How Bad Isit?

Where would you plan on keeping them? Some of the fish you have in your signature and new additions I haven't kept so I'm unsure regarding compatability.
If your keeping the bala's they should be in groups of at least 6 and can grow to 14 inches. Clown loach have been known to live 25 years too. Quite a big commitment there.

Yes I Know and I am committed tomorrow Im going to pick up some more balas, What can go with the fish in my 200g stocking, Any cichlids compatible, here are the dimensions; 72x34x25 inches.

Snake, I want to know how did you luck into a 200 gallon tank, cycled, unstocked, for free?

 

[micko]

I would say the 200G is pretty much at the limit of your adding more bala's tomorrow (how many do you wish the final number to be?) Along with the clowns.
They may be small but will need lots of room and you really have to take into account the adult size when getting fish.

Today I was at a house boot sale sort of thing, saw this beautiful fish tank, I asked the guy how much he said Its not for sale, I said why not, he said hes giving it away as he dont want to go through the hassle of selling it.
I asked no more questions and took away the tank - took 6 of us to lift it.
Im developing a fish room thats why I have so many tanks and theres more to come.

Congrats on that! I'm sure the whole story of the move and set up at your house could be a thread of it's own! Surprised there were no 10 inch Oscars or Pacus in it.

Im thinking of making my house a semi aquarium so like get people to pay a small donation which will be given to a chosen charity, to see the tanks and especially the 900g which is starting to come to light!

Is that the one with the built in heater? Puts out 450 gph each.

 

[snake007]

Yes thats the one, so my filterations good then?

 

[creeker]

Yes, four turns in an hour is good for a 200 gal tank. The two together will give you that.
