I'm thinking of starting up a new tank, and this time I want to figure out exactly what I want and buy a tank the right size. I was disappointed to find out how limited I was when I bought my 37 gal and realized a good portion of the fish I liked would be too big for it. I got that all sorted out, settled with smaller types of fish and am quite happy with it and its occupants now, but now i wanna try for the fish I wanted at the beginning.
I'm really interested in the weather loaches, rope fish and bichir. Another type of fish I'm all starry eyed for is the Denison Barb.
What I am wondering is if any of these would work together and what size a tank I would need (I am thinking along the lines of a 55-75 gallon but I am flexible). Also if anyone had any ideas on other types of fish that would work with one or two of these fish or fish that are along the same idea as these, that would be awesome.
