Imagine having a 600 gallon tank

[TheCommunityCichlid]

I was browsing craigslist and saw an ad for a 600 gallon acrylic tank for $3400. (If your in the market for one I can send you the link. This bad boy is 8 feet long, 4 feet deep and nearly 3 feet tall. If you could have this tank how would you set it up. Lets do freshwater only!

Even that tank is a touch to small for Boulengerochromis.

Altum angels with lots of small schooling fish. Enough to survive the angels snacking on them.

Btw, I think a tank that size full of neons would look pretty impressive. Just a swarming mass of color.

You're talking a 36" fish that's use to big open expanses of water . The 8' tank would work for awhile but realistically you'd need something along the lines of 12x4x4 (1,400 gallons) or pond to accommodated a decent size group long term IMO.

 

[TheCommunityCichlid]

Yea I'm talking 2-3 fish
