Potential new 150 stocking ideas?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Hey Will, here's something to consider.... I have a 135 which is same footprint as a 150 (6 ft x 18"w) but just a couple inches shorter in height. My stock is 2 red severum, 6 angels, 4 Bolivian Rams, Rummynose, cardinal tetras, Dennison barbs and an assortment of cats (Raphael, S.A. bumblebees, bn plecos). It's a great tank and I love watching it because there is always something going on. There's a good harmony in the tank. Your dad could do something similar and I think as a beginner would get a lot of enjoyment from something similar. Just a thought.
Here's a couple pics from my tank.

Why do we have like the exact same tanks? =P My Living room tank is a 125 (6'x18") with 2 severums, a dozen geophagus sp rehead tapajo juvies (not keeping them all), 14 lemon tetras, 6 denison barbs, and a bristlenose...

I love it, but he's an unmarried man (wifes' mom passed a few years ago) in his house all allow now that all his kids moved out... He needs a fish friend more than a community. Still, it's his first experience and I want it to be good. Didn't mention earlier but I'll be going there and doing maintenance on it.
 
Get him a wet pet, amph, oscar, pearsei, jag

Haha, because those kinds of community tanks are great!

But I hear ya on the single guy thing. Wet pet would probably suit him better. I second jaws7777s suggestions.
