How you would even net a fish like that for transfer boggles the mind.

Did you have those fish from young?

I had that rtg from a 5cm fish mate, im a genious i know :) The rays are still pups there.

your both wrong with the nets though haha
i used double big bags mate and ditched them in a garbage bin.

i almost lost that rtg when i was catching it out, it actually ripped through two layers of the bag and almost landed on the ground. Very powerful creatures.

that clown knife would have been atleast 50-60cm it was a pest when i had it as it keep chasing my super red

inspiration? Yes but alot of work and risk mate after all its your bank balance that shows.

Nicholas,

i fed them mainly hikari carnivore pellets and shrimps you buy at the markets.
on occasion it would of hard live food like goldfish, crickets and mealworms.

cheers

nice aro, mine ate all my clown loach in the tank! i was surprise they didnt die from the barbs!
did u mix your 2 aro together at any stage?
one lot i had 6 in a tank and i had to separate them because they seemed too aggresive as they grew older!

no mixing mate although i always was tempted too. Im pretty sure they would have fought and its something which no one wants - torn fins, droped scales, scratchs etc.

if you had them together at a young age it should be alright, they would settle and get used to eachother... see whos boss. But its harder when they start to grow bigger.

Tam real nice fish :D
How much did you sell the rays for ? & did you have a female ?
My wife just spent $3500- on a nice RTG so looks like I have the same to spend NAG free.
Some rays would be good :mrgreen:

i must say, the two last pics made my jaw drop.
for me that is the dream aquarium..

may i ask how many litres it is?
how big in M..
and what fish is in it at that picture.

i specially like the look of the fish on the picture above the last one there, the fish at the upper left.
