what happened to the fish on the wall did not make it? so you put it there to remind the other to behave? lol

Hahaha yes, he’s a reminder that they need to be on their best behavior! I wish he faced the tank!

Fish on the wall = "Let THIS be a lesson to you, to all swim right!!"

Exactly!

What do you call the puffer, the LONG school bus, LOL!!! Video was great.

on a more serious note. if you where to start a laarge fish only again what would you do different if any thing? go bigger or smaller, front access not in wall, different lighting.

I have a unfished basement now that the main floor is just about finished with the reno being looking at it think of a media room with large fish only down there. so I am collecting all the "wish I would haves" from other larger tank keepers.

OK OK here is a new video. Sorry it's not the best quality (change to 1080P in settings) it is cloudy because I had to clean the glass and I fed the fish just before. They're filthy eaters...

Loved the video! Awesome looking fish you have. Out of your gang, who's your favorite?

Honestly, I am happy with the outcome. I could always use a larger tank, but I am happy with what I did. I guess perhaps more thought around the trim on the front of the tank? Though I am happy with the result.

It’s so hard to choose, but probably the golden puffer

What a great tank! Marvelous. One could just sit there and watch the fish for long moments.

How is your tank coming along? Haven’t seen an update in awhile really like your fish choices.

Hello,

It's going well! Fish are happy and healthy -- I have been so swamped with work I haven't posted any updates. Other than the fact that my fish are getting enormous, there's little to report other than the additional of an Aussie Harlequin Tusk! I am waiting on @tsmaquatics to let me know some of my order list are ready so I can stock it more!

Thanks for asking!
