NEW 180 Gallon tank: I need ideas!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
nice big setup... I have always wanted a 180...

Thanks man. I'm still considering options though. Clown knife is on the table(no double pun intended) but I'm etching toward the peacock bass and achara catfish route. I'm even looking at a few stingray species for possibilities.

pecock bass are cool, I considered some for my 4x2x2 120 but I decided to do a community of cichlids instead... rays are cool, I don't have rays but I have heard they are sensitive so lots of wcs to keep rays alive is probibly required...

yeah. I'm backing out of the ray area. they seem very complicated. plus they're expensive. I'm probably gonna wait awhile before i get anything though and ill just stick with the three i already have. but so far my stock list is looking like the following:

1x FL gar
1x ornate bichir
1x red tail payara
1x peacock bass(probably mono or orino)
1x achara catfish

obviously still sub just to changes, which would look like the following:

1x FL gar
1x Ornate bichir
1x Red tail payara
1x Clown knife
1x giraffe catfish

or vise versa with the last two.

for the second stock you mentioned I would do a pbass...
 
IMO the tank is too small for a mono/ocell. If you are going for Pbass I'd do Azuls or Kelbs or something.

same with the catfish. they only need to be kept in a 180 for a few years so it's not for life. My gar will outgrow this tank so I will be upgrading in the future again.
