Well...when I joined I made a thread about a 200gallon bc I thought that's what I was told I was getting.

During dinner I brought it up, and apparently my dad just meant a 200gallon could fit easy. What he's actually going to stick in my room is a 400 - 405gallon 96x24x48 I'm assuming.

So now idk what to put in it.

I like clown loaches, I like most pecos, I like lima shovel nose cats, false tigrinus cats, tiger shovel nose cats, sliver arowana's, banded leporinus. I mean, you know I think fish for a 50 gallon would look wonderful in it but I've always dreamed of having a 400 and I guess someone listened. But It seems a shame to waste on 6 and 9inch fishes. I kinda want something that just strikes questions and is descent sized. I have no ideas what ill put in it. But I'm up for ideas and combinations? Please and thank you! Oh thank you all for your comments on my last thread! I appreicate it! :)

Click to expand...

What type of questions are you wanting people to ask? When I see a big fish in a tank, my first question is "when are you getting a bigger tank?" I've learned that people typically don't like it when you ask that question...for some reason they get really defensive and upset :confused:

If you go with fish that stay under say 16", the fish will be healthier and the hobby more enjoyable. Just because you have a larger tank doesn't mean you have to or should keep huge fish.

Just my 2 cents.
