ANYTHING BIG , PACUS , TSN , OSCARS ANYTHING IT CANNOT SWALLOW |

if you are gonna go for the big red then you have to give it the right tankmates, no pacus they grow too big and are not attractive from above,tiger shovelnose dont keep up so you may have to add a big one later if you are buying a youngster and growing it on then oscars are ok but may get battered overnight,giraffe cats are good but again not attractive in a pond bit of a tricky one really,giant albino gourami ,peaccock bass ,dovii(one)large silver aro, how bigs the pond? |

9x6x3 deep not massive so arowanna `s would be okay also would i benefit from insulating it as its in my garage or will be when it arrives and what size heate r should i use it holds approx 700 odd gallons give or take |

Sumo you're wrong. It will hold about 900 gallons. You will need about 900 watts to heat it and this is best done using a single thermostat rather than 3 separate heater stats. |

900 watts, you having a laugh. 900 watts if it is 900 litres! |

Jake
How many 900 gallon tanks do you have and are you speaking from experiance? I've got an 8 x 4 x4 foot that's heated by 900 watts so no, I'm not having a laugh. How about you? Still laughing? |
