snoopy Fingerling Posts: 28 Kudos: 8 Votes: 0 Registered: 26-Jun-2004	I did have 2 silver perch, (only got 1 left now, the other 1 got eaten by the cray), and I have been told that yellow belly arnt good community fish, this true? Had 2 spiny crays as well, 1 got eaten by the coz ( not suprised) and the other ate the perch, so he is outta that tank now! My ideal tanks set-ups are the 3' tropical tank I have at the moment, the 4' cold water tank (victorian species tank), and I want a tank for a barra, and of course a new tank for the coz when he gets a bit bigger.

Euastacus cray? (spiny cray, would have to rehome the C destructor) Tandanus catfish? Saratoga? Archerfish?

But seriously, why try an keep theses HUGE fish when there are so many other tropicals that are more suited to life in a tank? There are just certain fish that do not belong in aquariums. The Barramundi is one of them. They just get way to big for just about any tank you can hope to afford.
