How Would You Stock a 4300 Gallon Tank?

[nolapete]

Now that I see a light at the end of the proverbial tunnel for actually getting the coating for my 4300 gallon tank, I thought I'd get some feedback on stocking.

Not that I don't know what I want in it, but I'm always looking for that gem of a fish that I may have overlooked. You know how it goes, so many fish, so few tanks!

If this was your tank, what would you put in it. It's over-filtered, so have at it!

If it was a FW tank, i'd definitely chuck in an MBU or two... would be absolutely stunning having two 3ft blimp like fish swimming around there with some other community fish maybe? although the MBU's may get peckish...

in a 4300gallon tank i would put LARGE cichla and LARGE dats
Some large Rays at the bottom
AND HUGE black arowanas at the top level.
maybe a large school of black bar silver dollars?
maybe even a white gar?

All CA cichlid is what I would do

a wels catfish, but that's just me.

There's pics of the current progress of the tank build in the build thread on my signature.

Very cool. Didn't know a freshwater puffer existed that got that big.

10-15 ST datnoids
10 IT datniods
10 NTT datnoids
10 Black aros
A tig
A lima shovelnose
Leopoldis

That's my idea of the BEST stocklist ever!
