    Default Aquarium Idea Help

    Hey, I am Brian, I am looking to start a new freshwater tank, and am stumped on ideas. I prefer aggressive or territorial fish, and am leaning towards catfish. I have kept Plecostamus in the past and they did quite well, though I had to sell them as I moved. I would prefer more than one species in the tank if possible. Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to the AC Brian,

    Since this is the introduction thread you will get more replies by posting your question in the general forum, Including the tank size you are working with [or planning on] will help the answers be more relevant.


    EDIT: Well.. One of those forums :-P.

    Welcome to the forum

    But yea, as others pointed out you'll need to post more info about your setup before anyone can help with stocking suggestions; at a minimum we'll need the tank size and then we can recommend appropriate equipment from there if needed.
