Received New 96X36X36

Thanks for all the suggestions on stocking the tank. I really don't know what I will stock it with besides the fish that I already have. My goal is to not overstock the tank and to get fish that I will be albe to comfortable house for life, so no TSN, TSN Hybrid or RTC. I don't even think an Arowana is feasible as the tank is 3 ft wide and an Arowana can grow to 3-4 ft long. My other requirments are that the fish need to be easy to feed, meaning that I'm only going to get fish that will be able to take foods such as flake, pellet, freeze dried or frozen. If the fish requires an exotic diet beyond that, I'm not really interested. I'm also going to limit the max size of the fish that I get to 1.5-2 ft as I think that size will be a good size to house for life.

I admire your fish selection. I have been doing the fish thing for 20+ years. I have had the TSN, RTC, GT, RD and a snake head or three. There comes a time when you want to kick back and enjoy the tank w/o having to worry about selective feeding or fish that just get way too big to scoop up in a midsized net. I, like you it seems would like a tank with several fish that grow no bigger then 5" and are peaceful!. I know this is Monster Fish Keeping.....but I like to think of it more as Monster Tanks!

Silver dollars, tinfoil barbs, Tricolor sharks (do they still have these)

 

[Chromobotia]

Current stock for tank are 3 Tin Foil Barbs, 3 Bala Sharks and 10 Clown Loaches.

The first picture is before I put the 10 Loaches in. Water was looking a little cloudy.






Second picture has the Clown Loaches added to the tank. A water change was performed prior to adding the Loaches. Water cleared up a bit but there are tiny air bubbles on the acrylic. Enjoy.

i was asking the guy above who said he had an rtc, and a few snake heads and whatnot.. I just wanna know where did the rtc go? they certainly out grwo 5inches in no time!
i have one now, and am looking for a rare one, but it seems they are RARE (lol, clearly a rare fish is hard to find, because they are rare)
