I dunno...this thread is starting to make less and less sense the further it goes, and it didn't make that much sense to begin with.
"Gee...I really want a Tiger Datnoid, but my whole aquarium is shorter than the actual fish...hmm, what to do, what to do? Oh, I know...I'll get a Marbled Hatchetfish and it'll be just as good!"
"Giant Gourami! I love Giant Gouramis. The single most overriding characteristic of the Giant Gourami is...wait for it...it's a giant! I'm sure that a Dwarf Gourami, roughly the size of a Giant Gourami's eyeball, will scratch that itch!"
And it goes on and on. Bloodfin Tetras instead of Tinfoil Barbs? Bettas standing in for Arowanas? Oh, the humanity....
This is the Monster Fish Keeper forum. The focus is monster fish. If you want monster fish, you simply must invest the time, money and space to provide a suitable monster home; it takes all three of those, one or two just don't cut it. Small fish are wonderful in their own right...I am unabashedly a small fish fan...but regardless of all their appealing characteristics, they simply aren't giants and can't be expected to substitute for them.
Or, am I being too close-minded about this? Gee, beats me...maybe?
I'll recheck this thread when I get back home. My granddaughter wants a pony; we're taking her to get a hamster. I'll report back whether or not she notices the switcheroo.

I've always thought that Apollo sharks resembled small arowana.
Flatfish is very difficult to feeding...Very slow feeding habits and live or frozen food.
Yeah, and FW tonguefish, unlike Achirus, can live in FW long-term
Most Achirus species will die prematurely in full fresh
