Moving Monster Fish into the 4500 Gallon Xingu River Aquarium & 3 Big DIY Projects Begin!
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
Episode 107 is a big one! All the Monster Fish from the 3000 Gallon Amazon Aquarium get moved over to the new 4500 gallon Xingu River Aquarium. The 3000 gallon now starts the transformation into the new Predator Bay 3000 marine predator aquarium....oh and I start building 2 x 1500 gallon DIY builds in the Fish Basement Annex!

It would be cool to try a large school (100+) of something like zebra danios or rummy nose tetras. Something small and fast enough to not be worth chasing for the big fish. Like how King of DIY has bleeding heart tetras with his piranhas. Just to get some movement in there.
