new 135.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I`d have to try and get some Heros Notatus to mix with the green severums and as for the bichers you could have P palmas P Delhezi P Senegalus all of which stay to a good size and arn`t that expensive either.
And if you wanted a few plants i`d suggest either giant valis as it`s reasnably strong and the sevs won`t oblierate it as quick as they will other plants. Or use pond lilies, i got pissed of with all the plants that i had to replace all the time and then i was at the father in laws house and saw the lilies in his pond and thought "oh they look strong" so i cut some of and stuck them in my tank and the sevs haven`t touched them, and in less than a week my nitrates have gone from 10ppm to 0ppm so they`re pretty and practical.... Just make sure you wash them real well though as not to transfer any uglys..

Good luck whatever you decide to go for...
 
I had one of those lionfish before. They're kinda boring unless they're eating. They pretty much wait for a fish to get close enough to their mouth, then gulp it down kinda like an anglerfish. . . . and they've got huge mouths, so don't be surprised if some of your smaller fish disappear.

I would recommend getting fish that you like!..................why do people always ask others to recommend stocking??? Take charge man, get some fish you think are cool and enjoy!!
EXACTLY
 
Instead of requesting what you should keep....... why not state what YOU would like to keep and then check here to see if its ok for that sized tank.

But if your just looking for ideas... then i would say some SA/CA cichlids like always, but keep ones that are not too aggressive as you dont have alot of tank space to work with.

Personally, I'd do 6 festivums and a school of charicins. either neons,cardinals or harliquin rasboras. in a semi-planted tank with a few nice pieces of wood on a black substrate/black background. (excuss the spelling)

so for a stock list ive got.
-5 silver dollars
-2 green severums
-freshwater lion fish
-delhezi bichir
-2 plecos
-sun catfish.
-banded leprinous

sounds like alot to me.
but this tank is 5 times bigger than my biggest previous tank

I would go for more severums, maybe 5, ditch the lion fish (they usually do best in brackish), and maybe add some types of eartheaters, Jurapari?

How bout some pics? Threads with pics usually get better answers.:ROFL:
 
Jurapari are cool fish.
i thought about a group of sevs but thought it would over stock the tank.

hmm...i have no experience with a tank this big so i have no idea what i can do.

ill take some pictures.
ill post tonight or tomorrow
