special juice's 240 gallons of FOWLR glory!- Not so FOWLRish anymore!

He has a three tank QT system in his store. One of the three tanks are usually empty and that's where my fish will go. I just transferred all the fish from my 75 over, so I'm waiting a few weeks before I add anything else. I only plan to add one more "big" fish and some sort of schooling fish. Everyone at my LFS are pushing me to add more, but like you I want plenty of room for what's already in there. The norm quote I hear "Dude, it's 300 gallons, you can fit anything in there".. I just don't see it. I really want an Annularis Angel, but I'm on the fence.

 

Awesome to see a FOWLR like this, spent the last half hour going through all the posts! I really liked where you were going with the butterflies, too bad it didn't work out, but certainly picked good fish as "replacements"!!

 

I wanted some bannerfish/butterflies in my tank and my LFS warned me off of them because of these reasons. He said they are near impossible to keep so don't feel bad.

 

I hear the same thing from some people at one one of the LFS that I shop at. I think that they figure they can talk large tank owners into cramming as many fish into their tanks as possible. I think the Annularis is a good choice.

 

Thanks for the feedback. At one point I was really obsessed with having butterflies in the tank, but I'm happy with my current inhabitants. I can't wait to get my Maculosus out of QT- less than a week left.

 

Is your Maculosus a white stripe or a yellow stripe variety?

 

Yellow stripe

 

Those are super cool, and big! Can't wait to see him in your DT!

 

Thanks! Mine is about 4,1/2" (for now). Starting to change color.

 

Last fish added yesterday! (Maculosus Angel) Tank is stocked! Whooohoooo! Time to tear down a couple of QT tanks (I'll keep a 20 long running).
