Any Fish Recommendation for a Newly Built 6x2.5x2 Tank???

[Paradoxa]

Hi guys,

As per subject, any fish recommendation for my newly built 6x2.5x2 tank (4x1.5x1.5 sump)?
Or what will you keep in it?

I have been out of action in fish keeping for many years due to constant shifting of homes.
Finally settled in my new place for good and have recently gotten myself a new tank.
The tank is currently quite empty (only some feeder mollies, nana plants and driftwood), cycling water for now as it just arrived over the weekend.

There are quite a good range of beautiful and interesting species of fishes readily available these day so can't really decide what to keep in it.

Any breedable fishes out there can breed in such tanks?

Will try to post some photos soon if possible

Cheers.

I personally would do bichirs, probably all upper jaws, with some cichlids such as geos and Severums, ebjd...

Oh... I do like bichirs.
Use to have a couple of them kept with Earth eater (EE) cichlids, the only problem is EE always attacking them.

PB are beautiful fishes, do they breed in captivity?

To hell with the pbass fad. Go parachromis or go home!


You may be able to get a breeding pair to coexist in there as well!

They have been bred but i cant guarantee they will. They might though.

Thanks guys for all the ideas so far. I might just get a little mix of each... PB, parachromis and bichirs
Shouldnt be much of an issue to comm young specimens.
Shall start my hunt for platinum senegal bichirs (something I really want) which is like the hardest to find in my region.
As for the others they are relative easy to find unless they are albinos. Ha~
