62g stocking

[latshki]

well for christmas I am getting a 62g tank that is 48x24x12
I defo want some more ropefish so the stock would go around that
but if I find a better deal on a bigger tank I will go for it but until then it will be that

go with ropefish along with Ctenopoma and African butterfly just to keep the whole African theme

^that sounds good
and could I throw some congo tetras in there?

if the 12" is the width it sort of limits you with larger fish, however if the width is 24" you got some better options,
which is it?

 

[latshki]

I think it is 12 wide as it looks very long rather than stocky

Oh wow ropefish are something not many keep they are neat . Read big escape artists

ok well i only ask cause things like oscar or other large cichlid cant go in a 12" wide tank or they will find it hard to turn round. needs to be 18"wide at least.
but thats fine, you wasnt planning on cichlids was you?
i have a 55g comunity of semi aggressive larger fish, its very interesting you could try something like that? have a mix of different fish

well I realy like the african idea and I want the ropefish as I got one at discount by a buddy at the lfs and he is the best fish I have ever had and am looking to get a few more
so now Ill start looking up on african biotopes
