This is monster fishkeepers and everyone is keeping monster size fish but who here has a monster community style tank. I am wondering who has the biggest fish tank that they keep community style fish in, and who has biggest community of fish (number of fish)
 
By community do you mean with rainbows, gouramis, tetras and so on. If so I'm out, I only own 1 gourami, the rest are various catfish and cichlids, 6 clown loaches and a BGK.

In my community each member tries to kill each other and steal land, like rival gangs, Cichlid communities are the best.
 
I seen a thread not to long ago of a 300 gallon planted tank with "community" fish. It was sweet.
 
I have a 150 Gallon community aquarium, 10 Discus, 6 angels, 4 clown loaches, 30 cardinal tetras, a couple of German Blue rams, 6 Albino Cory's and a Gold Nugget Pleco. It is all live plants and the tank is built into the family room wall, has continuous drip RO water system with overflow, 3 Fluval 405 filters and undergravel filters with power 2 heads. It has been setup like this for 4 years and I feel like I don't keep fish anymore, because the maintenance is almost nothing, other than vacuming grave twice a year and wiping the glass with a magnetic cleaner.

I keep reading about these huge homeade tanks on this site and my dream and plan is to build a tank big enough that my Discus will someday escort a family out from a quiet driftwood filled area in the aquarium.
