An idea spawned from Demented Yogurt's thread: What's your dreamfish!
Or fishes...
Or setup...
PostPosted: Sun Mar 08, 2009 1:40 am


Personally I would like to have a large planted tank with a school of Glass catfish, one or two Redtail Sharks, a few Apistogrammas of some sort or another, and/or Blue rams. And a school of Marble hatchetfish to skim the surface.
From this list I've already kept the shark, rams and hatchetfish, but none of them together.

I would also like to have a large semi pond with Tancho Koi , Dojo Loaches and Daimond Sturgeons.
I say semi pond because I want it to be at least partly above ground with a glass wall on one side. Doubt I'll ever manage this dream though ^^;

something saltwater
probably a huge tank (over 700 gallons) with trigger fish (probably niger triggers) or just a HUGE reef with coral and fish and stuff. it'd be beautiful

I think, that my dream fish, would be a lionfish. I think they are so beautiful, I just do not trust my skills, honestly, to be able to handle salt water at all yet, none the less a poisonous fish.

Cool...I'm about to get some blue rams myself. Any tips?
Also my hubby and I have been taalking about those glass cat for a while now...someday were are going to do a tank of all "ghost fish"...all "see-thru" types. blaugh

But my "dream fish", someday when I feel like I am ready to handle saltwater, I wanna do a species tank of seahorses.

I think would very much like a tank full of giant clown loaches. ^^ that would be amazing. I have some little ones, but I'd like them much bigger. heart

Definitely! I would love a huge reef system so I could keep giant show corals and maybe get a group of dwarf lionfish (much better than volitans!). It would be a pain to maintain, though, but it probably would be totally worth it. heart

actually
the BIGGER the tank the infinitely easier it is to care fo
so 700 gallons in saltwater would be as simple as flipping a switch, drain water, flip another, fill it back up to wherever the top was (if you plumbed it right)

but if you do lions you cant do a "proper reef"
they would eat snails, crabs, shrimp and small fish

I was thinking along the lines of algae scraping and the like. There's a 400 gallon tank in the store I work at, and scraping aglae in there is the worst. It takes FOREVER (If the snapper doesn't bite your hand off first). XD

lol well you have a snapper!
if you didnt have that and you had snails and an algae blenny you wouldnt have to scrape :3
we have a 34 gallon saltwater but its a reef
so nothing is aggressive or eats invertebrates

I had a wonderful angel tank. I guess it's not my dream fish but all the same it was one of my favorite tanks.
