awesome tank Matt724, why not try exodons instead?

oh, haha this isn't my tank, but I do wish I had a tank like that for my family room or something. Something people could look at and think wow. Exos are cool, but I'm really horrible with live food so they'd be left with pellets or flakes or something lol. and Stinkiray, check this out for exos: [YT]<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/vEiXbOhKlQQ&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/vEiXbOhKlQQ&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>[/YT]
 
:eek:
That is... one of the best feeding time videos ever!

So they're like mini piranhas! One thing I never liked about keeping a community of fish is that when one goes, all goes :(

But anyway, since I already have a confirmed resident, a mini pangasius, I'll probably just add one or two more fish.

I'm thinking about the dragon goby(cool fish), but it's brackish and I'm not sure if the catfish will go for that.
 
just remember, in a few years:

Oh and a recent development, I have someone who's giving me a 1.5" irisdent shark(nooo way), obviously it can still fit in the tank(for awhile.)


So... the irisdent shark is a the first official fish in the list.

again big mistake... that's even worse then putting the Oscar in... it will out grow ur tank in no time as well.

Ah whoops, I forgot to add that I'd like something that moves arounds to make the tank lively, which is the main reason I'm getting one anyway.

And aren't bichirs the stay still type?

pictus cats always move u cld do a pair of those and a senegal.
But dwarf puffers r gr8t too!!!

PUFFERS! That's interesting. There's one problem with that though, where can I find it? Elephant nose is interesting too. But the local petsmart(my only source of fish for now) doesn't have it.



BluegrassAquatics.com. is a great place to find puffers, elephant fish, african knife.
I bought my green spotted puffer at wal-mart, but I never tell anyone to buy fish there. My puffer is doing great. I have found that if you watch wal-marts stock close and buy them as soon as they get new stock. The longer wal-mart messes with them, the more chance that they will be sick. :hypnotize
