Very true about your comments with the filters. Also with reguards to the smell, if its a coffee table style fish tank, then it would be bad because if we sit coffee or soda or food on top of the table, its going to be hard to eat when the tank right below you smell like crap, lol.

In reguards to my co workers, i own the company so if they dont like it, tough

I always owned oscars so i just want something different unique and aggressive. I know they sell baby sharks, but these are of a differnt family than the great white or anything spectacular. In my honest opinon they look like little catfish to me.

have you heard of a Dragon Fish before? Arowana is what its called in english. They come in red, gold, silver, etc. it looks like an eel (but no electricity) its a very rare and almost extinct fish and the chinese love them. its a symbol for good luck in chinese culture. They very hard to find though, if someone knows where i can get one, let me know.

Out of curiosity, why did you give up tropicals?
