I guess most of us after a while get to the stage where MTS becomes ridiculous and too many tanks becomes too expensive.
So the other option if space allows is to get the biggest tank you can afford and put all your stock in one tank.
Big Glass tanks are Hella expensive so sooner or later you'll start to look at the DIY route, Wooden frame and Pond liner or Epoxy coated Plywood tank.
So now you have your 500+ gallon tank what do you put in it?
This question has been with me all afternoon as i've browsed the DIY and Indoor Pond sections on MFK.
Would i build a Monster sized tank and put Plecos in it? Unless we're talking Big Panaques/Pseudas here most Plecs would be dwarfed in such a tank.
So what would you choose?
Obvious Cats would be RTC, TSN, Tigrinus, Lima etc
Personally i'd opt for a group of Megalodoras Irwini <3
Mid level? Cichla definitely, and i probably wouldn't bother with much else. Unless i could get a couple of Bichirs in there.
Arowanas are ok i guess but it would have to be a Super Red or some nice Asian one and frankly thats money i could better spend.. like on a new car or motorbike :lol: and tbh you then have to start adding covers into the equation as you wouldn't want it jumping out. (though obviously covers would be mandatory if keeping Polypterus)
I don't think i'd bother with Potamotrygons either as their not really my thing.
So come on get out your wish lists, what stock would you have in a Monster tank?
