What do you think? Constructive Criticism welcome. Feel free to post pics of your tanks.

I like the re-scape. The rock features look better centered in the tank. Creates a nice focus area.

I tried to take the tank from being half fake driftwood and half rock and tried to incorporate them together.

What's the stock?

Looks like a blood parrot and an oscar to me

 

[Chris J]

3 Tiger Oscars, 1 Albino
all about 8-9" the albino is a bit smaller than the other 2

Silver Arrowana - 6-7"

Blood Parrot - 6"

Convict - 4-5"

Humpback Puffer - 4-5"

Brown Knife - 6"

Red Eared Slider turtle - 7-8" Shell

Common Pleco - 7-8"

I know all are not SA but I am trying to get to an Amazon Biotope feel as far as decor.

Im guessing you already know the arow will need a bigger tank. But that is a really cool stock!

I just noticed how empty the tank looks in the pictures. I'll try and get pics of the stock tomorrow as I'm stuck at work until then.

I'm trying to get a 180 or maybe even a bit bigger but I want to try and get acrylic and I want to use this tank as a SW Aggressive tank. If worse comes to worse and I can't get a tank before he gets too large I can take him to another LFS and the owner will take him. He has the resources as he already owns a 5' arapima in a 1000+ gallon tank.

Wow I want to see that tank and own it lol

The arapima

To put some perspective that other fish is a 2' - 2 1/2' Pacu.
The tank itself is very minimal so the arapima has plenty of room to move.

I think the dimensions are 8'x8'x4'deep
