Burek Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 You know what would be cool, Piranha!! lol Nah..Maybe you should buy a Saratoga for the tank then maybe some larger Catfish like a couple of Plecos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transistor Posted June 27, 2005 Author Share Posted June 27, 2005 lol.. that would be cool... but i would need about thirty or so!!! yeah saratogas are of interest, definately! the only concern i have is the limited tankmates i could have with it ( i will feel bad if it is lonely ) Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burek Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Oscars? Plecos? maybe some other Large Cichlids? But not anything that can fit in the saratogas mouth!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 You have got all the tank space you need. I would say tropheus, but I am biased. Wait a couple of months until frontosa's are on the list and then get some of the new variety's to fill up your tank. Or go crazy and fill it full off demasoni, electric yellow and some of the larger hap's Any thing really is possible with that much room Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Barramundi are awesome, full of character that would be my choice of a tankbuster. Or a pair of Cichla monoculus (SP?). Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosco Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 a species tank of noeon tetra's Seriously i would think a tang community would be cool with calvus/compressiceps occies, crypts, or featherfins. That is the next project that I am going to work on. but mine will be a 6x2x18 as I conviently have one in my fish room that would make a great display tank. I just need the furniture. cheers Rosco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannula Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Go Australian, Saratoga, Snake Headed Gudgeons, Sleepy Cod or some Jungle Perch, depending on how active you want the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngy_11 Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 yea go hard core Aussie river fish, Barra, sarra sleepy cod, bass, perch. My 2cents thanks youngy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trofius Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 I agree tanganyikan communty tank, expanse of sand and huge piles of rocks at either end, maybe 30-50 fish if you thought about it carefully. group feather fins sand siftrs comps or calvus julidiochomis sp maybe a small shell corner with a few shellys and 10 or so leptos cruising above huge selection of colours to choose from, and with a big tank with lots of different biotopes to view , you could watch it all day, walk around it to see all the liitlle things happening not just sit back 3m away and see 3 or 4 big fish.....

DanceswithDingoes Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 I suggest you look around for a nice colony of frontosa and breed them, reasonably easy to keep and will always pay for themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
