You think I could have in my 5ft x 2ft 1 oscar 1 4 lined pim 4 silver dollar

What would you suggest for my 110. A shovelnose would be too big. Any other suggestions ?

Thank you for your help I will look into them. My plan was to have my one Oscar, a shoaling fish of some kind and then a unique catfish. I like “shark looking” catfish that don’t get too big. Any suggestions on this? Also what about a single Severum in this tank?

Flagtail characin is that I had in mind. Or possibly a Severum with him

I am currently cycling my 5ft by 2ft (110 gallon) tank. I am going to be putting in a juvenile (2-3 inch) Oscar in there and am really REALLY undecided on what tank mates to add with him. Flagtail? Pleco? Silver dollar? Please someone make my decision easy for me with suggestions Thank you

Just wanted a second opinion I guess. Dad didn’t build the house we are in so can’t be 100% in it’s capabilities so just wanted a second opinion

Thankfully mate yes my dad is a bricklayer and builder and his opinion is it should be fine. And with it being his house I’m sure he’d be extra cautious is giving me advice aha The concrete wall beneath does run 90 degrees to the joists and are 100% under the tank, jus unsure as to whether...

The support wall under my room is 2 blocks either side of a garage door and a row on blocks in top. In relation to where abouts it will sit under my tank I know for definite that it sits under the tank, but unsure until I measure exactly where it sits. The 2 tanks were on opposite ends of my...

The tank is 60 inch in length and 24 inch back to front. Only reason I am asking is due to I’ve had my current 180 there for 6 years and have never had any change. So just trying to get as much info before the upgrade to a 400l. The tank will be rested against the outer wall of my house, and...

The joists will actually be running parallel to the tank, but the tank will be up against the exterior wall of my house, and will also be directly above my garage which is concrete blocks all around.

I have a 400 litre fish tank with a custom built timber stand that is going to replace the 180 litre tank in my bedroom. It will be right up against the wall which is also the outer wall of my house (brick wall) but will be running the same way as my joists. I feel as long as it’s up against...

I have a 5x2 aquarium custom built which I’m going to be putting a juvenile Oscar in I am wondering what tank mates I could put with him/her in a tank this size. Roughly around 130-140 gallons I believe. Maybe flagtail tetra? Tinfoil barb? Please leave some suggestions Thank you

Thank you so much for your help mate

Thank you, my tank is 150cm by 50cm and my stand is 100cm by 40cm. With this thick marine plywood and metal brackets at each corner it should be ok right The plywood will be slightly bigger then my tank

I’ve already got a juwel fish tank stand that is 100cm by 40cm. Do you think if I got a thick bit of plywood cut to the size of my new tank which is 150cm by 52cm and added it on top of my fish tank stand it would be ok? Weight wise my stand can hold up 500kg according to note book. adding the...
