Stocking In A 6ft By 2ft By 2ft

[demonmagus]

Hi, just wondering would this stocking be good in a 180g?

pair of cons
1 firemouth
1 oscar
6 balas
5 clown loaches



can you think of anything else?

Thanks

severums, bichirs, silver dollars, knife fish theres loooooads!

 

[demonmagus]

so that list+ 1 severum and 1 BGK (or a BP instead of severum)

would that make sense

There's loads, but you can't put them ALL in Sam *lol*.

I'd replace the Bala Sharks with Silver Dollars - much nicer fish that will do better in that size tank, and don't grow as HUGE as Balas

Why dont you get a pair of firemouths instead of cons ? they look alot better in colour , and breed often I think as well

 

[demonmagus]

well I like both tbh...

and I think balas rule , do you think its cruel to give them that space or should they have more?

 

[SamUK]

@ saboy - cos cons rule!



@ kathy- dont u try and stop me!

In an ideal world, Balas need a lot more space sadly. they're a shoaling and active swimming fish so the bigger the better. What about Tinfoil Barbs (the lemon finned ones are particularly gorgeous)? They're more shark shaped and don't get as big

Sam - PMSL! What are you like?!

 

[demonmagus]

oh thats quite dissapointing, oh well

what about those stripy red tailed shark things? (I'll try and get a real name)

aha... flag tailed things!
