Hi all, been a while since I've been on here... was forced to sell last tank due to putting house up for sale. All sorted now... wife is now ex-wife, house off the market and new tank arrived today!

I'll post some pics of the new set up shortly... but first, what to do with it?

Am thinking the following Asian community:

1 x giant red finned Gourami - Osphronemus laticlavius
8 x Tinfoil Barbs - Barbonymus schwanenfeldii
6 x Clown loaches - Chromobotia macracanthus
1 x Siamese tiger fish - Datnioides microlepis
1 x snakehead, thinking either Channa pleurophthalma or C. punctata

Am stuck on cats, would really like one as always loved them, would love an Asian redtail, but just not practical. I'm thinking dwarf Goonch (Bagarius bagarius) maybe, but am open to suggestions...

PS - posted this on PFK too, snakehead idea got poo pooed due to aggressive nature and Goonch not good due to needing cooler temps... does anyone here have any experience of these who could back up this? I do like PFK, but sometimes can be a little 'conservative'.

Thanks,
 
Pics... should have plumbing done in next week or so and will then cycle off an existing filter, should be ready for first fish in 3 weeks (ish).
