Hi,
Ok im getting another 120g:cool-1: this time rather than it been a 4ftx20"x28" its a 4x2x2 so i was wondering what to put in it?
i was thinking of some kind of ray like a
1x pervervian hystrix,
1x dat,
4x red head geos,

but thats all iv got i need some more ideas, please let me know what else i can add or what i should not add from that list above, as ive always bought fish that will out grow my tanks so i wanna do it right this time thanks.
 
Heh i'm having the same problem :(..... cant decide on waht to put in my 120g.. i really want an arrow but they are gona outgrow it..
 
yeah i made a mistake of getting mine but im not gonna sell him untill he out grows his tank.
 
People are telling me to get 2x stingrays and discuss.. Maybe you should try it out? add some outher small colorful fish.. might be fun
 
rather than a dat i think i will get a fire eel and a black shark what do you think?

Fire eels are awesome!! yeah i think you should get the eel rather than the dat. I dont know how a black shark would do in a tank thats only 4 feet long though. Black sharks can grow 3 feet long...
 
they only get to 2ft in captivity ;) im def gonna get that eel.
 
lol no problem, i did not know that until i reasearched it.
 
Id steer clear of black sharks, they can be really aggresive. An can an will "whittle" away at even big fish until they die.

Fire eel is a good choice, Im trying to find one for my 120. You might wanna consider tinfoil barbs, bala sharks (for schooling fish), Plecos, african butterfly fish, synodontis cats.

One thing you should Def have if you get a fire eel is a really tight fitting lid. most eels are like Houdini an find ways out of any loose area.
