This is one guy I would love to meet someday. His tanks are exquisite. His fish are stunning. Please enjoy his video.
His name is Mel and he is my hero. :D

Check out his other videos on you tube. His handle is GuapolteMel. His 600 gal tank with his 27" Dovii is awesome.

And he's local. He's my inspiration for istlanum, and lyonsi. Also I try to think as my managuense pair as a mini version of his dovii tank.

If I didnt like you two, me calling both of you idiots, could be taken the wrong way. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I personally just want a tank big enough so that I can swim with the fishes.

I wonder how big those rocks are in his tank. I bet they are over a foot in diameter, probably weighing at least 25+ lbs ea, if not more.

2' Betta! 1,000,000 guppies! :violent: :violent: :violent:

Hey you started it with the whole dream tank! And not to correct you but 1,000,000 guppies would be overstocked if you follow the 1" per gallon rule. I would only have 1,000! :roll:

No way. I have 1000 babies in a 75 gal. Guppies aren't much bigger. I say 1,000,000. Then add my big boys. :twisted:

That would be a massacre!

Those guppies would kill your big boys, because they would choke to death on all those fish! :laughhard:

My dream tank is to have a tank on 3 sides of a 150 square foot room that is 3-5 feet tall. A big U-shaped one that you can stand in the middle of and have a 270 degree view of tank. And then have it be full of tropical communities and plants. Have a shoal of like 100 rasboras...

I think I'm a little more realistic, I just want to seal up the house and give wife and kids scuba gear.
