IDK if you guys are familiar with Cracked.com, but it essentially is a comedy website that has interesting "lists" and the like which shows pretty true information, but presented in a funny way.
I'm trying to write an article to see if it gets accepted, and the title is "X badass things you can keep in a fish tank."
I have most of it down, but I realized that I'm lacking in the freshwater department, right now I have
-super aggressive fish (such as jaguar cichlids)
-angler/frogfish
-horseshoe crabs
-mantis shrimp
-stingrays (freshwater and saltwater)
-palythoa coral
-jellyfish
-lionfish
-maybe sharks? I know they are very difficult to deal with at the beginning but can they adjust to aquarium life afterwards? I've seen plenty of videos of stingrays, hence why I've added them despite their difficulty, but I've seen less of sharks.
I'm kind of looking for things that can be kept properly in a fish tank, so I'm not going to add blue ringed octopus for example.
I'd also prefer if the animal in question (fish or otherwise) can be kept in a commercially available fishtank instead of something you have to customize. I'm not sure what is the largest commercially available, I know liveaquaria's biggest is 300 gallons. A LFS has a 500 display tank but I'm not sure if they would actually sell you one, I figure I'll have to ask there later.
Anything I'm missing? The more bizarre, the better.
Thank you!
