Hi,

All equipment to my brakish tank was buyed :D. Now it is a tme to set it up and decide what fish should I stock in.

I want to buy:
3 ARGUSes ([SIZE=-1]Scatophagus argus)[/SIZE])
3 ARGUSes (Scathopagus argus atromaculatus)
2 ARIUSes
and maybe:
2 Monos
some glassfishes or [SIZE=-1]Etroplus maculatus

Isn't it to much for my tank ? Can you sugest any other stock in to 200l tank ?
In next two years I want to make this tank marnie FO.

That's around 50g. You could keep 1 scat in there. Are you planning on upgrading to a HUGE tank? You really need to research the adult sizes of your fish. Scats grow as large as a dinner plate. Monos grow to a foot & are schooling fish. You'd need at least a 300g tank to handle a school of adults. Silver sharks grow to 18" are also schooling fish. They will also eat your glassfish.

Thanks Pufferpunk,

I decided to purchase 2 GSP & 6 Bumble Bee Gobies. I wasn'y sure if GSP will tolarate any other fish but they looks nice in one tank i my pet store :D

Whats a GSP?
 
The recomended minimum tank size for an adult green spotted puffer is 30g. They will eventually eat the gobies. 1 would be vrey comfortable in your sized tank.
