Jesse:

May I recommend "red belly pacu" as sold in Canada or your favorite species
of bass?  (Big eaters, but endless fun to tie a worm to a string and "fish")

You could also spend some time at monsterfishkeepers.com.

Subject: [GSAS-Member] Big Tank Suggestions

Good morning,

I'm looking for some suggestions on what I could stock my new tank with.
It's a 6 ft 250 Gal tank with a 50 Gal sump.  Currently, it's empty and
needs some more final work to get the plumbing and stand finished, but
it's looking good for this winter.

I've been tossing back and forth whether I would prefer a few big fish
or a lot of small/medium sized fish.  I've decided that I'd prefer to
keep some larger stock in this one.

So, what I'm hoping for is some suggestions of larger size fish that
would make an interesting display.  I'm picturing something in the 8" -
16" range and hopefully with some schooling behavior.  Shapes and colors
would be nice too. I'm not really looking to breed anything, just
display.  It would be best if they can survive on their own for a few
days at a time without maintenance too.

Thanks for your input!

Jesse
