Hello,

I just baught a 750liter fishtank, and i want your opinion on what kind of fish to put in it. I want something that looks nice and grows like the Oscar and the Parrot Fish for example.

With 200 gallons, you could do ALOT!. I would do freshwater pond style tank. Large/small mouth, bluegill, crappie, catfish, and gar. Or you could do 4-5 oscars (considering you have one hell of a filter), Dempeys, one hell of a malawi tank, south americans, or another good idea that i would do , needle nosed gar.

you could get 4 or 5 oscars, and a pleco, OR a sweet Salt tank, or a nice cichlid tank.

Well, im going to put this fish tank in my room. I want something that wont make my tank really dirty, but if the fish is good i could buy an additional tank. I want something that looks really nice. I also like seeing my fish grow as i said earlier. I want to try to get away from the goldfish because i hate goldfish.

With a 180g tank, you definitely want to check up on how your floor is built. There are many resources out there on how to check if your joists will hold and where to position your tank over them because that tank will weigh a ton. Literally a ton, 2000 lbs

and 2000lbs going down aint gonna be pretty. Check for where there are supports on your floor.
