in a house
I'm having 3 of these built to fit my rack in my room and I was just curious as to what would be a good fish to put in there. I will have about 30 removable dividers ( made of acrylic ) on the top shelf I will have flower horn fry seperated out and select a few to keep and the rest will be sold. will also have a growout space for about 20-30 baby dats. But other than That I cant decide, its mostly because I dont know what could live in one of these tanks for life. I was thinking maybe a mbu for the bottom display but I cant decide. any and all suggestions would be very appreciated.
 
how about a parachromis.......mang., mota., freddy., losellie.,or dovii:popcorn:
 
I have a red tiger mota who is full grown hes in my 360, along with a lima whos 15"

A payra would be cool, but I dont know alot about them ( and I dont like feeding live food that often)
 
mbus get much too big for those tanks, but how about a fahaka?
 
Jardini...maybe a bit small but a good grow out. Millions of options but if I had a tank like that I would do about 7 pickerel. Do like 4 grass and three redfin :) .

jardini = illegal. I've emailed a couple people about permits but the chances of me getting one are slim to none.

the top tank for sure will be divided, and be for growouts and fry.

but 2 more tanks and im empty minded.
 
Cough*natives*cough

I think that you can get the Red-Tails off of live food, but I'm not sure. They grow to a max of 24" but 18" more likely and PM KRswop1 because he gave me all of the info I know. What about a Fire Eel, Endi Bichir, Ornate Bichir? How about a huge Amazon community with a bunch of Hatchets, Tetras, etc?
 
Truth be told, none of the natives in florida intrest me. exsept Pbass of course :)

If i cant think of anything I might have to trun to the dark sight.
