other fish that are currently the same size as them, pretty quickly...then it's lunch time.

[anberlin67]

u have the coolest fish tank ever u got loach arowhana ur awsome

[pauly300300]

those loaches wont last long wait till the bass get little bigger

[bsauvin]

do you know where we can buy them, I am in France?

[Gabriel1568444]

how much do you pay in fish?

[Gabriel1568444]

2 meters long 2 meters wide and 80cm high?

[Gabriel1568444]

please give me the measure of this aquarium thank you.

[Sinkthefrog]

I think it's about 2x2x8...maybe 2x2x7, my volume equations aren't what they used to be. =p

[redomoda]

may i know what's the length and width of your tank?

[Sarrixx]

man those clown loaches are huge! sweet tank man

[88missingLife]

lol

[Fiestalover11]

wow

[Fiestalover11]

god i want ur tank how much did it cost

[Sinkthefrog]

Haha thanks. I want to say that everything totals probably a few thousand dollars. Expensive, but worth it to me and my girl. =D

[Sinkthefrog]

Yea, everything eats it. The tank is just highly competitive so everyone eats anything they can.

[12addictedfish]

wow nice clean tank and heakthy fish like your loaches

[jbjy]

[Sinkthefrog]

Fluval FX5.
