Does anyone have monster alternative tanks?

[Bluesandtwo]

In my 6 foot SA I used to have...

Pink tail chalceus instead of a silver aro
Hypsauchen silver dollars in stead of red hooks
Acara instead of a Oscar
Pim pictus cats instead of tiger shovel nose / red tail cats

Loved that tank but will one day have the true monsters in a 10 foot!

Exodons instead of African tiger fish

African tiger pike instead of African tiger fish as well

The PTC is a good alternative to an aro, I think a striped Rafael is a good alternative to a RTC too
Great looking tanks

I guess my smalls tank is an example of this.
Nanolutae instead of Midas
Bleeding Heart tetras instead of Red Hooks
Cory's instead of Ornatus
Bushynose pleco instead of Panaque
PTC instead of Aro

Those Nanolutae kinda look like multispinosa, very cool, I think multispinosa are good instead of trimacs, dig the tank!!!

This"wild type" mouth brooding Betta albimarginata from Borneo.
It maxes out at under 3".

Close up, quite the imposing mini-predator
From a tad farther off, also beautiful

Nice!!! Looks like it could be an alternative to snakeheads or wolf fish

A shoal of Exodon Paradoxus instead of a shoal of Red Belly Pirahna!

I used to have a neon goby. It both looked and acted like a small remora.
