Is This A Good Deal?

[guppyluvr]

I just bought a 55 gallon tank with stand and two duo filters and rocks and deco for 75 US dollars is this a good deal?

It would be a good deal in the uk, sounds a bargain to me even in the states.

 

[QuotheRaven]

seems good to me thats about $120 Australian dollars so yeah

 

[guppyluvr]

YAY thats cool!! I'm glad i didn't get screwed lol. Also how many fish can you put in a 55 gallon?

 

[fish-r-fancy]

It depends on the type of fish and of course the filteration. What type of fish where you planning on having?

 

[guppyluvr]

I'm not sure yet but i really like the convict species.

 

[loveyourfish]

What do you mean by convict species?

 

[guppyluvr]

I went to the pet store today and saw several fish named under convict, thats what i meant, but i have a question....Can an oscar go into the tank?

 

[loveyourfish]

LOL hahaha...so you really plan to keep convict species heh? So tell me, is oscar also named under convict? if it is, I might probably able to imagine what other fish are also named under convict.

 

[guppyluvr]

No....Oscar is named under oscar....


Edited to add: Okay i just checked and yup i posted in new to the hobby.

i c, actually i m not good in estimating how big a tank based on gallon/liters. I'm better when i know the length of the tank. I think 55 gallon is a large tank about 3ft in length?
correct me if I m wrong.

If I'm correct, yes you can put oscar in it

 

[guppyluvr]

Thanks, i'll measure it and post later its late i'm heading off for the night.

 

[fish-r-fancy]

I disagree with loveyour fish. You can not keep an oscar in a 55 gallon tank. An oscar in a 75 gallon tank is pushing it. Oscars are messy eaters and pollute a lot of waste and grow to large for a 55 gallon. A standard 55 gallon is like 48x12x21.

Thanks fish-r-fancy, i'm glad you told me that.
