How Would You Stock a 4300 Gallon Tank?

I'm sure the wildlife and fisheries would not be happy if they knew what that tiny GATF turned into.

what do you mean officer, its just a tetra

I would have a group of like 8-10 jardini and obviously large cats.... pretty sure everyone needs atleast one in thier monster tank.

 

[ceeej31]

2-3x cichla orinocensis
2-3x cichla intermedia
6x heros severus 'atabapo'
6x uaru fernandezyepezi
10x geophagus dicrozoster
2x crenicichla marmota (pair)
2x hoplarchus psittacus
10x mylessoma duriventre
6x hoplerythrinus unitaeniatus
1x semaprochilodus taeniurus
1x brachyplatystoma tigrinum
1x acanthicus adonis
or
heavily planted with
20x symphysodon aequifasciatus
20x pterophyllum altum
1000x paracheirodon axelrodi
10x colomesus asellus
500x hyphessobrycon erythrostigma
250x corydoras panda 1x acanthicus adonis

Chad55, I don't think 8-10 jardini would get along even in 4300 gallons.

Diffusing of aggression would be the reason for having so many. I am pretty sure you could make it work. I would give it a shot but then again you could always go with a bunch of silvers and or blacks too. Oh and I think that a school of ID sharks would look really cool too.

SA com and toss in a few oddballs. I'de def try a MBU or other large FW puffer.

 

[redtailshark1]

get some big saratogas

 

[redtailshark1]

Giant gourami(s) and pleco sailfin

Stingrays for the bottom, and then any SA/CA cichlid that stays under 8". Maybe throw in a couple arowana's for a large surface are fish, but I think a whole bunch of small cichlids (in groups) would be really neat to watch.

Or else something like 10,000 tetra's (split into several species), plus a couple of large predatory cichlids that would slowly pick them off, but never completely diminish the population because of breeding.
