Suggest Other Fish for My Tank

[arkmann]

I am done growing out fish. I want instant gratification and I will be getting them big if not huge.

I am planning to keep the following fish in my 180 gallon:

18" endli
15" arowana
14" widebar datnoid
8" NTT for growing out
8" IT for sentimental value (original fish from my first tank)
6" tigrinus (growing it out in a 40 gallon)

As you noticed, I already have a top level, mid-level, and bottom level fish. What other fish can you suggest I get? I think in the end, I might end up having 4 or 5 fish and I want them to be all big. Meaning at least 12" or preferably bigger.

No illegal or too expensive fish. I just can't think of anything. I tried the pbass but not really into it either. I guess I like stripped and fish with big scales.

Salamat po!

IMO you are allready over stocked with what you have.

A standard 180g is 6ft by 2ft.

And that aro and the tig will need something bigger as is.

If you do not plan on going larger than the 180. Then I would delete the aro and the tig and do more poly's and dats.

I agree

I think the aro is stunted and I like it like that. Tigrinus is not growing really fast. I would say it would take about a year for it to reach 16"

If it is already over stocked, I guess it will be a jdm tank in the future. Nonetheless, I will get more fish for it. You guys should see the tanks here in my location...

Any fish suggestions and not a suggestion not to get more fish or to cut back.

Noah, don't add anymore fish. You're collection is already really nice as is. If you want more fish you can add another big endli.

I still think my tank is getting boring though and thinking that another big fish will do it for me.

Looks about full to me. If anything, get something slow-growing.

Definitely a slow growing fish. What the heck, I was growing datnoids for 2.5 years...

I mean with a stunted aro there's not much growing that's gonna happen in the 180 considering that the other fish that I'm planning to keep in it are the NTT and IT. I am still growing out the tigrinus in a 40 gallon tank and will probably move it to the 180 when its about 12" or bigger.

Also, everyone on MFK upgrades one way or another.
