Yodapwnsasmurf Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Just wondering if many people out there have any really big tanks with really small fish in them. I think some of the smallest fish I've seen in a large tank would be Donny's Peacocks and I can't say they are really 'small'. Are large tanks reserved for monster keepers and American Cichlids? Or are there 10ft tanks with mini ecosystems & Bristlesnose & Neons & Khuli Loaches & Killifish??? Just interested really, because it's something I'd like to one day have, a tank where you can have predators and prey breeding without declining numbers. Thanks, Finn.

TED Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Gday mate, I have a 6x2x2 full of peppermints and tiger endlers. I do also have 1 common pleco (18/19 yr old), 1 gibby adult male, and 1 royal pleco in the same tank, buuuut once i get my new set-ups running there will be one 6x2x2 with nothing in it except peppermints and tiger endlers......

rainbowrunner Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) Does this one qualify? Lots of small fish although a few of the rainbows are quite big Not sure about predators and prey in the same tank, reckon the prey would just get wiped out eventually Although I have had a Killifish tank with small shrimp and some of those survived inside a log Edited August 20, 2013 by rainbowrunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yodapwnsasmurf Posted August 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Awesome tank rainbow! Would be cool to see some bottom dwellers in there! And TED, get some pics up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milwocky Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 I've just sold my peacock bass and bought 100 kg of coral sand and a lot of lava rock, going to put about 150 Malawi fry in the 8ft. I built the filtration for sting rays so it should suffice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainbowrunner Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Awesome tank rainbow!Would be cool to see some bottom dwellers in there! thanks [MENTION=4899]Yodapwnsasmurf[/MENTION] there is 4 peppermints in there as bottom dwellers but rarely see them This tank will go outside as a planted tank soon, all the fish are back in a pond atm. I want to create what was done in my 4ft as below but on a larger scale, just need a 6x2 alloy or steel stand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
