After being commanded to move my current tank & having will be having to construct a rather nice new tank stand, i plan on having a 2 tiered system.
one for my current setup (oscars/cats etc) and one for an as of yet unknown set of fish..
first of it will be another 55gal (220litres i think.. so maybe 54gal.. whatever)
and i do like my oddbals and monsters so any suggestions are welcome! i have been considering some of the following (most dont go together im aware there's are just possible fish, one or the other not all in together!)
http://fishbase.sinica.edu.tw/summary/SpeciesSummary.php?id=6385 <- has anyone kept one before? a native Aussie fish commonly known as a bullrout.
a possibility also is the tetraroge barbata/niger fish as these are much smaller.
any feedback on that?
any form of pike characins that would be suitable for a 55gal? im under the impression that most would still grow too big and skittish for a 55?
and one that is sitting almost at the top of my list if it werent for the bullrout... is this fella: http://www.thetropicaltank.co.uk/Fishindx/cteno-ac.htm
whatever goes in i want a quite well planted tank as my current setup doesnt do too well with an oscar digging things up all the time!
anyway after all that confusion im wide open to suggestions! Predatory fish always pique my interest but i would like a tank that has a few decent sized fish (about 15cm mark) unless its something really interesting that i can devote the whole tank to...
cheers!
