What are the dimensions?
Have you got your red belly problem fixed now? (ie..added a couple more fish and at least a 75g tank?) |

Wildwoods sometimes has them for sale on their online shop, if you get fed up of waiting a type of dwarf snakehead might work and look abit similar.

I certainly do have my red belly problems fixed ... I have had him for awhile now and is doing perfectly well. The dimensions of the tank are 36wide x 18Height x 18Deep The woman I bought it from says its a 53 ... which well doesn't add up but I have confirmed the measurements myself.

Fed up and wait for a Piranha? No the Piranha is in a 75 all to his own ... I am looking for a fish for the 50 (or 53 so the previous owner claims) Does a snake head have a tendancy to jump? I don't have a lid for the tank currently. This post has been edited by piranha_tim: Jul 13 2008, 02:03 AM |

Doesn't have to be a quick pred ...
Just something that can live in a 50G - 36" x 18" x 18" Freshwater Diet of Shrimp, mussells and Squid in adulthood would be a plus point. |

Some kind of puffer then. Figure 8 if you can handle brackish water. South american if you want a semi peaceful puffer that lives in fresh. Aggresive freshwater would be congo, king kong, or pignose.

If you decide to get a puffer though, make sure that its the right one or you might have to convert your water.

i cant imagine theyre talking about northerns and muskies. pike cichlid is my guess. ive had northerns AND muskies in aquariums, only when they were very small though. theyre hard to feed everyday and expensive! they dont have a lot of personality either. and, well, you know how big they get
