| I have a 90 gallon tank, that currently houses angels. I've decided to downsize them to a 56 gallon, and keep only a few. So I will have an empty, healthy fully cycled 90 gallon tank that I have no clue what to stock. I'd like something interesting, a little unique, and compatible of course. I've thought African Cichlids, some type of eel, or ropefish...but I want this one to be unique. I currently have other tanks that I could switch around...but I have also considered trying my hand at brackish...I really have no clue, and guess I'd like to see what you all would do with it. I don't have a price range really...so dream away...thought this might be fun. Thanks for the input

| Preference. If you're going to make it brackish, buy a pond hygrometer to measure the salinity. Marine hygrometers are just too high-ranged. Here's an idea... I love Denison Barbs. These guys grow to 6 inches, like fast flowing water, cost $25 or so each, school (yup, the perfect recipe for money expenses), and are beautiful.

My local store needs to raise their prices, they are selling in the 12 range.

| Heh, the Denisons at my place are $8.99, a steal. Archerfish are brackish, school (6 or more), grow to 8 inches and ARE SO COOL TO WATCH!! But the hardest part is to feed it... many people grow either bog plants or use a make-shift "branch", put food on it (bloodworms, insects...) and watch them spit and dinner is served! I like them too, it's just too many preferences and they need a species tank if to be kept properly.

In my experience they are fine in smaller schools then smaller schooling fish are.
Like everything in this hobby alot is opinion and what works for some wont work for others.
All the tanks I have seen dont have the water level to the top, and a space left to have plants or driftwood sticking from the top to ease feeding.
I just read a recent article in one of the magazines, however I dont recall off the top of my head which one.
