I'm making plaintive steps towards getting back into the game!
The last year has been a horrible year for me. Divorced, bankrupt, dog died, lost my truck, sold my guns, etc. Basically, my life's been a country song. LMAO
Anyway, Things are starting to stabilize for me. I've got a place, I've got money coming in, and most importantly, I've got my son!
Now that the important things are taken care of, I'm really tempted to take my good old 150 that I have in the shed and set it up. Unfortunately though, that is the absolute largest tank that I have the means to house right now.
I'd like some ideas and input on what to do. I really don't want to do a specimen tank, gotta get that out of the way right up front. Anyone who's been around for a while knows that I have a taste in very large fish that require a lot of space, so most of the 'monsters' are out for me. That being said, I'm thinking about going with 6-8 clown loaches, a pair of imperial loachs, a red tail black shark (don't judge me! LOL) and a trio of pictus.
The problem is, all of those are bottom dwellers lol. I really don't know what to do with the middle and top layers. I'd kind of like to have fish that have movement and color and who will sort of play nice. I'm thinking maybe SD's? A buttload of danios at the top? Maybe a tatauaia as a centerpiece? Lots of movement and some color is important as my little dude would like the tank better that way.
Tell me what you'd do! Thanks guys!
