Hi,

I first started with id sharks. Because i love sharks and i wanted real monster fish. I know i am going to need a 10-12 feet tank and i am well on my way. It's just a 6 feet thank right now but even so.

It's just that lately i find that my tank is really missing color. I cant have no live plants even the plastic ones i must keep to a bare minimum because they keep on moving the decorations around. They make a mess out of the tank like true monster should :ROFL:

The tank is in the entrance and the sharks are just all black. Like i would like something more colorful. Like a full planted tank with about 1000 neon tetra. Or maybe a couple of cichlids. Just one big oscar like a blueberry oscar. I planted tank with some catfish. I know this is no longer monster fish but colorful. I always loved freshwater planted tank. I do still like my sharks thought. I think a tank full of freshwater angel and planted would do the job as well. I don'T know :-)
 
you want color? look at parachromis (motas, jags, loiselli, freddys). it is costly, but asian aros look great, as well as stingrays. blueberry oscars are just died oscars. the color will fade. geophagus look great, as do datnioids, bichirs, bocourti, pearsei, mbuna, peacocks, pbass...it's a huge list
 
Lots of fish to choose from. Have you considered discus with some rose line sharks?
 
Big list... try to narrow it down, IE cichlids, community, cats, planted, etc.
