I know I will get the largest tank i can find/afford (hopefully a 125-180), for my larger fish. but i'm trying to also find out what i'm going to make a colection of in the summer. I keep on changing my idea, so It's time to see what you guys would do. keep in mind, these are not strictly limited to the larger tank i will get. I will deside were they will go after i deside what it will be.


A. bicher, and knifefish collection

B. rarer catfish

C. hybrids

D. 1 Softshell turtle

E.any other ideas(name em.)

I am still keeping C. as an option, although the only hybrids i can get are regular Blood parrots, an occasional KK, and a texas/jaguar, but i keep my eyes open. I will get a few misc. fish, probibly a small aro, or african butterly, but is for theme collections
 
Good plecos are too expenasive. Havent really been a fan of the fancies. like farlowellas better, but i think i'll pick up some royals, and rhinos. I am still open to suggestions, so showe some pics of affordable, eye cathing plecs
 
Just don't forget the clown loaches!
 
I like yoyos better, but i can't say for sure since i've never tried them. that will work
 
I'd get the exotic catfish. Some pims (tig, juruense if you don't want to spend the money on the tig), ornate pim, p. sturio, etc... I personally, would like to expand my dat collection (only have one now, so not really a collection yet) and pick up some different perch type fish.

Marbled pims have a really cool personallity. I have a 14in one right now and is very friendly. It eats from my hand and I can pet him and stuff. I would go with one of those and other cats.

I like those. Those will get bigger than tigs though (like 30"), so they will need a bigger tank. Tigs will stay under 2' so they'd need a tank at least that wide.

Here's a link to all of the different pims at planetcatfish...
