tuffy_rana Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 murray and barra are both no go in a 4x2x2. i know alot of peeps say "when it gets bigger i will buy another tank" but most people dont. trophs will fit obviously but can you keep em alive? not to sound harsh but i know of alot of troph killa's out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodie03 Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 itd make a nice planted with tropicals - tetras, ghost knifes guppies, endlers. Nice and bright. Lots of green and small tropicals Or you could maybe go a few Africans - A few Peacocks maybe. Then you could also go marine - Marine fish are just awesome - colour definition and colour difference. Also they're really bright usually - I saw a really nice zebra moray eel once at clayfield Aquarium just waiting to go in a nice tank.. you can do absolutely anything with that size tank, but I wouldn't advice large fish - no to barra, cod, saratoga. even Oscars would be hard to agree with but I do prefer to see them in a 6 foot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SFJ Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 great suggestions. execpt marines not really an option at the moment. personally i rekin i could keep trophs. i think your comment is valid. i have never kept them but its always worth a try.
