Tank setup

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
The smallest pecies of rays like retic or histryx need at least 180g tank. hardiest is a motoro but needs a much bigger tank. Rays are not colorful. Most are brown with some being black with white spots. The most colorful fish are african cichlids or discus with discus being much harder to keep. Also with discus u need soft water, so if ur gonna put corals in the tank I suggest u do african cichlids. You have Mbunas, Peacocks, Haps or Tropheops that will give you the color ranges you're looking for. Good luck
 
if you want a good setup that will accommodate a variety of setups get a 120, 4X2X2. Then with that layout there is plenty you could do. I would personally do a semi-planted medium fish community tank, with a center piece cichlid like a rocktiel severum, along with some bichirs, and a couple smaller datnoids

Smaller dats? :confused:
 
Yes such as an American Tiger since they are fairly slow growing and typically stay below 14"

Pretty sure the American is the only dat that would stay small enough for a little 110g 4ft long tank once full grown, and if I'm not mistake datnioides polota are brackish. OP stated they're sticking to FW I believe.

+1 for Africans OP. :D
