New Tank

[syrus410]

Im bout to get a 120 gallon. What to put in it? I only like Gars, Arownans and such type fish. But what can I put in there and keep in there for a very very long time? Im completely lost because I know these fish will out grow. If I get em young how much time do I have to get a bigger tank?

don't get the 120 gallon, save for a 180 and you can keep some gars. For arrowana, look into something 10'x3'x2high.

Get a bigger tank....so no more headache of upgrading tank later on....

I tend to upgrade as I go but end up with tanks everywhere, I once was running over a 1000 gallons in tanks and the largest was only a 150g. the whole house quietly hum from filters and pumps.
Syrus, maybe consider bichirs, south american lung fish, cachorro, or top pike minnow (belisox)?

ahh the sweet sweet sound of filters and pumps
