stocking a 100gal community

[munkee]

if you had to stock a 100gallon from scratch (no real plants..) what would you put in it? o yea.. you would have to stock a school of tiger barbs..

A group of raimbows would bw ideal. Bosemani's, turquois, Axelrodi's , praecox would all be great = or some of each.
Or, how about a bunch of cherry barbs or rosy barbs?

 

[friend of oscar]

If it were me I would get these.

pair of angels
24 cherry barbs
12 congo tetras
a few dwarf gouramis or the pearl ones
a dozen or so cories
and maybe some neons or leopard danios


Not sure about what else.

Maybe an Iridescent Shark, some silver dollars, and those tiger barbs.

hmm... the angels sound nice, but i wouldnt put any neons with them.

heh, i would get an or a few irridesent sharks if i had the space but i wouldnt cram it into my 100.

anyone else with suggestions..?

12 tiger barbs,,,(green & normal)
6\7 cories -- jullii or panda..
4\5 thomasi cichlid...

synondontis angelicus..

munkee, an Iridescent Shark would not be stuffed in that tank. My cousin-in-law had an Iridescent Shark in a 40 gallon tank for seven years. It was about a foot long.

uh...read their profiles and search this site for "iridescent shark", also, do a search on google as well and you will be surprised.

and in a 40 gallon tank? does it even have enough room to do a complete turn?

NJ, you recommend that for a 100G tank?

This may sound terrible, but I have 2 silver dollars and i HATE them. One of the kids picked them out and I just don't like 'em.
