140 gallon long

Converting to planted predatory.

Leopard Centapoma
Sengal Polypterus
Snake skin Gouramis
Red tail Shark
Columbian pike (species unknown)
Clown loaches
Bristle nosed pleco
Pictus cat
Breeding Kribs

Eventually the Clown loaches will be removed. The largest one is now 6-7 inches. The Pike may have to be removed as well depending on aggression and or size. I would like to switch to dwarf pike.

Here are 3 more tanks. I will have 1 more to put into the contest but in the process of setting it up.

This one is of my 8' long 300 gallon Vieja/Paratheraps tank. (I know, they are all classified as something else now) and a male/female Bocourti, 3 delhezi Poly, and 4 exotic plecos.

This is my 400 gallon. I am trying to set up a breeding tank with this one, and just house 4 different pairs. Haven't quite got the combination that I want. It is home to my male/female Argentea, a pair of Hartwegi, a WC male Ecuadorian Festae and a female TriMac. Oh and 1 albino blue eyed bristle nose, and a Raphy cat

Last is my Marineland 300 gallon tank 6 x 3 x 27. It is home to my Hoga pair, Zonatus pair, female Heterospila, Female Grammode, Female Atro, Godmanni, Pearsi, and Robertsoni. Plus 1 large reg pleco, a 6" Raphy cat, and a Blythe loach.

Went and found a pic that was of my first tank that got me back into the hobby and its replacement that soon followed. I was away from fish keeping for over 20+ years and my first tank was a 65g breeder sized with the intention of a single male midas. I soon realized I wanted more fish and a bit larger of a tank. So the one on the floor was my 5ft 120g.

Thanks Addicted, put some thought on how to safely house and breed a smaller fish in a predatory atmosphere. Little did I know a pair of Kribs are a force to be reckoned with. The male is the only fish that's ever bitten me. Feels like when you put your tongue on a 9V battery....ha! The male easily defends that corner, the Poly stays at the other end of the tank. Those rocks I cut out of slate and mounted them on a sheet of acrylic. There is also a hollow rock in betted in the back. You can see where the Kribs breed from the side of the tank.

Looking good Anthraxx! Ive been trying to figure out what I want to do with my 56g, so it was nice to see pics to get some ideas.

Love the "catfish". He is fine, after all they only grow to the size of their tank, right?
