90g Revamp Ideas - New Stock / Setup??

[malawi500]

Here is a picture of my 90g Fluval 1200 which I have just recently set up having transferred everything over from my other tank.



My old set up had crushed coral which I have swapped out for play sand which I think looks awesome.

I currently have a Parrot Fish, Large pleco and several Mallawi's but I want to get rid of them all.

I'm not sure what to replace them with?? I want something cool/funky/unusual

The tank is filtered by a 20g sump (filter socks and biomedia) and has ~8x turnover.

What suggestions do you all have? I'd be willing to lose the rock aswell and maybe swap for pebbles taken from my local beach or maybe driftwood? So many options!!

As for stocking, what type of unusual creatures could I go for? Blue crabs? Kuhli Loaches? Maybe a puffer setup?

Give me some suggestions ;-)

Lung fish. They have that cool odd ball look.

A lot of the interesting ones that come to mind for me (arowana, fire/tiretrack eels, stingrays etc) need bigger tanks, but as for smaller fish I've had kuhli loaches for many years and they're so interesting to watch, definitely among my favourite small fish. I've heard briefly about dragon/violet gobies but really can't comment on them all that much. You could go for a brackish tank with bumblebee gobies and dwarf puffer fish? They're probably my best oddball ideas for now!

any other ideas?

what about marine setup? how easy are they?

Marines cost ALOT and require ALOT more attention. Id stay fresh. Do a fire eel and tiger oscar tank.

I forgot to say I want a communal tank not just one or two fish

I would say you could go with a senegal bichir or something of the sort, but an eel would be sweet as well and he would love the sand you have. Trying to find the right fish for your tank is half the battle
