Hey,
here's a tank of my 80gal growout:
The current stocking consists of:
2 Toxotes blythii (each 80gal)
2 Datnioides polota (145gal)
4 Nandus nandus (staying)
2 Pterophyllum scalare "Dark Lace Ghost" (Breeding pair) (staying)
3 Polypterus delhezi (145gal)
3 Erpetoitchtys calabaricus (staying)
2 Ancistrus sp. (staying)
1 Gobioides broussonetti (we'll see. Maybe a brackish tank it depends of how well it keeps doing. As soon as I see anything concerning I'll move it into a brackish tank)

Of course this stocking is not a permanent one!
All fish are juvenile (except for the angels which will stay in this tank).
As soon as most fish reach a certain size they will be moved in one of the main tanks (145gal and 120gal) while some will stay in this tank.
This odd community surprisingly works out with the juveniles better than expected.

So I am just enjoying this tank for as long as it lasts.

Good stock and scape.
 
I LOVE your stock. We have similar tastes in scaping and fish. I would just love to have some of these archers at some point. When you say "each 80" for them, what do you mean?

I'm off to see if you have threads on your other current tanks.
 
Hey,
thanks for your replies and the positive feedback!

Magpie,
I am not that active in this forum.
The reason is kind of simple: I am from Germany therefore I am active in German forums.
With "each 80gal" I mean that I will seperate them in my two 80gal tanks.
IF I am able to get some more I'll try keeping a group in the ~7ft tank.
But I'll add some pictures of my current tanks.

120g
145g
80g (2nd one)
53gal
14gal
12gal
30gal (for a single Cherax holthuisi Irianto Red)

Got a 50gal cube as breeder for angels now (served as quarantine tank for the toxotes with 20cm waterlevel I had to see what they were willing to eat. Took some time until they accepted dead food)
