The only thing I noticed, and I don't know of all those fish, is that you might want more that one Hypancistrus zebra. I feel it's quite foolish to keep a fish alone when you have as much space as you do (if it is the 800+ UK we're talking about), these fish are really very rare in the trade and you could make a pair or a group very happy. Perhaps even to the point of fry. I am not common with scientific names of fish other than my own but I like how it looks and I would love to see how it progresses.

Cheese specialist is right, zebra plecs are a schooling species of catfish and should really be kept in a group.

Also i wouldnt recomend keeping altums with regular scalares in case of cross breeding, true altums are becoming increasingly rare and hard to find and to lose a generation to cross breeding would be terrible IMO. Also unless they have been captive bred for many generations altums are very delicate and will require you to keep the water at a pH of 6 with no or little mearsurable hardness and 0 nitrtrates, so unless you have tapwater with these readings i wouldnt advise trying to keep them in such a huge tank, i hate to think how much that would cost to fill an maintain using RO water


Also a little tip, when giving fish names try to give the common name first (if the fish has one), not everyone knows the scientific names of fish from a glance and will just ignore the post.

 

[fozzy_wozzy_woo]

ok thanks for the tips.. i will fix it all today when im at work. i will add the pictures and the common name.

 

[ryan]

Sounds good, the only fish I would mention have been mentioned so..............great to see you have some Marbled Hatchets on the way .

Good Luck

Is this just the altums?? the true breed or is this for all angel fish? I have also seen some yellow and brown angel fish. I would change the more rare ones out for hardier ones.

Oh ya and i have changed the amount of the Zebra plecos up to 5.

Please advise

 

[fozzy_wozzy_woo]

I have to add the scientific name as i live in the netherlands and the common name is different per country you go to.

For example the Tetra is known as a salmon???

 

[ryan]

Altums and Pterophyllum scalare are different varities that both excist in the wild. The Altums tend to grow alot larger from top to bottom and are also more senesitive to water conditions. However, they are both Angels and therefore can and do cross breed. CFC is worried that by placing the expensive and rare Altums with the Pterophyllum scalare you will get cross breeds therefore lowering the number of true Altums left.

 

[fozzy_wozzy_woo]

Are Altums rare because they dont like breeding or because their natural enviroment is being destroyed my Us?

I won't go for any Very rare fish as it is unfare to the eco system.

 

[ryan]

They are not overly rare, it is just they are wild caught unlike the captive breed Pterophyllum scalare so they are less commonly seen and are more expensive.

 

[guppybaby]

i am sorry if I sound silly but how big of a tank in gallons is this going to be? It sounds really cool and it seems like you have a big variety of fish. Will you please post pics as soon as you get it setup? Good luck

 

[fozzy_wozzy_woo]

With the Measurments im working on.

it will work out to be around 4600L which is around (USA 1215.32) (Can/UK 1011.85) Gallons. but once I Make the inside with molded walls, caves, cliffs, ledges and stuff it should be around 4200L. (USA 1109.64 UK/CAN 923.87 Gallons).

I can geive an accurate mesurment at the moment as the design changes every day due to building materials and space.

 

[fozzy_wozzy_woo]

I have now added my shrimp and crabs....

 

[guppybaby]

you mean to tell me that tank is going to be around 1100 gallons? How long is it taking you to build? Show me pics.

 

[fozzy_wozzy_woo]

well im just getting all the stuff in now.

I have been given a Water pump and i have the price for the glas to be made for me.
I am still waiting on the price for the metal frame i have designed. If it costs to much im going to weld the frame my self and order the metal throught the local shop. This is where i am publishing it. Large tanks Building
