Moving, need a pop for a 90g

[Madou]

So my top 4 atm is as follows:
1. Single Mala (Unless it can share, which I doubt)
2. Shoal (And I mean shoal, not group ) of Exodons and perhaps a couple of the smaller panaques? I love my nigrolineatus!
3. Group of Leaf fish (And perhaps the Polys?)
4. Mix of Polys, Sorubims, and still undecided active fishes (perhaps Cudas?)

Do you plan on upgrading or can a mala live in a 120 x 45 footprint?

I don't plan on upgrading for a few years at least, as long as I am in an apartment. The footprint is 120x50. I trust kno4te and Red know their wolves, though.

Kk. I wouldnt keep anything over 25cm in a 4 ft tank

Me neither, but well, Hoplias are not exactly ATF kind of active, to be fair.

Fair point. I like big fish in bigger tanks. Not this squeezing an oscar into a 55 crap. I would start 350 litres for an oscae

I remember a fish that was kind of interesting, and seemed to be pretty goddam hyper, but I don't find much infos, not many people keep them... Cetopsis Coecutiens, blue whale or something.

Would a few of this work?

It would also make use of my powerheads, now that I think of it.

I still think I like the idea of a robust Mala more, but that's a pretty interesting fish!

I agree, I kept my 3 oscars in 700 litres. As you can see in my previous posts, I was concerned about the size as well, but I am not going to question people who have and still own multiple of them.

I think a 2m x 60cm is needed, volume is not as important (just more or less WC)

As for those blue whale catfish, they look interesting, i kinda want one. Would definitely be a number 1 choice for me

Yea....can be kept in a small group,2-3, in the 90 gallon. No other tankmates though. Very cool sight to see feed and an awesome oddball catfish!
