Aquarium Advice Addict
Hello,
I have been in every area of the aquarium hobby in the last 5 years. I currently have a 220g sps reef tank however due to a new job and new obligations I dont have time that my SPS Reef tank requires to stay healthy. I dont want to get rid of my aquarium I just want something lower maitnence. So I am thinking about going back to freshwater for the time and just putting my Saltwater equipment in storage.
I am looking for some ideas on fish. I am thinking that the main fish will be a Silver Arowana. When I was in the freshwater hobby before I always wanted one but only had a 75g tank. My 220g tank should make a nice home for one. What other fish should I include in the tank? I am thinking I will have to do larger fish and I am happy with this I have always liked big fish best anyways.
I am here for ideas however so give me ideas that dont include the Arowana as well. I am a very experienced fish keeper nothing should be out of my knowledge range. The tank will be mainly driftwood, rock and gravel.
I am not interested in planted tanks. My 75g tank was a hi tech planted tank and that took a lot of time to maintain as well. I am looking for something that is still exciting to look at but also lower maitnence. Lots of people come to my house and everyone loves my saltwater tank so I need to give them a new WOW facter if I am going to be changing to freshwater.
Another thought I had was a group of Fontosa's
