Just acquired a 6x2x2. Stock options?

[xApostle]

Hi everyone.
So I've just managed to aquire a 6x2x2 180gal. I'll be picking it up in like 2-3months as I'll have free time then.
What are the options for stock in your opinion?

You could stock a lot of fish in that tank. The question is, what fish interest you?

You could keep a nice selection of plecs in there [your area of interest I believe?], scape it with some sand, plenty of driftwood for hides/territories, and fill the middle/upper level with a group of angels, and/or geophagus, and/or tetras.

I'm into the larger species if I'm honest. There's a stunted Achara catfish ill be taking, it's been in a 3x1x2 tank for just over a year. I want to give it the opportunity to grow.
Plus, I have a 10x5x3 in storage. just no space to put it out unfortunately. It belonged to my friend. that'll be up in like 1-2 years so whatever I get needs to be ok in the 180g for at least that long before it gets moved to a 8x3x3 and then the 10x5x3 lol the other 2 tanks are not running atm. Keep that in mind. So without further ado. What do you guys think?

Yeah, L25s and L24s are a must

I have lots of central American cichlids in my 180 gallon along with an arowana. since you have those 2 other huge tanks you could keep whatever you want

Yeah. But I'd rather stick with things that can survive years in my 180g without being desperate to get the big boys up n running. Just in case I don't have space or something. I'd love a black aro but I don't know how long the 180 will last lol.

haha honestly, I'd get bored as crap with that set up. I think, as far as L25s and L24s go, I'll leave that for the future so I can get a big group and try breed.

If you're planning on setting up that big tank in the future then get the slow growers growing now! Stock up on small Pseudas and other plecs so that by the time you get that big tank going they'll be a reasonable size.
