Wow, amazing. It’s like a real underwater environment. I love that look! The fish are so big, it must be fun watching them swim around in there so happily. Great work. Kudos to you.

Thanks for your kind words....It is great to see the fish swimming around.....I tend to watch the tank as much as I watch tv..... here is my first attempt at making a video...I am also holding a pair of pike cichlids in the tank until their 90 gallon is ready

wow, I'm surprised that big guy hasn't tried to eat the other fish or crayfish. Great tank, thanks for sharing that video!

thanks......the rusty crayfish are the only ones I have been able to keep in this tank...I think it has something to do with the fact that they are more aggressive than any other crayfish I have kept....and that their exoskeleton is much harder.....everyone gets along pretty well....provided they stay out of the green sunfish area....

Very cool tank. I used to keep a couple rock bass in a tank about that size. They were awesome. Expensive to keep fed though, they only wanted live foods. I have wanted a gill tank for ages just dont have the room right now.

You are right about those rustys. They are vicious. They have become a real nuisance species in many areas where they were illegally introduced.
