    Ok... but after grow out period, what size tank do you want to set up as permanent?
    Im asking because that would give an idea of what exotic/strange fish you can consider..

    order from a shop maybe, delhezi and senegal are easiest to find. I got a captive bred one from a shop and a wild caught one straight from an importer

    Polys grow to about 50cm if well cared for... minimum tank size recommended is 540l...

    You wouldnt be able to house one, let alone a variety for life in a 300l....

    What about some puffer fish?
