    Good morning Nick

    I have a 1,7m x 60cm (w) x50cm (h) tank. I want to build an internal filter into it and then stock it with fish. Few people told me that the tank is sufficient for keeping and breeding silver dollars. I also thought of keeping and breeding discus.

    I went on the internet and had a look at jaguars and red devils but is there a market for these Fish?? I am not into money making but don’t want to sit with a lot of babies and can’t get rid of them. On Oscars the internet said its to small to keep an breed them

    What would you recommend for my tank??

    Thanks

    Nick

    Hi Nick. Good size for Discus, and will look good planted. Also has good depth as well as width for plants and enough space for the fish. Discus will always be a welcomed sight. Research well though as they are spectaculr, but need good care. Regards Breado
