150 gallon

[Moep621]

Hey so i got a 150 gallon tank and i need some stocking suggestions. Ive kept enty of tanks in the past but only max before this was a 55. The 150 i got is the 6 foot one (long). Some of my conditions i guess you could say are
-id like big fish. A few that get to good size
-i like "weird" looking fish that have nice color (who doesnt)
-i really like a ghost knife fish, humphead geophagus, and catfish but im not limited to them at all
Please leave lots of suggestions. Thanks!

Probably not. Buenos Aires Tetras are big and very fast. I've got a school of 10 BA's in my 120 with numerous aggressive New Worlds as well as Botia Modesta Loaches. No problems.

Toxotes Blythii "clouded archers" are kind of different and interesting top dwellers. Not too sure how big they get, but everything I have read suggests 6".

You have so many great options. I really like the blythii idea. If you aren't opposed to brackish scats and monos fit the bill for large, odd, and nicely colored. I like fire eels they are pretty personable. Erythrinus are another cool unusual fish. A fahaka is good large fish. Some of the medium size pikes would be cool in there. For schooling fish you might be pushing it on size but I like the pink tailed chalceus, or a little smaller mascara barbs are cool if you can find them. Water cows are odd but not colorful if you want a big goby. You could probably spawn jade gobies in there.
