This stocking is obviously for a large tank, and if i get a spare Monster tank i wanna do it, what do you think?


One-three)Striped Pike Characin "Boulengerella lateristriga" (mid/top)
Four-six)Ctenolucius hujeta (mid/top)
two-three)red tail baracuda (Acestrorhynchus falcatus)(mid/top)
two)Boulengerella maculata(mid/top)
four)Ctenopoma acutirostre (mid level)
four) Synodontis multipunctatus(bottom)
One)Black Ghost Knife
School 12-18)Exodon paradoxus

Also, Would a Peacock bass eat any of those if the tank is large?
 
MAYbe the ctenos, they don't get too very big.
 
other then the PBass what you think about that stocking?
and what kind of monster tank should I hunt down for something like that (IF i can even find all those fish)
 
i dont know how big the synos get so i would say, pending them,. 220? min.
 
Those fish are not exactly top picks to go together.

For one, the exodons will constantly harrass and bother the other fish, if only by continuous swimming.

Too many mid/top fish. "Top Heavy" tank! lol

A P. Bass would eat EVERYTHING you have listed, except POTENTIALLY the Syno cats.

The 2 barracudas would also likely eat the other fish as well when they get bigger.
 
hmm didnt figure the exodons would bug the other preds, if thats so im going to boot them,

yea the tank is going to be top heavy either way, thats why im thinking the tank to be ATLEAST 3 ft wide hopefully 5 ft long? 18-24" high?
none of theese fish really need height,

anyways the reason i posted this is to see what goes where and to model my "dream" tank after what will live together and have a good life :)

the cudas dont get much bigger then any of the other fish listed, so i dont ~THINK~ they would eat the others,
i may be wron tho..
 
Also, for those who know, have you seen all those species for sale? and what would be a average price for them?
 
ctenos and last 2
cteno about $15-20 how big you get em
BGK about $20ish
exos $10-15
 
ok thanx, anyone know theese?
