predatorpassions collection as of now...

[predatorpassion]

well this is what I have "collected" as of now...

I have a 36 gal. freshwater tank containg a erythrinus erythrinus
aka red high-fin wolffish... the only known wolffish that will shoal...

there are 3 genera of wolffish (erythrinus,hoplias,hoplerythrinus)
they range from the 8" red high fin to the 5ft. (I believe it is 5ft maybe 4 or 3ft.) hoplias aimara wolffish....here are pics....

these are pics from when I first got him.....he is real bold...always begs and never stops moving... only wolffish that I have heard of that loves to eat flake food.......
here are pics of other sp. of wolffish from the internet

well it is a long post so far...but our other tank (well we decided that I will have 36 & 220 and cody will get the 180 & 75)

[predatorpassion]

here are the pics of the 220

the 220 is a barebottom with the outside painted black.... I am unsure what I want to put in it but I really would like an arowana (either Osteoglossum bicirrhossum or Osteoglossum ferreirai )
I would love either a clown or royal knifefish... but I am wanting a serious oddball tank of fish you don't find everyday...(I am spending my own money on this project and have earned near 400$ so far) well I would love to see some "sheatfish" sp. in there like wallago,ompok, (siluro sp... are really to big... this family includes the 16ft. wels catfish) but I don't have a definate answer of what I want to put in it... I would actually like to haves some chaca chaca in there to....

here are pics of the tank
here is the desired lighting effect

(the tops broke and we are getting glass cut for the tops... and the water needs to be topped off, and the bottom needs to be cleaned off a little bit)

Fresh water is cool as well as salt.I just got back into fresh as well.I got a 44 gallon tank with some blue rams and there are eggs everywhere.
