New Tank, What Would You Put In It?

[star4]

Hubby picked up another tank yesterday, unfortunately its still in the car as I cant lift it let alone carry it with him upto the house I know what I am going to put in it but just out of curiosity what would you stock in a tank.
54" long x 30" wide x 16" high, Just over 400l (I think)

festivum cichlids or a gt

I've recently gone through a phase of wanting a female red terror. These can look stunning. I would say you have room for a pair of these fish given the dimensions of the tank.

Another option would be a south american biotope (1 school of tetra, a few dwarf cichlids, a school of cory's - lots of bogwood and plants with a sandy substrate).

With a tank of those dimensions, you have a lot of options open to you. I can think of a ton of ideas, but at the end of the day its your tank - so any ideas to narrow down suggestions would be helpful.

Redmoor Wood with Java moss slowly creeping up the roots. With lushious Anubias nana and thin spindly leaved Java Fern inbetween the bulky "base" parts of the wood. Scattered over a sand substrate with small rounded flat pebbles dotted here and there. Perhaps a shoal of Melanotaenia Praecox and a nice mini efficient army of otos to help with algae.

This isnt just a tank, this is an M&S tank Lol

Green terrors and jack dempseys with raphael cats, and a lima shovelnose would be cool

Unfortunately not. Just one off google images.

Compatibility will be an issue, RT and Midas are two fish with a lot of potential aggression. Lots of variables too...tank size, size of midas and RT, how long the midas has been in the tank and the indiviual fishes personalities.

i would be tempted to do a brackish setup or buy that porcupine puffer for sale in the classified adds.
