Looking at my current tank recently I decided it's time to upgrade in the near future.
Current: 36G bowfront 1.5 years old.
Striped Rafael cat 4"
Albino Sengal Bichir 5"
2- Tiger barbs 2-3"
2- Yoyo loaches 3"
1- Eclipse cat 3"
1- Common Couple
The Bichir and the catfish are by far my favorite fish to keep so I want to build a tank (acrylic) that suits their needs best.
5'x4'x2.5' That should be 370+gal. with a big footprint.
Filtration will be DIY and sufficient for good water quality, I'll save my plans for another thread later.
Sock list so far:
Striped Rafael cat
Albino Sengal Bichir
2- Yoyo loaches
Eclipse cat
Bristlenose Plec
Polypterus Delhezi
Asian Upsidedown Catfish
Spotted Rafael cat
Giant Rafael catfish (is 370g big enough? I doubt it but those guys look awesome)
Mid to top dwellers:
Asian Arowana(s) 2 at most
or
Gars (1-3 florida or longnoses)
or
Native Texas bluegills
I don't think any of those 3 would Co-exist.
Any of the bottom dwellers I want to have the ability to have 2-3 depending.
I want a lower stock ratio than I have now and no fish that will outgrow the tank.
As far as structures and hiding places I will be doing a 3D background on one end and the rest of the tank a maze of
different caves of varying sizes. Every fish should have no problem finding a "spot".
My questions are this.
Will that stock list fill up a 370?
Any issues to be expected between the species?
Thank you
