first of all, how do I find out how many gallons that actually is?

and would this stocking be alright?

Jack Dempsey
Green Terror
Clarias Cat
Black Ghost Knife
X3 Spotted Gar
X4 Redhook Silver dollars
1 common plec



would this be too much? could I have some more? anything you'd do differently?


...do you think I could get away with adding an aro?
 
Type measurements into google like this, I assume it's in feet:

11 feet x 4 feet x 4 feet in US gallons

and you will get approx. measurement. Obviously gravel, aquscaping and the like displace water + you've probably measured outside proportions of tank.

:good:

That's over 1000 gallons. Seriously :crazy: Can't be inches or cm so who knows. Sounds like wrong measurements to me.
 
nope, those are the actual dimensions, in feet
 
1316.57 USG to be exact.thats a huge tank.if i were u i would be getting larger fish than that.bichirs ,rays, large catfish,arowana,gars(u already got this one),dats,big eels,and larger knifes.there really is a large selection.i would post it in the odballs section where the monter keepers can have a whack at ur stocking.
 
I don't really know about your stocking, I'm used to stocking little tanks. But I would add some stingrays. IF they're compatible. :good: Ask the oddballs section. But don't forget to give us pics. :good:
 
I'd say get an Asian red Aro if possible, along with a clown knife, some rays, some gars and some sort of large eel
 
Do the decent thing and go Salt water pred.

You can still have rays, but instead of boring fish like gars or arowanas, you can keep them with real sharks. And instead of borwns and tans, the rays will be yellow and blue other nice bright colours B)

Add in a panther grouper and a lionfish or porcupine fish and you have the makings of a great tank. Finish up the stocking with some larger shoalers and maybe a harlequin tuskfish.

Or, you could always keep a leopard moray and see if you can grow it to its full potential (10 feet of aggressive nastiness).
