George is lovely.......

But he won't stop growing. He'll get 6 times a day if you let him. Need to supersize his filters.

Are you running bio filters for him or ap beds ??

Awesome looking fish now much more interesting than a few angels haha

Wish I still had my indoor tank

George is spoilt, but a really cool fish
Hoping the one eyed silver perch survives and he will be my pet. When i got the little silvers from livefish I had to put them in an aquarium inside cause it was mid winter and way to cold for them in the ap. One got caught by the big yabby in the tank and ended up with only one eye. yabby quickly got removed and one eye was still kicking when he went into the ap
rant finished

Your system is looking great as always Duff

He has
Canister filter
2 bio wheels
1 ABF
and a sump filled with bio balls

Also the sand in the bottom of the tank is zeolite. Might have to hook up a GB. The tank still reads a light green on the ammonia test. Not sure if the lock-out that was put in the tank before plays with the test.

Not getting the sump dug for the larger system as it keeps wanting to fill with water. So am working on the smaller system.

Tank is 52cm or 20in wide.

Feeding the fishies.

Catfish look cool

Some of those SP are thumpers!! Was that in the pool or somewhere else? What's the big circular thing on the left?

Its the pool. Circle thing is a 600ltr tank that floats on the surface. I've got Cod fingerlings in it.

24watt spotlight(fluro) for attracting insects to the water.

george is a murry cod? they get to be quite big in the wild, will he get that big in a tank? he is wonderful looking
