What is your bucket list aquarium?

[Mississippi fish guy]

Mine would be a diy aquarium large enough to keep a wolf fish (Hoplias malabaricus) or a spotted gar if the wolf fish turned out to be illegal. It would have lots of plants and lots of hardscape. Also I would want to try colony breeding chilli rasboras, CPDs, and possibly one or two more species of nano fish to n the tank as well. I would probably build a refugium as the filter.

Easily a 75+ gallon planted community tank. I just love seeing giant schools of neon tetras in giant tanks.

100 gallon tank full of tons of nano fish!!!

[Ninjoma]

Tanks large enough for Oscars or black knife fish.

I’m a bit like your brother. It can change every time you ask me. I bounce around between a large oranda goldfish tank. Or a huge geophagus, Oscar, severum, tank. Lately it’s been a good sized mbuna tank. Or even a tank for shell dwellers, Julidochromis, and gold head compessiceps.

Atleast a 100 gallon with a gorgeous angel fish pair. with a gorgeous pleco with maybe some smaller fish scooting around. Heavily planted with driftwood and rock caves.

Probably a 40 breeder or 55 (or heck, why not a 75!) community tank super heavily planted with community fish, gallons of Cory’s on the bottom and Pearl Gouramis or an Angel for centerpiece.

I would also love to keep an Oscar😍

And my slightly more possible bucket list tank is a 7g rimless cube (or rimless long tank - the bookshelf style is so cool!) for chili rasboras and blue neo shrimp. I’d really like to try a dirted tank and make it a crypt garden.

My dream setup would be a 250 gallon aquarium with a nice wooden stand and canopy, in a dark mahogany stain. Add 200 Cardinal tetras, a dozen sterbai cories, a pair of longfin albino ancistrus, a pair of longfin blue-eyed lemon ancistrus, a pair of longfin super red ancistrus, three or four 4'-6' long pieces of driftwood, natural sand substrate, with some crypts & Amazon swords only on one side. Filtration would be a 55 gallon sump underneath, with all the plumbing needed for water changes at the push of a button.

Once that's fully established, add a dozen wild caught Cuipeua Royal discus.

Perfection!

 

(I've done similar with a 135 & domestic bred discus for over 5 years, so I know that I could properly care for them.)

I would love to get a snowflake moray eel one day. And also a rope fish tank as well. They are some of my favorite dream aquatic pets!

One of my favorite moray species. If you get one they love squid. 

I can't afford keeping saltwater fish anymore but my dream aquarium. Large enough to support 2 marbled catshark's.
