Possible Stocking For 6 Foot Tank

[demonmagus]

Hi, I may be getting a 6ft by 2 ft by 2ft tank and I want to know what I could have in it. I was thinking a discus amazon biotope, with discus, angels, cardinals, and a BGK, but does anyone know where bala sharks are 'from' as I am thinking about a tank based around a shoal of them. Also, is this tank big enough for rays or arrowanas at all?

Thanks

does anyone know of a biotope based around balas at all?

I think that 6' is a foot too short for a fully grown arowana, but I think that you could have a smallish sting ray depending on if you are willing to get a slightly wider tank.

Southeast Asia; in large rivers and streams of Borneo, Malaysia, Sumatra, and Thailand. The Bala Shark is nearly extinct in the wild.


checked myself

thanks for that, now I have another decision

balas with rasboras and a BGK, or an Amazonian biotope?

in case its still not workin yur lookin for balas , loaches , barbs and knifefishes. ad 4 plants its crinum , ceratopteris , hygrophila , cryptocoryne , nymphaea. use fine gravel or sand , 6-6.5 ph , 26-29 celcius. it shud b thickly planted

 

[demonmagus]

yeah. It works, ty for your help but know I have that decision.

discus or balas...... hmmmmm, both?
