Sam Chicklets Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Arro on top ray on the bottom and something in the middle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nandopsis Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Although that is a nice size tank i would say a footprint of atleast 6' X 2" would be a min for a arrowana. Keep that in mind when he gets larger, if you decide to get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parachromis1 Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 yeah, maybe go with an asian aro, or a larger cichlid community. i have a 230 gallon cichlid community with a larger silver aro and its an awesome tank. rays are also cool as well. try out some peacock bass if you like larger predatory fish or go with an umbie!!!!!!!!!!! basically your possibilities are endless.

Kevin Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 How about 187 neons! JJ. How about a tropheus colony (you should be able to keep 40+ fish) Or ... a half full tank of hatchetfish so you can watch them jump. (I have heard about this, but never seen it in our fill to the top aquarium world). Or ... a pair of festae (my current big tank - lots of fun) Or ... a wall of caves and breed plecos (invest $500 in king tigers and flood the market with their offspring). Or ... some gymnogeophags (you could raise a species from Spencer Jack and sell it commercially). Or ... 60-70 dwarf rainbows (I just set up a 90 gallon for my Aunt with 20 of these in a school. Constant motion.) Or ... Growout 15-20 discus. I once saw a 230 gallon tank with 20 adult discus in it. Absolutely living art. Just some of the things that I fantasize about. Good luck with your tank. It sounds like you are more of a predator man, but I enjoyed thinking about the possibilities. Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinless Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 the festae pair idea. mine are now in a 150 display tank and i am sooo glad that was the setup selected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigA Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Oddballs. Some polypterus, knifefish, and or an mbu puffer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
