LAJC2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Well I have now settled in to my new home and business up here in Cairns and have just finished building my new display centre, I now want a display tank to be the centre feature. I have been throwing ideas around of a 6x3 ray tank or something of exotic nature. I need the wow factor for when clients come in. I am looking for more ideas from you guys. I can fit a maximum tank of about 6x3. Chuck some ideas my way.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuffy_rana Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 really why is that?? there are a great many spp. on the cards to go noxious in the not too distant future due to concerns about them doing well in the aussie environment. red devils,petenia splendida and umbies are on there aswell as........ peacock bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matmatmat Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) Jelly and two strippers? ....just an idea, eye catching although it may be distracting for the male staff?

LAJC2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 i spoke to danialle stewart at the dpi 132523 and she says the Potamotrygon motoro and potamotrygon leopoldi is not on the upcoming list who did you speak to keegan013 or do you have a link i can look up I actually thought the Motoro and the Leopoldi where the only 2 that you were allowed anyways. With all this discussion on Rays, I think im leaning towards doing a ray tank now lol What tank mates are suitable for the mid/upper section of the tank that will co-exist with Rays?

LAJC2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 mmmm Arowana would be very nice. Always wanted one.
