I recently aquired a 135 (as previously posted in another thread) but I am having a really difficult time deciding what to put in it. I'm open to all suggestions. I cant think of anything to set it apart, and I'd like to make this a unique tank. Thanks for all suggestions!
 
I think you should go with like 8 Tinfoil barbs an a Gar :headbang2
 
A pack of Gold Wolfish (7-9) and one common Wolffish on the bottom. Aquascape it with sand and driftwood along the bottom to mid area... branched out. :)
 
Well...it looks like you already have an African Cichlid set up, a "Monster" set up, so why don't you do a big small fish community set up? Throw in about 50 neons here, 50 cherry barbs there, a group of 20 cories...
 
Dimensions? I really like what was mentioned above, especially if the tank is only 12" wide. Get yourself maybe 50 cardinals, couple awesome cories, few pairs of rams, and 3 high quality discus (DavidW is actually selling his-top notch!)
 
I love to have a tank heavilly decorated with rocks and roots...
(With lot's of hidingplaces)
Haven't seen that much in her, but big monsters of course need som space :)

But remember there are a lot of really nice "small monsters" out there ;)

In this 530 liter tank I had a lot of different "L-Number" catfish,
and also a collection of Synodontis catfishes..
I did'nt see them all all the time, but it was one of my most exciting tanks
to watch :thumbsup:

Highly recommended!

(Sorry, bad photoquality)

2/3 water, brackish, open top and hanging spotlights with a mangrove growing out of it at one end and salt rush at the other, fiddler crabs, red claw crabs, orange chromides, spaghetti eels , false four eyed fish, indian mud skippers, knight gobies, oligatus gobies, wood shrimp, malabar tongue soles, hermit crabs, trumpet snails, golden horn snails. None of these are monsters but you would have a very active and very unique tank. I would like a set up like this as a room divider.
