Yet another Stocking suggestion thread - 220 gallon tank

[kageh124]

So, I'm about to get my hands on a 220 gallon tank (6 x 2 x 2.5) and it looks like my baby fish that are in my 55 gallon grow out tank are going to have a new home a lot sooner than I expected.

So far, my grow-out tank has the following (all of them are about 2.5 - 3 inches max with the exception of 1 or 2 fish

2 - red tail tinfoil barbs (2 inches each)
1 - irredescent shark (3 inches)
1 - silver Arrowana (2.5 - 3 inches tops)
1 - red tail shark (2.5 inches)
1 - brown african knife fish (about 3.5 inches)
1 - black ghost knife (about 3.5 inches)
1 - jag (about 2.5 inches - at the moment he seems a bit docile... but I'm keeping a close eye on him)


I know most of these guys can get pretty large but I figure I'd ask anyway if anyone had any other suggestions.

Get rid of the Jag he will only cause trouble for your oddballs. I have a 225 right now and I will tell you my stock maybe it will give you Ideas,

x1 Giant Gourami 14"
x2 tinfoil barbs 10"
x2 ornate bichirs 8" + 12"
x1 short body senegal bichir 7"
x1 clown knife fish 12"
x1 common pleco 17"
x1 florida gar 16"
x1 giant snakehead 8"

In the end as everything gets larger and time goes on I will probably end up with either the gourami or snakehead in there with maybe another fish or two. Bare in mind the tank is 3 feet wide. My community works wonders for me right now

NOT going to work. That giant snakehead is going to destroy everything in the tank.
