Fish for a 250 gallon tank

[Oscar_fishkeeper]

A lot of unanswered questions here. Tank is 250 but what are the dimensions? What are the avarage adult sizes of the fish you'd like to keep? If say the tank is 8×2 then I think both of your main fish ideas will be a no. I haven't owned pbass I don't care for how they look so I don't know exact adult size but I think 20" isn't impossible. That would give the fish 4" front to back imo not enough. I know the gar can easily exceed that length so again no.

it is 8x2 so I’m not getting the gar but do you have any other suggestions

I may have mistook you for someone else,but aren't you 10? How'd you get a 250?

and to let everybody know I’m not getting the gar

My tank is 8x2 im not going to get a florida gar ang other suggestions

think kelberi would be fine. u can do bichirs for bottom dwellers perhaps.

Kelberi are one of the smaller peacock bass species only reaching about 16-20” in captivity

and to let everybody know I’m not getting the gar

I think the kelberi bass would be fine if it’s 8x2. Average Florida gar ranges from 18-24” so a 2ft width wouldn’t be ideal

and to let everybody know I’m not getting the gar

Don’t you have to be 13 or older to sign up or something like that otherwise your parents have to have a say in it?

You'll need to answer those questions yourself mostly. I don't know what you are interested in. Personally if I'm buying a tank I pretty much already know what I'm putting in it. Sometimes plans change but for the most part I know. If I were you I'd do some googling on fish you are interested in check out their max size and water parameters see if they are compatible in those ways and then maybe come back to "us" with a proposed plan.

No I’ve listened to the other people so I will not be getting a gar
