I was thinking today what would be the best Wet Pet for each size tank.

I'm thinking (LxHxD )
2x2x1 foot --- 30g
3x2x1 foot --- 45g
4x2x1 foot --- 60g
6x2x1 foot --- 90g

then
6x2x2 Larger tanks 180g
8x2x2 240g


Ok go

45g Flowerhorn
60Erythrinus Erythrinus (Red wolf fish)
90g oscar or midas
180g fahaka puffer
240g mbu puffer
But it comes down to taste in the end.

No way to keep an MBU in an 8x2x2, they grow over 30" long...

I'm surprised at the suggestion of a Flowerhorn for a 45 gallon, thought they grow about the size of a Red Devil. So that's well over a 12 inch(12-18inches maximum size) in a tank 36 1/4 x 12 5/8 x 23 3/4 that's for a fish whose very active even when compared to other cichlids so I'd figure a 75 bare minimum. So with 12 inch width in a 45 he'd be pretty cramped.

short bodied flowerhorn in 45... 180, cichlids and birchirs, catfish, maybe some clown loaches... 90, cichlids and birchirs, catfish, maybe some clown loaches... 60 gallon, blood parrots, 30 gallon, saltwater, 240 gallon cichlids and birchirs, catfish, maybe some clown loaches
 
Definitely get an Oscar in one of the tanks, I've had many wet pets but my old Oscar was my favorite by far.

Jeff rapps said he's getting a shipment of wild O's on Monday, I'm going to get one or 2 for sure.
