Ok, here's my dream tank, I need help with the stocking-

12 feet long, 1600 gallons, a bunch of Fluval FX5 and Aquaclear 110s.

But what can I stock? I know I'd want a silver arowana, and a black arowana, and maybe an asian arowana (I live in Canada, its legal here :headbang2)
But what else?

What would you put in a 1600g with a couple arowana? What could I put in?
 
"What would you put in a 1600g with a couple arowana? What could I put in?"

loose the FX5 and the AC's.... in a 1600 you need to go big!!! like pool filter big, or a 500gal plus wet/dry system...

Also with a 1600 I would do a completely prehistoric tank...
 
a amozon tank with peacocks and bunch of aros stingrays oscars catfishs maybe paraya
 
An amazon community would definitely be cool. P Bass, rays, oscars, arowana, maybe an arapaima (tank is too small for life though)

A wet/dry sump would be better for filtration also.
 
do a aro comm tank...5 asians(1rtg,1 xbg,1cr,1gr,and 1 hybrid r/g), 3silvers, 2 blacks and abunch of bottom dwellers,(tig,gulfer,rtc X tsn,irwini,albino channel) plus some atf,pyara,dats..maybe some p.bass..and then maybe 50 pair of breeding cons,and alot of hiding spot for them....lol
 
with a tank that big, u would need to go SA monster tank. Aros, monster cats, rays, pbass, maybe even pacu. I don't think you would have a problem with asian aros in there
 
If I had a tank that big, I'd accept donations for tank busters. There's enough big fish in small tanks out there to just take 'em for free. ESPECIALLY RTCs and maybe Os.
