Great fish and grow to a beautiful size, shame about that why not ask them.

Mine look absolutely great against the back of the tank. The way they stand out is phenomenal.

if you have a good LFs that you go in often, then they will usually order or get on next fish run for you.

don't expect it pets at home though

If you're lucky they'll do you a deal on their dead fish, just for you!

Another one

Can never get my head around the "Stocking ideas for 140 gallon tank"

give the tank measurements, you tank could be 6 foot long by 4 foot wide and 2 inch high (not sure on the water amount on that)

kind of rubbish for discus but prob great for Khuli loaches

Speaking of giant tanks, I've always seen having a 150-200+ gallon setup only to have one big fish as a total waste, especially if it's something like an arowana that only inhabits one layer of the water column.

So much potential for any variable number of combinations, the sky's the limit, and it's all taken up by a singular entity that doesn't even utilize half the space provided. Not to mention the setup itself doesn't even look that nice to the eyes because such fish are usually best kept in a completely bare tank.

But to each their own I guess...

I can understand it if you're really taken by a fish that needs solitude or maximum space or whatever, but when it's their only tank; they paid >£200 for it and their only fish is an oscar I begin to seethe.

best thing about oscars, is that they will just re-arrange the carefully thought out tank

Actually... Unpopular opinion? I don't like oscars! They kind of scare me, and my dad loves them. Can't see the appeal.
But... That being said, my fan shrimp scares me too.

Actually they will order fish, they have a list of what they can get and don't display everything.

Tell me about it, once we got two guinea pigs from there, wound up with two stinky rats that beg for food every two minutes. Wait, no, that is a guinea pig after all...

They smell just as bad and lay in their filth all the same. The only difference between them is that my overgrown rat boys have little potato bodies and start wheeking at us whenever presented with a packet of runner beans...
