need some suggestions for my 200 gallon tank, its empty :(

by infin

i had a 14" freshwater stingray but he passed on this weekend, so not i have an empty tank.

tanks is 8ft long and 2ft wide and 16" tall.

I have estes white sand on the bottom.

I am leaning twoards a chiclid tank, but im not sure if the white sand will go with rocks well.

Any suggestions what to fill the tank with? pictures?

thanks!

I think white sand would look awesome with rocks, and the cichlids. Is your tank cycled?

White sand, rocks and cichlids are a great combination. Its really about whatever you like. Its also a great size tank for a planted amazon tank like fishkeeper says.

Hey, I'd love to see pics of your stingray - how cool!

I think white sand against dark rocks and the bright colors of Africans looks awesome!

Discus planted tank would be my choice, no questions asked
you can also get freshwater sting ray to go with them, and the sand would be awesome with their colour!
