What To Put In A 40B ?
- Thread starter CrooK808
- Start date
really asking stocking ideas on here is a bad idea as ive had my biorb p60 thread and its been viewed 55 times and i havent had a single stocking idea but ill give you some options why im so generouse
you could do a
Retropinnis Bichir in their for ages its recomended for 50gs but the foot print of a 40B isnt bad and would be fine for a while would eventually need an upgrade maby to 50gs in the future as they grow 1ft
or
Banded Leporinus they do grow 1ft but would be fine in their for a while but would need an upgrade in the future
or
you could do a lima shovel nose for a while but would out grow eventually as they do grow 1ft 7" but would be fine for a while if introduced as a baby
or
a black ghost knife fish would agen be fine for a while but eventually would need an upgrade as they grow 1ft 6"
or
maby a few badis live 3 female and 1 male they grow 3" and are carnivours pritty amazing fish i like them any way
or
1 african butterfly fish & 2 badis the butterfly fish grow 4" and are amazing serface dwellers
or
a Leopard Ctenopoma their purely amazing and only grow 6"
or
2 crockadile fish they grow 7" but are ambush preadaters and dont need loads of space but are highly preadatory and like a mini gar
or
2 dusky panther gobies they grow 4" and are agein amazing fish and nice and predatory
hope this helps and good look keep us updated

Saltwater fish? It'd make a nice reef tank for a pair of clowns, or maybe a mantis shrimp by itself! Those are wicked cool.
Haha. It's not that hard if you only have a 40b. You wouldn't need a skimmer, and you could probably use live rock as your main filtration, along with powerheads.
I think I might get a mantis shrimp for a small bedside tank maybe...As long as he doesn't keep me awake at night with his banging.

'O'opu akupa
(also known in English as Akupa Sleeper, Hawaiian Sleeper, Oopu, and Sandwich Island Sleeper)
Eleotris sandwicensis (Vaillant & Sauvage, 1875 )
A true Native Hawiian predator which could be kept in a 40 g with good filtration (and some rocks).
If I was you I wouldnt buy any fish to stock since Hawaii has everything from Firemouths to Jewel cichlids running wild in its resevoirs and streams.
