how big is your red tail catfish? I know they can get pretty big. I saw one at Fish Pro the other day.

12/11/2005 1:01:59 PM

Redtail cat is 20-22 in I was in there Saturday. Didnt see it. If I can find a tank big enough I may get a pair of them to grow big enough to put into the big tank with the other one. Its hard to find any tankmates big enough to keep with it. 16in Arowana ended up being a snack. I have an 10in oscar in there now but I want to get rid of it for something more interesting.

12/11/2005 2:41:10 PM

How big was the one @ fish pros?

12/11/2005 2:41:45 PM

the one at fish pro I saw about 1-2 month ago. It was about 12 inch I think.

12/11/2005 3:42:16 PM

Oscar now in the mouth of the catfish

12/23/2005 7:03:13 PM

12/23/2005 7:14:43 PM

12/24/2005 11:15:03 AM

still looking for a tank

1/1/2006 1:10:35 PM

Im also looking for a 55gallon tank or larger. Let me know. Thanks

1/1/2006 2:01:19 PM

my parents are looking to get rid of a 100 gallon tank, its in wilmington though

1/1/2006 11:49:31 PM

^Im interested. Let me know how much they want for it and if they have a stand too.

1/2/2006 11:10:34 AM

yeah i saw a redtail at fish pros it was a baby. would be cool if they stayed small for my 20 gallon. ill just have to stick with my striped raphael. although he's getting big now!

1/2/2006 12:29:35 PM

^that was the small one you saw. It was sold to two guys when I was there last week. The one I was talking about earlier is huge. It was in one of the big tanks they put behind the cash register.

1/2/2006 12:40:02 PM

i wish i had the space for a big fish

1/2/2006 5:26:29 PM

theres a reptile show in columbia, sc this weekend, and they should have tons of tanks to choose from. for tanks used as terraria (which basically have thinner glass), they usually go about $1/gal, not sure how much the thicker-glassed ones go for, but its a helluva lot cheaper than buying a tank at a pet store.

i know im going.

I don't think reptile tank is suitable to be used as aquarium.

1/2/2006 9:11:27 PM

Yeah Its not worth the risk to get a "thin" tank.

just out of curiousity, when you get to the big fish tanks (200 gal +), do you have to worry about where you locate them in the house in terms of structural integrity?

1/16/2006 10:22:22 AM

Yes, I estimate that my 265 gallon weighs aprox 4000 lbs on a footprint of 2ft X 7ft. I was told it is nessary to place the tank perpendicular to the floor joists and preferably in a corner. Luckly for me the addition to my house was built with 2 X10's on 16" centers. I set the tank in place empty and checked for plumb. Filled and rechecked no movement was measured. Worst come to worst you can always reinforce from the under your house.

1/16/2006 2:14:42 PM

I would assume that the tank that big probably be best put at the bottom floor of the house.

1/16/2006 2:29:09 PM

Yeah it would be a good idea, also if you were to ever have a leak you wouldnt have ceiling damage. I think you would have a hell of a time getting up any amount of stairs. My tank empty was aprox 600 lbs. I suppose if you really wanted a large tank on a second or third story then you could consult a contractor to verify the structure is sound.

LOL, my ultimate goal is to have a 200+ gallon planted display tank with either discus or angel fish or both.

1/16/2006 4:12:22 PM

A 265 empty is no where close to 600lbs.

I installed a 360g in Marion Jones's (yes the track star) house, and me and my roommate (both managers at the time) handled it no problem up a flight of porch stairs and into a wall...

1/25/2006 3:31:55 AM

Took 5 guys to get mine in. I guess your just my new hero

1/25/2006 7:15:37 AM

acrylic and glass have a big weight difference. Im sure marion could afford the lighter acrylic.

1/31/2006 10:22:38 PM

acrylic is actually cheaper than glass if you get a tank that big.

1/31/2006 11:36:57 PM

Im open to an acrylic tank. Just needs to be priced right

2/1/2006 7:10:20 AM

I got a 125 glass aquarium and stand for sale. I am being forced to move for my job and cant take it with me. I do currently have it set up as freshwater tank. I am open to offers. If you want a picture or something pm me your email.
