starting a 150 gallon predator tank

[marktheshark]

Well i would say that because you are looking at predatory fish get a fx5 and a smaller canister or three mid range canister rated for 125-200 gallons

Ok great! Do you think it should be planted?

Hmm. With the wolf fish ya you can do planted haha. But it still depends on what you want it stocked with.

Gars, lung fish, snakeheads (depending on where you live), black rhom, payara, wolf fish,

What kind of snake heads would work?

I do believe snake heads are illegal in NJ. What about peacock bass?

Ive done research on snakeheads and I'm beginning to be turned off.... would rather keep more then one fish in my tank. I would consider keeping peacock bass but not sure.

Snakeheads are illegal in all of the usa. Peacock bass may work but the tank is and the small size for them.

That's why Im not sure about them. I know my lfs has wolf fish but can't find out how big they get.

 

[Hbbambislayer]

Up to 2 feet

Up to 2 feet

Wolf fish not wolf cichlids. Wolf fish get up to 8-12" max

Lol yes scratch those. Here in FL they are in our backyards pretty much. It's nice you kill em, turn them in and get a reward =) because they are highly illegal! On bounty trips. They usually have tourney like things where you go out and see who fishes the biggest/most and get different rewards. I like the thought of peacock bass. Will be following this as well! Can't wait to see the end results.
