Plant recomendation (boa)
Ficus is the genus of fig trees. They grow up. Way, way up. Strangler
figs, pagoda figs, the are all Ficus species. If you give them the
room, they get huge and grotesque. There's a mid-sized Ficus benjimina
(the 'typical" indoor potted plant ficus) outside my front door here in
Irvine, I live on the second floor and the tree still towers way above
me when I'm going out, and sheds its leaves on the balcony. There are
several rubber figs and other Ficus species on campus (one of which
looks like some kind of pagoda or strangler fig) all good sized trees.
As potted plants, you can keep them small by keeping them in a pot that
doesn't let their roots grow too much. Any one small enough to stay in
a 60 gallon aquarium would get skooshed by a boa in no time, though.
