125G overstocked?

Monos can grow to a foot. To house a school of them, you'd need 300g+. Columbian sharks can grow to 18". Since they also like to school, why not get a few more? Very impressive tank it would be!

shopping list: shoal of monos, 1 more shark and a shoal of archers. perfect. thanks guys.

I think pufferpunk meant just a school of silver tips.

Exactly! Maybe he's just joking?

I had a couple of Shark Cats and they grow fast. When I bought them I didn't read up on them. I ended up taking them back because they seemed so unhappy in my tank. Up to you though but if you're asking our opinion, I'd say that you'll need a bigger tank for all of those fish.

My favorite brackish water fish are the GSP's and the scats. I've never had any scats, but one day when I get a bigger tank I'll get some.

well, i've had mine for about 8 months and they're still only 5"... the biggest i've seen only about 8".

i've decided to go with a 210 stocked with 3 shark cats, 4 monos and a single archer. There will be adequate filtration and water flow.

Any fish has the ability to grow larger than their wild size in captivity, given nough room & proper foods. If the largest you've seen them at was 8", then either of those needs haven't been met.

I would possibly not get the school of monos, considering how active and large they get.

 

[mcox3]

okay, well i want a school of brackish fish... what would you recommend?

 

[Pufferpunk]

You already have schooling fish, just get some more for a school of them. I'm telling you, a school of adult Columbian sharks is quite impressive!

That would look sooooo shweet...
