| Right I am going to use this to plan out my new tank! I want to go with a feature tank of Black Bar Myleus' because I absolutely adore them! so would like to have a shoal of them in my 300L(ish) tank. But I was wondering if you guys had any ideas/inspiration for other inhabitants... I love Bichirs (smaller ones obviously) But all ideas welcome!!  |

| Interesting choice, Matty. I've never seen the appeal of Silver Dollars myself but each to their own.  Whynitica has some nice video footage of his ones in his tank thread.

| Bichir and any plec that will not fit in it's mouth can go together no problem. Wouldn't trust one with a Zebra Plec for example LOL.
If you go for ropefish get at least 3 - they don't do well alone and the larger the group the better. |

| Great that you are planning a new tank Matt. Did you see anything decent at your lfs. 300litres is a nice size tank so you could have a great display in there |
