Hey Guys

So sadly my Arowana jumped out of the tank last night after I forgot to put the lid down :( sad sad panda.

So now I have an empty tank out side of some CAE's.

I am looking for Idea's

I have a 200 Gallon tank and I am looking for a large fish species that is somewhat interactive (finger chasing etc.) and moves around the tank a bunch.

Fish I had and loved were my Red Belly Piranhas which I had for almost 8 years.

The tank is a planted tank so I can't have something that will rip the plants out OR stir up the ground much.

I was thinking about Caribe Piranhas (Black Shoulder Piranha) but they are hard to find.

I did not really like the Arowana since it would always hide in the plants.

I was thinking of 2 oscars but I fear they will dig up the plants.

Anyone know how active the saber tooth barracuda's are?




Anyone have any other ideas?

I am in Canada so most fish I can get :)

You could get a tank of big burly cichlids. Or you could get a pair of dovii or umbee.
As for the saber tooth barracudas they are generally skittish and difficult to keep, I'd stay away from them if you want a finger chaser.

@ ClownKnife ... I actually tried to get geryi at one point but they were hard as hell to find... Much harder than the Caribe

@ Nabbig .. These guys look pretty cool.. Watched some Youtubes with them.. Which out of the dovii or umbee would you recommend

I like Rhoms but I hate how I can only have him in the tank and nothing else... Not even algae eaters.. and in a planted tank they help out alot
