Hi guys

I have just got into Tropical fish in the last 6 months.
I started of with a 2x2x1f tank 30 Gallons / 60L tank
Stocked with 2 Angles , 4 rasbora , 2 electric blue rams, 5 Phantom tetras, 1 gold spot pleco , 2 bristlenose catfish , 1 siamese fighting fish ( full crown ), 2 dwarf honey gourami , 1 flame gourami
1 rainbow shark and a panda corydora.

Also I have 2 black ghost knife fish in a small tank (babys ) that they will out grown in the next 4 months.


I have just ordered a 6x2x2f Tank 180g or 670L.
So the question is what to place into such a tank with my 2 ghosts ?
The tank is going to be placed in my dining room. with Fake rock background.

I would love a gulf saratoga but he might get to big for that tank and my wife wants to hand feed the ghost knifes. I'm looking to get interesting fish to start people talking .

Any Ideas? love to see some people 6 foot tanks.

Thanks Fiveoffive.
 
black ghost knifes (BGK) can be very weird I have one that will not eat live food (had guppies in the tank from 1/4 inch to full grown) but will eat cucumbers. Be careful with fin nippers in the tank because I had a bgk hows fin looked like a rake after some fish got into it with him (he is fine now). Maybe try south americans
 
cories should always be kept in groups of 3 or more minimum. the larger the group the better.
if your tank is 2' length x2' width x1' high then you have a large enough ground area I would go with 8-10. all panda's would be good, or 3-4 more pandas and 3-5 of another species.

I've read that they don't play will with others in there species.
 
You should get something that schools, I have 8 silver dollars in my 180gallon and they look good in there.. Over the next few months I will add a group of differnt color severums, and I really want a tigrinus catfish!!!! I was gonna do Florida gar and stingrays, but changed my mind.. I still might get two hystrix rays to go on bottom with the tigrinus..
 
I was thinking something colour or a fish that can make people go wow . I think I will get another tank for my hall .gulf Saratoga iin There . so the other might have to community tank
 
Well your options are going to be limited because you have to get something that is compatible with your Two BGK!! So you need to start with a list of fish that are... I still say the tigrinus cat is gonna bring that wow factor that you looking for, and they dont grow too fast, so you can grow other species along side it!!!
