Hi Guys ,
My Name is Dave.
I am relatively new to fish keeping.
I have 2 fish tanks.
One with 6 High Fin Paroon Sharks (they were given to me for free and i didnt know the size they will eventually grow to , incase anyone wants to give out to me about it) , 3 Silver dollars , 1 Blood parrot , 1 Savanni cichlid and one Arowana

The other tank with 2 Angel fish , 1 Elephant fish and a Saddled Bichir Dinosaur Fish.

Any comments or questions welcome

Chat soon Hopefully

Dave

a young oscar will be fine for a while
these fantastic fish will grow big fairly fast but you will prob have the 1200ltr tank sorted by then
what filter are you using as the are very messy fish

A 1200L tank is a great idea, but for holding fish that grow to 3ft long.... I'm all for monster fish, but they should be kept in monster fish tanks. 1200L is not monster
