Top - Mid water dwelling fish for SA tank

[mistahoo]

Brycons?

[eklikewhoa]

arapima gets too big and they're pretty ugly, would rather have a nice aro or even an african aro over them.

The GATF looks cool but not that cool. Maybe a dorado, scombs would be kinda cool but they're uglier that crap.

Arapima? Hydrocynus goliath?

Metynnis fasciatus

Those look cool too! seen the pictures of them in the ADG tank but I just got rid of 20 Myleus Schomburgkii so looking for something a bit different.

I have two pikes in my sump right now but they are only like 3" and there's only 2, don't think they grow fast enough.

Pink tail chalceus? In large numbers they look sweet.

I had one with some mahseers and it was cool but not striking cool.

Looking for some ideas for Top - Mid water dwelling fish for my future tank.

Would like for it to be a SA fish but it doesn't have to be.


Not really wanting an arowana anymore since I just got rid of mine, maybe a leucistic jar or african but those don't spark any interest. Thinking about looking for a cheap gar to toss into the tank but wanted to see what others think since my brains draws a blank right now.

Got rid of all my black bar silver dollars as well as my aro so I need something to replace them with to not make the tank look empty.

The Burmese archers are FG look cool as fawk but not sure if they would fair well with the bottom feeding fish.

Needs to be big or get big and fast enough not to become a meal. Also a school of fish would be cool too.



Any suggestions welcomed.
