Vallisneria Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Some info about your tank would be helpful. Tank size, possible other tank mates etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDFISHGUY Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 African Fever was trying to sell his. I don't know if its still for sale,but its an awesome specimen. I'd talk to him before you make your decision. He's the only one, I know, on this forum that has one. I'm sure if he doesn't want to sell he can, at least, share his experience.

polleni-puffer Posted December 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 only 70 gallons right now *sniff sniff* tank mate would be an oscar and a sting-ray and once they out-grow that(i know i only got like 3 months untill ide have to upgrade in that thing) which would all get maoved into a 180+ gallon for all three. (and this is off topic but i guy i know got a golden dorato and has the poor fish in a 20 gallon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rED O Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 (edited) and african fever sold his to red O :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs: he is a sexy aro :P How much are big als selling theres for? i might pick one up and have to ( jokes ) it should be 25% off on boxing day. Also I would not think of a arowana unless you have a 230 gallon tank. The blacks and silvers get larger as well. It can be done, but unless you have 230 gallons I would think of another fish.

I had to sell my silver cause he got too big for my 230. Unless you plan on building a tank like Dustin, I wouldn't get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatpuffer Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 I would advise against buying a fish without proper accomodation. Even with puffer i.e. fahaka, people always say "I will upgrade" but sh*t happens and life throws you a curve ball and prevents you from upgrading when your fish needs the room. My advise buy the tank, then the fish. Jonah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
African_Fever Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 I agree with above, buy the tank, then the fish. Black aro's aren't too hard to order when they're in season, but getting a tank big enough for one is much more difficult for a lot of people.

polleni-puffer Posted December 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 ya ,ive been thinking and have made a decesision. I will put the fish on hold(where you pay for like half of it) untill after christmass when i have the money to get a new tank. (and i think thats realistic ,like its onlt 3 weeks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I third this opinion, never buy the fish before the tank. 9/10 times when someone says they will get a giant tank for a fish they never do. Buy the tank first, then buy the fish, especially since you are only 13. Are your parents going to let you buy a 200+tank?
