Get a fire eel they are really cool and you can hand feed them.

Dojo Loach. I love them so much! Mine recently passed away, but they are so amusing to watch!

I would highly suggest some kind of whale. I think you could keep at least 2 whales and around 10,000 guppies.

They are cool, just not a huge fan of them.

Predator tank is what I would do with 180 gallons. School of hujeta gar. And platys with hiding spots so that some always live, but you wouldn't have to buy feeders.

I appreciate the suggestions guys, but I already said that I want a community tank. I don't think gar or an arowana would fall into that category.

Do wild caught or pure wild species of south american fish. Like altum angels

Pretty sure that altum angels are a lot per fish... Plus, I don't really like wild caught fish.

 

[Puckhog429]

I think they are too but not sure. Just an idea

a big school of denison barbs would be cool

Right now I am leaning towards
Angels, Apistos/Rams, Cory Cats, Geos, a couple plecos, and 4-5 largish schools of fish. That would be if I go the south american theme.

If I go the pretty scaped thing, it would be:
Angels, Apistos/Rams, Cory Cats, a female betta sorority(?), a couple plecos, and 4-5 largish schools of fish, with possibly a few upside down cats. I really like those

Would that even be enough fish??

 

[Puckhog429]

The bettas would be cool. In a big tank with lots of cover you could do quite a few bettas

Yes I was thinking about 12.

 

[Puckhog429]

If you were looking to save some money you could breed some bettas, sort out the females and sell the rest. Theyre very easy to breed

[Scottyhorse]

Nah, I don't really want to breed them.

I reckon you're on to it with that mix. I can't go past a zebra danio for a schooling fish. So much life and school personality. I'd like you to get 30-40 odd harlequin rasboras too so I can see the pics of them shoaling!

Harly rasbora's would be cool. They're really pretty in a large school.

Forgot to add I will have my three gold barbs in there somewhere as well.

I like the look of both angels and rams I currently have platinums with my german blue and gold rams.

 

[Scottyhorse]

Now I just need to figure out which option I will go with out of the two.
