I've just sold off all my malawi's and taken all the rock out I am now left with 2 pieces of bogwood and 4 synodontis to keep the tank cycled.

It is a 4ft 90g tank and I have a 20g sump which is filled with submerged bio rings and 1 100 micron sock returned via an Eheim 1262 900gal pump.

It will be in my front room so want something funky/unusual and something my 3yr old son will enjoy feeding/watching.

Any ideas? Open to all sorts of suggestions as the tank is basically ready for something different ideally freshwater but possibly brackish.

I'll ideally like to keep the play sand as the substrate as bare bottom doesn't do much for me it looks a bit clinical.

Not bothered on plants unless they are pretty hardy.

I've thought about puffers, discus, frontosa's, oscars, clown loach. So many options....

Ideas please....
 
Oscar or another larger cichlid would be a great wet pet. unusual.. gulper cats. color and activity discus, or a comm tank around a group of rosalines.
 
tbh of i was able to keep some of the dwarf snakehead species, ide go with them.. some of them are absolutely spectacular colored.
 
I would go with either a wet pet or a breeding pair. I'm getting some cutteri next week myself and they don't get real big. He would probably like that the wet pet is like a dog aspect or the breeding fish to raise babies. Just a thought

Hi. Maybe getting some carnivorous and active pets? I have two Columbian Catfish, which obviously get large and look a bit shark-like. They are active and love eating (live things are the most fun). I will also be getting 3 rope fish, which are awesome creatures! They are curious and peaceful, but they also have lungs along with their gills so they breach out of the water often. I like odd things... The rope fish look very close to a snake. Just throwing some ideas your way : )

Oh, and the needle nose Gar is very fun when it comes to feeding! I ended up starting an entire guppy breeding tank just to keep a supply for him! (everything I mentioned is brackish btw). Good luck with whatever you choose!!
