i need ideas

[clm08k]

I second everything that has all ready been said in regards to maintenance, stock number, etc. I like my fish to have plenty of swimming room and areas to explore. Also remember some of these fish get huge.

Thanks mags for saying 6x2x2 because I didn’t feel like converting lol.


For a tank that big, I would do larger uppers(big 3) and lower jaws.
1. Ornate
2.weeksii
3. PBB or lap
4. THICC Endli with crazy patterns
5. Congi or ansorgii(they both are the largest growers).

However I do love spotted gars. Though you’d have to upgrade to a larger tank later on. Apollo sharks are cool too. AT the end of the day, you gotta get which fish you are interested in the most.

Really depends on what other fish you may want. The sen can not go with ljs. There are lots of nice ljs and ujs. I don't like the look of most ljs, to brutish for me. Not saying they are not impressive or ugly they're certainly not ugly. Ujs have always been in my heart though so that's what's in my 6x2x2. If you want some smaller fish you can get them also with most ujs not tiny but larger tetras, barbs, alot of different fish. You're limited to the largest fish with ljs.

Dr.B kept a tank full of lj/uj

The key to keeping lower jaws and upper jaws together mostly tends to be giving them adequate spacing and keeping them (particularly the larger lower jaws) well fed. I currently have fish around 20"-24" with senegals 8"-10." As far as ideas for the tank go, I personally like to have a degree a variance just so I can appreciate the differences between them all. If I had to put together a stock for a 6x2x2 it'd probably be: Koliba, endlicheri (any variant), and then a handful of non Senegal upperjaws
