Hello Fishy Friends!
I'm working on a scheme for a tank in my home office. I decided to fill it with fish I've always liked but somehow never actually kept.
First to mind was a Red Tailed Shark! When I was a kid I was fascinated by one in a tank in a pirate ship at the Stride Rite shoe store at the Willow Grove Mall (this mall is now semi-famous from The Goldbergs and Jill Biden). I would give anything to have that pirate ship cabinet!
My concept is a low maintenance, low light setup, an oversized filter for high flow, and lots of rocks, wood, and low light plants. As for tank mates, not many. Maybe a bunch of danios or a small school of barbs (only species I've never kept!).
I'm concerned the tank just won't be big enough once it reaches full size. Those of you with more experience with this fish, what do you think? Thoughts on the concept overall?
Why a 26 bowfront? Because I have one in the garage and it'll fit in the space I have!
