New addition to the pup grow out.... Baby High Back Gold Asian Arowana

Ja trailer is 2.2x5 to give you some scale. Picking it up was easy part. Now need to figure out way to get it into my 2 bedroom flat while sneaking it past my wife

 

@top dog ..Hahhha your wife is hooked anyway so you will be fine!!!

Awesome!!

 

Thanks Maria
Took her threw to workshop to see it and try to convince her to let the tank stay at work and move crumpet her ray to the workshop. It did not go to plan, but she is excited and going on holiday when I try get it into my flat.

For now it is physically the biggest tank I can fit into my house without having to do crazy stuff like mounting tv on top of tanks. Believe I should be able to have trio of rays quite happily for life, but bigger is better. Photo side on for size ref @Whoknows

 

That's looks huge. Who you going to move it into flat. Gosh I love it...

 

@top dog ... Hahhha did you really think she would allow crumpet out of sight?
That was wishful thinking!!!

I know some of you guys duck and dive the Minister but when the Minister is hooked believe me, place will be found for the tank!!

@Whoknows ,

2.6m X 1m X 700 will comfortably house 4 rays for life depending on the species

Providing they not pure Motoros or Pearls you will be fine
With hybrids, you could probably house 5 especially if they have mini marble mix in them

This being said, it is providing you have sufficient filtration in your tank.... nice big sump
You cant run on internal filters only long term
You might get away with it while they small but once they reach about 15cm disc you looking for trouble without a sump

Its the same size as mine and I usually have 4 adults and two youngsters depending on how we need to move them around

 

@top dog ... I have to agree hehhe....
This will be an awesome project and we want to see...

 

Hahhaa @top dog and I are still conservative.... try 7 rays in one tank... 3.6 X 1.2 X 900

I must be honest, I love my built in internal filters and will never have a tank without them again
You have no idea how fast those filters draw all the floating debris into them
They have intake holes all the way from the bottom to the top of the tank, they magic

 

Haha no... 10 is looking for trouble even in that tank

My internal filters have two rows of holes all the way from top to bottom
I also removed the covers you see on the picture below

 

Thanks @Whoknows ,

I must say the internal filters built this way are just miracle workers especially on big tanks.

 

Doing great so far, eating almost anything you throw in for her

Will snap some shots again soon

 

@top dog How are you going to get that thing into a flat?? WOW it's massive
