Fish Fanatic
Well, I'm tired of what I've been doing now...I'd like to divulge into owning just 1 species of fish, OR, quite bigger fish where I could only house 1 or 2 or so, and feed them primarily live fish.
Don't ask why, but that's what I REALLY want.
So, either a gourami only tank, I LOVE gouramis, simply adore them. I was thinking a hexagonal tank, but I've never had anything but the usual rectangle shaped tanks and wasn't too sure if:
1) It's suitable enough for gouramis, but I mean...they are top level swimmers for the most part
2) It's big enough for them, which coincides with #1
Not sure how big yet, my work (Big Al's Fish aquarium services, dunno if you've heard of it) has, to my knowledge, 18 and.... 35? gallon hexagon tanks for sale right now, where I can get them for cheaper. But, if a bigger size is needed, that's ok. I'm not looking to get a Giant gourami, more just some Gold, Chocolate, Blue, Platinum/Moonlight, Pearl, Dwarf, Thick-Lipped, maybe Croaking, mainly nothing that exceeds 5 to 6 inches. Obviously the 18g is too small, but would the 35 do it? I havn't looked it it, so I don't know the dimensions but I have a strong feeling the answer is no. Which of course, is no problem, I can find a bigger one somewhere, but I'd like to ask you guys. What size of hexagonal tank is best for a gourami-dominated tank? I'll most likely have some other fish in there to have SOME diversity and new colours, such as perhaps 1 or 2 millennium rainbows, and neon and/or cardinal tetras. No barbs since it'll be a well-planted tank.
So does anyone here have any experience with hexagonal tanks?
THEN, lol, my other choice, is a nice 150 gallon tank with just some sort of badass fish in it. I was thinking probably an Arowana and a Silver Clown Knifefish. Or...maybe just an Oscar, I dunno. A "companion fish" is what I'm aiming at here, and wondering which is, for lack of a better term, "the best" to own. I guess, which ones, if any, have you had the best experience with? In terms of uniqueness, aggressiveness, maintenance is no problem, as I take care of them at work, but obviously don't have much experience in actually owning one. Which is the best experience you've had?
Sorry if these questions are kind of broad...hope you can help.
