I will be getting a 180 gallon tank soon and was wondering if you guys could recommend some stock. I know there are many other threads like this but this will really help me out a lot. Im not very interested in Limas for now. I would like to go with the channel cats, sun cats, bullheads... something along those lines. And just one quick question. How many sun cats could I fit in a 180 gallon tank, 6X2X2?? Thanks so much for the help

3 they get up to 10".
 
Bullheads also reach a similar size, so I'm guessing you could probably mix them in with the suncats too...
 
Alright so no channels. Any specific species of bull heads that you guys like. Right now Im thinking, my large tiger oscar, my JD, my FH and three suncats in a 180 gallon.

They aren't exactly 'mean' just deadly territorial. IT'S THEIR SPACE! NOW GET OUT! :grinno:
 
The FH is about an inch right now living with a large Tiger Oscar and a Medium sized JD. I feel like if they don't let him walk all over them now then maybe it will be good in the future. We will see though. Also if they are in a 180 then hopefully there is enough room so they dont fight
