Have Fun Stocking A 270 Gallon For Me

[cheesy feet]

Hmm well after around 2 1/2 years I should finally be setting up my 270 gal-315 gal system...With no money to stock it.H5!
Video of progress on my YouTube channel.
I already have a basic idea of what I want to put in there.But what would you want to put in there?
Nothing ridiculous in price though..

What about offering a rehoming sevice on aqauriast classifieds? then you get free fish, only prob is you never know what you will get

 

[cheesy feet]

It would probably end up with a load of predatory fish eating each other

sounds good,
what type of fish you into now mate? have not seen you in agggges

I would get, rainbow channa [not sure of there latin name], some barca channa [nice & rare I think?] and some rare gars

Woo, just tested the two sumps and they're working great-thought I would have had to use flexible tubing to join the 4 bulkheads together (2 on each tank) but luckily my drilling skillz are accurate enough that the pvc pipes can join straight across.Now I need to put the baffles in and silicone the overflow, a job for tomorrow.

Chnna Bleheri?
Only need £2500 spare for channa barca
Never really looked into snake heads, but wouldn't they eat each other?

No as long as you choose tank mates wisely, but with your size tank which is?
i would go for the mid sized channa like my parachanna obscura / channa pleurophthalma /

so what intrests you and what do you already have going in to work around?

 

[cheesy feet]

I'm liking the channa pleurophthalma- apparently its docile for a snakehead as well.
Basic stocking idea I have is motoro rays, herichthys bocourti, surubim lima catfish, megalodorus uranscopus (sp), dats, RTG arrowana, fire eel, cichla pinima- think that may actually be the huge species, in which case I'm thinking of one of the smaller ones.

 

[england]

yes you would be fine with those with channa, have you seen my stock list in the 5ft?

id say cichla pinima are big
