New tank. What to put in it? Ideas please!

[Izard-industries]

So I picked up a juwel 150cm X 50cm X 50cm tank yesterday for £50.

I need ideas on what to put in it! I already have another tank slightly larger size with 4 severums, 2 lima shovelnose, sun cat and a pleco.

Fire away with ideas! Pictures would also be helpful! ☺

How about some upper jaw polys, bush fish, Congo tetras and African butterfly fish.

Aren't those shovel nose a big species?

I think bichirs are a good fit for that size tank, not for a long time, but enough.

My sorubim lima shovel nose should grow to 18". Once they are big enough they will go in a tropical pond.

I want some interesting fish to go in the new tank! Some of a decent size but not too big for the tank

Acara cichlid is a good fish to have.

Very colorful, docile, healthy eater, and interactive with other fish and also me, the feeder.

Denison barbs add much movement and color to a tank as well.

Sorry I didn't see the Lima in the tank.
