i have a 5ft tank and a 4ft tank but they have nouthing in . so if not they can go in there but tell me what u guys think and when it is all finshed i will put pictures up im thinking a 6-8 months on this tank so it will be a long wait for pictures but i have keped meany large fish in the past but i fancey easy fish to keep for once . any other fish you think i could keep that would not go crazy in there and stops around 1ft max (ino the eels get big) and eat every thing is not a good idea i just wanna have a real looking tank not like the silly ones with fake plants but like your looking in to the amazon i also like watching the arapimagigas in the wild there amazing fish and get big aswell its where they belong i dident realise johnPTC had one i though it was some sort of arowana in his display picture i gess i was wrong !. but any thing eles that you guys think could live in there to make it look real the is 1 Fx5 on there and i will add more aswell but this meay diffrent fihs dont make much mess at all but it saves cleaning it out alot lol . so any thing that i could add aslong as its not over the £40 mark im not bothered (thats £40 max for 1 fish).
cheers
 
Looks to me that a lot of research is needed on your part.
 
not if you intend to keep small fish in there. When you say silver sharks, what species do you mean?
 
oh and there will be a sucking loach and a bummble bee catfish aswell not the common bummble bee catfish though !

which bumblebee catfish is it? by common you mean the South American species Microglanis iheringior one of the Asian species?
 
Sounds pretty crowded, even for 180g. I also don't see that mix of fish as looking very natural, or like "looking into the amazon". Asia, mixed with austrailia, mixed with south american, mixed with natives.

The list now makes some sense.
