135 Gallon FW Preditor tank

[tanks4thememories]

Now that I have your attention...lol I meant 6 million dollar as it is a very important question for me...hehehe

I found a larger tank but it is only 135 gallon. How long do you think it will last with the following fish in it?:

(1) 9 inch Jardini
(1) 8 inch clown knife
(1) 8 inch Pleco
(1) 6 Inch elec catfish
(1) 6 Inch Needle Gar
(1) 8 inch POLYPTERUS ENDLICHERI

The largest tank I could find in my budget range right now is the 135 Gallon
How long do you guys think I can keep the above fish in a tank that size before I need a larger tank?

And no to all the wise guys who I'm sure will ask: you will not get 6 million dollars for answering this question...lol In fact your only reward will be a very fond thank you and the knowledge that you made some fish very happy...lol

i would say maybe 3-4 months in a 135g. lots of those fish are fast growers and will need huge tanks. that total stock is going to need a 500g+ tank fullgrown

I was afraid of that. I know a lot of them slow down at a certain size so I was hoping someone knew when that was. As far as the final size I was gonna go with 240 Wide. Would be kinda tight but should work out as long as I get a 240 Wide (72 x 30 x 25).

the clown knife and arowana especially will need larger. i would go with at least a wide 400g, 72x36x36. theyre $1000 at big als

yeah... you should maybe find a pet store that will take them... or try selling themand you could keep the endli and neednose if you rreally wanted but i know big endli's are in demand right now.. and you can keep the pleco

Look at the added space its really only @ 6 inches up and deep. That can be handled with proper filtration. I really do not see much value in such a minor increase in swimming area.

PS what is the link to Big Al's?

[cocoa_pleco]

big als is www.bigalsonline.com but they only list small tanks there, you have to inquire about larger tanks in store

So the general concensus is with 135 im buying myself about 4 months?
