Need advice for aquarium glass and thickness

[Vikkram]

I've been following this thread. I saw a lot of good advice and good choices. Now that's a nice looking tank and stand. Certainly makes the room shine.

Thank you so much Drstrangelove

Your tank looks awesome, you did a great job building it. What are you planning on stocking in that big beautiful beast.

Thank you so much Jexnell. I am planning to keep below fishes:

Currently I have below fishes in 75 gallon: (4 feet tank, 75 gallon) planning to transfer this to my 240 gallon.

Tinfoil barbs x 6 (grown to 7 inches)
Blood parrot fish x 5 (grown to 5 inches)
Silver dollars x 8 (grown to 5 inches)
Bala sharks x 5 (grown to 6 - 7 inches)
Huge Common pleco x 2 (both reached 9 - 10 inches)
Black ghost knife fish x 1 (grown 9 - 10 inches)
Firemouth x 2 (grown to 3.5 inches)

Along with this, I wish to add clown loaches x 6 and Oscar x 4, will that over stock? Or can you refer any colorful fish? Kindly share your suggestions.

Clown loaches will be fine with the other fish but not the oscars they will overstock it, you will have to sell fish overtime as when everything gets bigger it will be over stocked, if I were you I would do 10-15 clown loaches, 5 Bala sharks or the silver dollars, 3 datnoids, a flag tail and the black ghost knife. You would be able to add some other fish depending on what you like, that's what I would do.

Hi Bertie, Thanks for you suggestion. Instead can i add a silver arowana with the list i said above (i know i am asking weird question, but i like it so much, only problem is will it be compatible?) for example:

Silver Arowana x 1
Tinfoil barbs x 6 (grown to 7 inches)
Blood parrot fish x 5 (grown to 5 inches)
Silver dollars x 8 (grown to 5 inches)
Bala sharks x 5 (grown to 6 - 7 inches)
Huge Common pleco x 2 (both reached 9 - 10 inches)
Black ghost knife fish x 1 (grown 9 - 10 inches)
Firemouth x 2 (grown to 3.5 inches)

Personally I wouldn't, I don't think 20" is wide enough for any arowana... Very nice tank though

Hi Hendre, thank you. Small correction, it's 24" wide. (96 x 24 x 24). Okie, I will try adding few severums and clown loaches

you can try a golden arowana but i would reduce some of the stock at the same time

An African aro or jardini would work in that tank, but not silvers or blacks
