What Stocking In A 566 Us Gallon Tank

[Davo86]

Paroon sharks are just as bad a choice as Alligator gars, All but one species of pangasius will reach 30"+ with the paroon being potentially the biggest (8ft in the wild)
Paroons will often attack other fish that are half their size or bigger, so imagine what a 2ft specimen could do to most of those fish.

Also your tank isn't going to seem that big, especially once you have a 34" silver aro, 20" Knife, and 20" Giant Gourami, You simply can't underestimate the amount of stocking they will take up, and not to mention the amount of waste they will make.

I would be looking at the following although depending on filtration that could be even be pushing it;

1 x tiger oscar
1 x common plec
2 x spotted sevs
10 x silver dollars
1 x lima shoval nose
1 x perruno aswell
1 x silver arowana
1 x giant gourami
2 x uaru
1 x clown knifefish

How about 1 zillion Neon Tetras

 

[Liam50]

i would go with.






1 x tiger oscar
1 x common plec
2 x spotted sevs
6 x tinfoil barbs they are by far better than skittish dollars
1 x lima shoval nose
1 x perruno
1 x silver arowana
2 x uaru
1 x clown knifefish
1 x ornate birchir

tinfoils are a far dirtier fish than dollars and also larger, a 3 foot sump isn't close to big enough to filter that tank.

oh really that sorta sucks

what about this

1 x tiger oscars
2 x common plecs
2 x spotted sevs
10 x silver dollars
1 x lima shoval nose
2 x kissing gouramis
1 x sun catfish
1 x perruno
1 x silver arowna (illl get one when all the other fish are grown up)
1 x giant gourami
2 x uaru
1 x fire eel
1 x clown knifefish


the sump will be

4.9ftX2.9ftX2.8ft LxWxH

holding 191 us gallons on its own

That does sound like a good stocking list in my oppinion
if you can find the redhooks they look awesome,however i have a beautiful spotted dollar which get a bit bigger than the redhooks.
i would be inclined to steer away from kissing gourmai mainly cos i dont like em and up the group of uaru to five

 

[bae1994]

so bearing in mind the total volume will be 757 us gallons or 2866 litres

would this work

1 x tiger oscars
2 x common plecs
2 x spotted sevs
10 x silver dollars
1 x lima shoval nose
1 x sun catfish
1 x perruno
1 x silver arowna (illl get one when all the other fish are grown up)
1 x giant gourami
5 x uaru
1 x fire eel
1 x clown knifefish

How about get Gibbiceps instead of Common also? or one of each? I find Gibbis alot prettier.

Or if you want to spend the money get a Royal or 2?

i have to agree, i find gibbiceps some of the best looking plecs around, with the best personality.

 

[england]

yes i think it could work sounds like filteration should be good aswell, im posting some pics in a minute of my gibbicep hehe...most of my 5ft community tank

 

[bae1994]

i have to have atlleast 1 common plec as i love them although royals and gibis are awsome could i have

1 common

[Cichlid_Crazy]

You could have all 3 in a tank that size.

 

[bae1994]

[bae1994]

1 x tiger oscars
1 x sailfin plec
1 x royal plec
1 x gibbi plec
2 x spotted sevs
10 x silver dollars
1 x lima shoval nose
1 x sun catfish

Sail Fin and Gibbi are the same thing....commons are the big ugly ones with the boney plates all over them.
