Stocking Ideas for a 65G Tank

[Cookie*]

I see the rainbowfish a lot at the lfs, but I've only seen Boesman's at the better private owned lfs.

brackish tank! half full, with archers and scats, etc.

 

[Freezekougra]

some sort of thorichthys species

I would go with some blue rams and some gold rams, a couple cory catfish, but would need to add some plants ...

if it was 5 more gallons I would say maybe an oscar.

maybe a couple angel fish ?

 

[Diskboy12]

Discus tank, with a couple pairs of blue rams, true julii cories, and cardinal tetras.

bala aharks, red tailed sharks, 2 common plecos.

 

[Cakilla]

bala aharks, red tailed sharks, 2 common plecos.

This would look great but he said he did not want to upgrade them , and I think balas would need to upgrade, they get pretty big.

I secound the rainbow fish idea. Also do a fancy pleco such as anL-114 he will get large but not out grow the tank . Check out the parkinsoni rainbow as an adult. You could also mix rainbows.

 

[turtlesrock]

yeah, balas will outgrow it

 

[manlyfish]

yeah, balas will outgrow it

so would the pleco and the red tailed sharks will be too aggressive


i would get one big fat ugly fish
