purplecatfish Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 I'm after a medium to large sized fish for a planted tank (2.5m long, 700L). Range: Mid to Top. Not aggressive. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruju Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 bala shark, BGk, congo tetras, Pink tailed chalceus, not too many fish that are large with no aggression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplecatfish Posted February 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Thanks Fruju . Bala Shark's an interesting idea but I think they need to be in a school (don't know minimum though), so I'm not too sure about half a dozen foot long fish in an 8 foot tank. Could be cool though 8) . And the Chalceus is an aggressive predator :evil: so that's a no go. Congo tetras are definitely a possibility. Oh, and before anyone suggests it I'm not really interested in Discus. They're a beautiful fish but I think they are a 'too high maintenance' fish. Maybe when I retire in a few decades .
