Help Me Choose 150G Stocking?

[Davo86]

I voted for the Puffer, but as you seem keen on Discus I would go for 7 large Discus, 7 Clown Loach, 1 Black Ghost Knife, possibly a big group of Whiptails, and a large shoal of Emperor Tetras to finish

if you havent made up your mind by now.. you may as well drop it round mine and let me take the hassle of choosing lol

150 gallons !!!
I'd go for a Great White shark with an Orca to keep it company

thats sounding a spot on selection

I've kept a big BGK with big discus befroe with no issues although I think I;d leave it out this set up

Shelagh it'll be a slow one cos first job is to move tank paint back and make a new hood

plus mrs is in a mood as I bought a Blue Tongue skink today and she thiks we;re overrun with animals!!

 

[simonas]

well the tank is empty and I;ve managed to clear all substrate out and moved it where I wanted to move a long time ago. Plus took the opportunity to paint the back and sides blue

 

[simonas]

filters all cleaned out and connected up need to get some sand this week

 

[simonas]

yay sands in!!! took ages cleaning it out and all my fingers wrinkled now. water all in as well I;d forgotten how long that took to fill!!!

 

[england]

chop chop si, iam not getting any younger

 

[simonas]

well some progress made anyway

it looks much better with the blue background and the nice sand tyhat cost me a few quid

Looking good Simonas

Is the filter a mature one, or are you cycling it? Or are you going to seed it with mature media and/or sponges?
Just wondering, as I can't wait to see some fish life in there!

theres my old external running on it at moment. Its not empty although looks it, my mates Channa Auranti is in there its about 12 inches

can;t wait for him to take that back so I can start planting and getting the tetras in there for now

What Tetra's you going for? Congo's?

I'd go for discus as they mature they get a lot less boring (shy). And if you put the work in you really notice how much your discus enjoy it and begin to get happier and part of the family. Mine currently line up at the front of the tank whenever I walk by

Would love to have discus (or rays - but that wasn't an option!)

was thinking of rummys and cardinals to be honest. Last time I kept discus in a tank with half the volume I love the 20 odd mix of these tetras. This time I;d like a good load of tetras in there as I reckon the tank could handle it
