Me. I love the way they look like elephants, and the way they interact with each other. The only thing I don't like about them is that you need a 15x5x5 tank to keep a group - same size as a koi pond!

To right however lets be honest i think we all agree that we would rather keep a group of under water elephants then underwater cows

But what about the Red Tail Giant Gourami...doesnt that only get to 50 cm??? Thank you for the pic love it!..how old is he?

The giant gourami can grow over 2ft long I have an albino that size now and in a 7x2 will have little room to swim although your tank is a good size some of the fish are unsuitable the eel,nile bichir etc. Also angelfish are delicate so you want to be careful with more aggressive fish, the list below is an alternative option so you can stock it with more fish and get the same feel as a monster predator tank
Kissing gourami/snakeskin gourami (instead of the giant gourami)
Striped pike characin 20-30cm
(Instead of the gar)
Delhezi bichir 35cm
Senegal bichir 30cm
Ropefish 40cm
(Instead of the fire eel)
Silver dollars (red hooks,widebar,normal or spotted) as a vegetarian piranhas thing
Severums
Clown loaches (a group of 5 would look good)
Then the Synodontis try hunting down an Angelicus Synodontis one of the prettiest
Hope it helps

First of all i wanna say thank you for all your help and advice
Yeh i realised the stock list was abit ..urm messy but i yeh i agree on the bichirs...i think i will just keep to my senagal bichir i got now..but why wouldnt the fire eel work?

1 blue acara
1 firemouth
2 rainbow cichlid/mating pair

1 festive
1 bolivan ram...(i know he will get eaten)
5 massive columbian red fin tetra
2 bristlenose plecos..(1 albino 1 norm)
1 sengal bichir
1 catfish of some sort (syno)
So all these have to be moved into the new 210 gal but these are the fish i want to add
3-4 rocket gar
1 male electric blue jack dempsey

Because you have angelfish the cichlids when mature would simply kill or try to eat the angelfish and tetras especially an Oscar,red tail giant gourami can still reach 24 inches plus and in my experience are more aggressive of the aquarium isn't big enough and a fire eel can quite easily grow to a metre and at that size are very thick bodied your tank would last a fire eel up to about 30 inches 3ven then it would be tight have you thought about tyre track eels they stay slightly smaller at around 60cm

She is 17years old she may be a bit bigger than 22inches I haven't measured her in a while
