i just picked up a used 180g from craigslist
so exciting!!!

i have existing fish that will go in the 180g
wanted to know if i can keep any big fish with my existing fish.
these are the fish that will be in the 180
angelfish
congo tetra
redline shark
polka dot loaces
emperor loaches
candy stripe plecos
elephant nose

i am thinking about clown loaches
got any other suggestions? =D


thanks!!
 
Angelfish!!!!!!!!!!With a 180 option as yours, my opinion would be to work around the most peaceful species we have to start with, in your case it is an angelfish biotope.....Personally mixing fish from other regions would make the big tank an "oddball..."You are blessed with a big tank deal, fill it with a big deal...

For the 180, keep the anglefish and plecos swimming in it....Add 60 CArdinal Tetra, 6-8 MArlboro Discus, 6-8 Blue Discus....Add large Driftwood wrapped in Java moss....String up Vallisneria up and down the back and middle regions of the tank...........Toss in two mother Amazon plants on each sideof the tank, or place one(or two) on one side of the making an opened side for free swimmming.............
 
witha tank that big, you shuold get some more interesting fish. well, thats just what i would do. but its your tank, stock it with whatever you want. but i would put some florida gars in there!
