Stocking/scaping ideas for a 100 gallon?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Is it the 6 feet by 1.5 feet by 1.5 feet roughly or is it another design?
 
Well of you ask me that would be a lovely size tank for an oscar and a school of silver dollars. Jexnell Jexnell if you're interested in oscars make sure to ask him. He's the oscar person in my book.
Possibly some type of catfish.... not pictus because they could kill the oscar if eaten.
If you're looking for a really interesting catfish and maybe build the stocking around it then look into the slender shovelnose catfish. Gets to 12 inches roughly.

If I had a chance to redo my 75 I would get me one of those.
 
There are many,many ways you could go. What do you want? A big single fish? Or many little fish?
 
Look into wallace's shoehead catfish. It's a personal favorite of mine. It's a unique driftwood catfish that gets to 8 inches :).
 
A colony of Geophagu tapajos, and a school of angels or denisons barbs. With a group of Siamese algae eaters. I have something similar to this and it's a great tank to watch. Full of activity and personality

Mexican river theme, whole scape is just lots of riverrocks and pebbles with some branches and a few low-clinging plants. Powerhead for solid flow over the rocks. For stock, 10 Rheoheros Coeruleus and 6 ameca splendens (wet spot has both right now).

Im not a African cichlid person myself but if set up properly they can look amazing, in that tank you could do a lake tanganyika tank with shell dwellers, cyprichromis and calvus with a tangayikan spiny eel. Or you could make it a SA cichlid tank with a group of Cupid cichlids, angels and severums with cory catfish as bottom dwellers. These are just some ideas as the tank has the same footprint as a 125 so you have lots of options
