tank busters

Hey guys and gals,who has fish of the above nature.........synspillium,black belts,midas,red devils,flower horns,temporalis,peacock cichlids,etc or any large fish for that matter

 

well some of those are illegal here.....

 

i have a frontosa and oscar, they are quite large, i'm interested to know just where exactly this post is going!!!

 

I think he's trying to find out if anyone else has a big enough tank to house them so he can move his out

Just joking. I used to keep oscars, right now keeping a Frontosa male.

And unfortunately, Henk is right - all the best ones on that are illegal here.

 

ooh nice, so lets turn it around...

Which tank busters ARE legal in SA?

 

yeah SA, i still got my eye on that Front of yours...would you mind putting some pics possibly...

 

Giant gourami

Yes, I have a Giant Gourami............. Does that count?

 

yip, thats grows to be just over a foot if i'm not mistaken...but if you really want a tank buster then the hi-fin pangasius is the winner in my book...the bala shark grows to about half a meter, another tank buster i would presume...

 

Giant Gourami

Giant Gourami's grow to about 60cm or more and can weight up to 33kg in the wild.

 

guess i was mistaken then...33kg hey, thats one heavy fish...

 

there's a couple guys with arowanas,those are one of my favourite xl fish

 

If I had a 2000l tank i would have liked to have a redtail catfish

 

Franna you mean a 200 000L pond....

 

Oh yes. the 2000l was a typo :damnmate:

 

arapaima gigas. legal when you have CITES permits for it...

 

pic of arapaima gigas, this is a beauty...

 

Are they the ones that they found in a remote part of the Amazon that had grown to over 3 metres?? Legend has it that one was over 6 metres in length!! I'm sure it was the arapaima?? If not it was something with a very similar name!!

Cheers
G!

 

Well the largest fish that I had was a 75cm tiger shovelnose,but for now I am actually looking for some synspillium...and the price for an arapaima the last time I checked was $1000.00 for apprx 15cm with certs and microchip

 

did you check with the intent of buying fishcrazy? how big of a tank do you have?
