My head hurts, LOL! I thought you had it all figured out.
So now you're venturing into the territory of true monsters. Ornates are cool fish. One shop down in Denver has one that I'm sure is a bit over two feet long regardless of what the max is supposed to be, and probably nearly as big around as a two liter bottle. Impressive fish, but they have him crammed into a custom tank that is maybe 6' long, 18" wide and maybe 14" deep. It's a shame.
The snook is one species I won't ever get, I just don't feel right putting one in a 6' tank even if other people do. Definitely doable in that tank though. I think I'd go with an umbie if I ever get there. Maybe I will get there some day...? who knows. I'm still young, relatively. I keep telling myself that if I build the greenhouse Mrs. WYite wants for her that's a lot of credit to play with. ? That's a lot of work, though. A lot of work.
So what are you going to do with your pike haps?
