stocking my tanks

[FISHandJEEPS]

I am currently building a 240 gallon plywood tank to house my other fish when they get larger. It is almost finished. Hopefully I will have it completed and cycled in about a month or two. I was wondering what to stock it with. Currently I have a 75 gallon with a common pleco, 2 oscars, and a firemouth. I also have a 55 with a midas and texas with 3 silver dollars. I keep thinking about stocking ideas. I don't know if i should put all these together in the 240 or even if they will all get along. Maybe i will keep one in the 75 and one in the 55 and add something else to the 240. Maybe i will breed convicts and use as feeders in the 55. Not sure what to do.

:Congrats on the 240...

Your Convict 55/breeder sounds perfect...As for the 240, it's pretty big...Here's what I'd do:

240 Tinfoil barbs, Oscars, Texas, Firemouth, Pleco
75 Midas Devil Showcase
55 Convict breeder

I agree! That sounds like a cool tank! You could also throw in a Aro and a Clown Knife! It would be cool to add a Jaguar! You would have a pretty active tank full of monsters!

Are you taking pics of your process building the 240G?
Best of luck and cant wait to see the finished product!

thanks for the ideas. I wish i had taken pics of the progress, but i didn't. My fiancee and i just finished puting in the glass. It is an exciting project. I would of took pics but when i was out in the garage building it, i would get to involved. Oh i'll get the camera later, i would tell my self. I have been seriously thinking of getting of getting an arowana, but i think in the long run the tank will be to small. If this goes well, you can be sure that i will be building a bigger one in the future.
