Ever see a fish at an LFS you immediately fall in love with?
Someday….

I tried for a long time to get these three fishes. Was not able to keep the Potters Leopard to live for more than a few days. The other two did really great in my tank.

The top fish is a Diamond tail flasher?

Those get fairly big but they are tougher than nails for survival. Get a big tank/pond and a massive filtration especially to remove chunks of uneaten food and a shovelnosed guitar fish are an easy fish outside of the size and filtration needs. One of the lfs in Huntington Beach CA has a pond with them in it.

Build the tank first and these are easy to catch from the shoreline. Same goes for Leopard shark which is also easy to keep.

Not to mention bat and stingrays, temperate 72F.

Leopard sharks may be the prettiest of the sharks! Was at an aquarium that had them and arapaima and couldn't decide which was prettier and arapaima have been my favorite fish for a while.

Thanks for the advice that's very cool. I may be the crazy person who's thinking of going for a fiberglass "tank" someday.

Why is the Zebra pacing a little?
He is chasing the wrought iron, I have him separated by acrylic splitter and trying to sell re-home at the moment. He is too aggressive towards two of my fish.

I wish I could turn my single zebra tang into a pair with yours. Mines just the opposite temperament has never chased anyone. What temp are you keeping your tank at? I was thinking of getting a small wrought iron if they ever come around. Just didn’t know if I could get my water cold enough without a chiller.
