Hi from durban

Hey guys

Im what you'd call a monster fish keeper :cheesy: currently running few holding tanks and a big 14,000 litre pond
with a number of tropical monsters from

2x Paroon shark's (pangasius sanitwongsei)
8x silver arowana's
2x Tiger shovel nose catfish
1x Redtail catfish
9x Red belly pacu
2x fire eel's
1x Royal clown knife
3x polypterus senegalus

Majority of those will be put in as soon as the heating is sorted with a heat pump used for swimming pools.

Here's a few pics of the recently upgraded pond:

 

@Tuneme, welcome to TASA and enjoy,

I have 1x Silver Aro wish I could get the space for 8.

Do you have these in your holding tanks or still going to purchase them?

 

Wow some HUGE fish, welcome!

 

Hi Tuneme. Welcome and hope you enjoy the site. Can you only view fish from the top

 

Welcome to TASA, enjoy the info.
Got any pics of the fish?

 

Thanks! Yeah wanted to keep them for very long time now, all of them are in holding tanks
the Aro's have there own 4 foot for the moment as there to small to put in my 6 foot with my RTC and TSN

As the get bigger they will eventually go in the pond, I'm gonna try get some clear shot's of all of them

 

Thanks All!!

Here's a few pics of some of the fish will get better pics soon
and if you wondering why they fat, they just ate few hours ago:bigsmile:

 

Hello And Welcome.
Nice Pacus!

 

Welcome.

 

Welcome to TASA!

 

welcome nice collection buddy

 

Really nice fish, im coming to visit the next time i am in durbs (My home town)

 

Welcome to Tasa
Awesome looking fish

 

Hi there!

Lovely fish, some of them among my favourites there Hope the pond gets up and running soon because I'm sure your fish will enjoy it.

I see you have some pacu there - please be aware that these fish are on the South African freshwater fish blacklist, and as such I ask that you do not post any more pictures of them

Regards

 

Thanks again yeah it will, im taking my time as i want all the water/heat parameters perfect.

No problem about that, I can't seem to find colossoma bidens on that blacklist though?

thanks for info gonna look into it

 

Not the Pacu but the Piranha is.

 

All pacu are banned.

 

Thought that meant the entire Genus.. wish this info was more accessible elsewhere,Atleast there with a responisble owner, the only place they going is a big pond

and I took all of them as I know the species gets big so atleast some one who only owns a small tank won't get them..Do you want me to remove the above photo's?

 

If possible... I'm sorry the blacklist is a bit of an issue and can be a real headache to both members and moderators alike, but because it's the law we need to stick to some rules I hope you understand.

 

I understand fully..
