1500G stocking

[TexasMFK31]

I was dreaming, like I'm sure we all do. If you had a tank that was 12'x5'x3.5' (~1500G) what are you stocking it with? A single of the monsters (Umbee, Dovii, Jags, etc.) Or you doing a lot of the smaller New World's? Let's a dream together, post how you'd stock.

A male and female convict and then see how long before it’s overstocked

whale shark

 

[Cichlidfever]

2 Ornatum, 1 male Escondido, 2 female Festae, 2 Stalsbergi, 1 male Zonatum, 1 male Chancho, and 6 Intermediums,

 

[twentyleagues]

A million Candiru. Then toss my enemys in....muhhahamuhaha.

 

[Backfromthedead]

A couple dozen oscars and a sailfin pim or two.

 

[TheFishDodo]

Probably a pair of umbee or a massive biotope of small fish and geophagus but another idea if Africans are not out of the question a big school of frontosa or put in 10 multies with thousands of shells and just wait.

In all seriousness, If I had 1500 gallons to work with, I would turn it into a huge community tank of South American species not only cichlids. I would try to re-create what it would look like at the bottom of a flowing river. The possibilities are endless.

I'm so used to having small tanks that as soon as I can afford 200+ gallons this is what Im going to do.
