But ya gotta start somewhere. I've been keeping fish for many years,
but the last year and half gotten really big. Over 100 tanks going,
and a number of 'ponds' for stingrays. I only have 1 arowana the
present time, but I'm working on getting some more fairly soon.

I WILL be getting a giant arro tank, you can bet on that, but I'm not getting
rid of the others either :D Yes, I really am waaaay over the edge. Its a job
in itself maintaining everything, but I set things up to make my life easier.
I totally way overfilter everything so I'm not having to do as many water
changes. Our water here is so good I barely have to add anything, its just
right out of the tap for the most part. Its work, theres no doubt about it,
but I enjoy it.Besides, half of my fish are smarter than alot of the people
I know....now who should I want to spend time with? :rolleyes:

Welcome Kootenayrays! I think your ray knowledge is going to be a HUGE benefit for many people on this forum!
 
Welcome Kootenayrays, and don't worry your not the only aro noob here:D at least you own one, I am not even that far yet. Hopefully soon though

Are you breeding the rays? If so, I might be a potential buyer...Let's be friends.

Wow over a 100 tanks? I am sure you've got some big thing going on there aren't ya?

Yup and it just seems to get bigger. Every week is at least one new
tank, pond or fish project. Fortuneately I have a partner who not only
tolerates them but likes to actually help out, and help FUND everything:D
I do, however, need to start actually selling some extra fish pretty
quick though.

I would even call them hardier. I remember when I was young and did not know a thing (I mean I'm still young but...). I used to keep a silver in a 33gallons and do water change once a year. But still the fish would not die.

He said his filter system is overkill, so the way he doesn't need to do WC is totally not the same story as yours silver in 33 gallons
100 tanks, you are a big guy over there. Congratulations.
