2GuysSign 4 Posted January 25, 2009 I am looking into a used 55gal starter fish tank... I want this to be the start of my fish experiences... I have been looking up some of the fish i want in the tank, two of which are a Clown Knife and a Silver Arowana... These two fish are what i've always wanted. I know im gonna need a 10gal feeder fish tank, which i have. I know the Arowana can grow to 22" and i've seen a Big clown knife. Here are some videos of the large Arowana and Clown Knife! 22" Silver Arowana Feeding http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=5gQiRdh9Sac&feature=PlayList&p=22BEDCE778352A00&playnext=1&index=2 Silver Arowana http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=x5da2OySfew Clown Knife Feeding on Gold Fish http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=hSdTxdruWtU Clown Knife as big as a CAT! http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=u1wE93cA8uA There was a vid of a Silver Arowana Feeding on a baby duckling, but that was a little to much for me...

dustinjtrr 0 Posted January 28, 2009 http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/ is a great site if you like large fish. if you are an aquarium enthusiast at all i would suggest stopping by there. you can see some of the insane custom aquariums some of those guys have put together a few of which are over 10,000 gallons.

Fbomb 0 Posted January 29, 2009 55g might be too small for one of those bad boys... I had a Red Tiger Oscar like the one in the first vid, he would jump out of the water for food! Nasty little F'er!!! He recently died of HIH. :'( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cohesion 0 Posted January 29, 2009 Well you can make up some kind of background for your tank... I"m sure you could do something cool on the outside. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sooo Cute and still a baby! Teeth were like 1/4 inch tho... that barracuda would get gigantic. we used to go fishing in florida during the kingfish migration and would catch barracuda easily 3 feet long.
