This isnt happening any time soon (in 18 months or there about) but i am going to build a 8x4x3 and i have started growing out some of the fish that will be going into it ( fire eel and royal ck)

4x royal clown knives
4x asian aros
12x tinfoil barbs
12x clown loach
1x fire eel
1x tire track eel
1x python eel

you will end up with the arrows fighting even in that sized tank

ive seen asians kept in smaller tanks with no aggresion issues

Are you going to start w/big CL's, 4-5"ers?

Ive got a some in a 5x2x2 at the moment which are around 6" but i can get bigger ones upto 14" they just cost a fortune.

Thanks. I still think there will be agression issues, my friend had 2 gradeA bueties in a 10' by 4' by 4' with rays and one killed the other and then the survivor died of its wounds despite treatment a few weeks later. He was pretty gutted!

By having more in the tank it can reduce aggresion on one fish also it depends on the fish some pull it off some dont.

ADD SOME BIG CICHLA!!!!!!
