Question for big dreamers:
- Thread starter Zoodiver
- Start date
A school of Discus and another of Geophagus Surinamensis - I think these are beautiful fish. Frank from the Netherlands used to have a beautiful school of these in his stingray tank - stunning fish. With that much depth in the tank, it will be fun filling up the different levels with different species. At least the Discus couldn't complain that there wasn't enough height in the tank!
What about some SA Lungfish? And IDK where bichirs are native to but if there are some from SA then how about those? And I deffinatly agree with the redhooks and barred SD. I think SD are stunning. Also to go along with the giant school of cons I agree that neons would look amazing I just think they would get picked off too fast by the cons and other small/juvinile cichlids. Oh and I think you should throw in some true parrot cichlids. They are absolutly amazing!

he said fish from south american, clown knives, royal knives, bala sharks, tinfoil barbs, clown loaches and ghost knives are ALL from asia so will definately not fit in with a south american theme.joeytoe;542114;542114 said:
would it be easier to keep males in the tank and females off exhibit so that you dont have to net out pups from your monster tank?
