Some motion for my "ocean"

[reddead38]

Looking to get a little more movement in my freshwater 120 gal growout tank. Currently have 3 6-7" tats and a 7" fatf ..
Was thinking of possibly trying to find some mahseers.. The tank is very lightly planted but that still takes SDs off the list...
Any suggestions?

Do you see the dithers as expendable?

 

[reddead38]

I'd rather them not be expendable that's why I was thinking mahseer.. I'd like a Pbass but iv heard that they can get very pushy towards other fish and can be very spooky.. Iv seen some other large orange striped fish that almost look like clown loaches but 12"+ but I don't know what they are.

I think those are distichodus sexfasciatus

 

[reddead38]

OK thanks I'll do a bit of research on those

Distichodus eats plants... as I'm sure you'll find out.

I think those are distichodus sexfasciatus

And they get very big...

Also they get very aggressive when large and lose their color. They turn a pale olive color, never will I get another caused a lot of greif for me.

Nice thread title

So if they get huge and aggressive what other options do I have for a nice looking midrange swimmer that will keep up with my tats and fatf?
