Fish Fanatic
I've just been told that someone's got a free tank + fish up for grabs, so I've said I'll take it! It's about 36" long I've been told, but I'll measure it all up properly when I pick it up in the next few days.
It's coming with some fish, not entirely sure what as yet, but heard kuli loaches, harequins (sp?) and silver sharks as some of the inhabitants, but there were many more, which makes me think that it'll probably be over stocked, but anyhow, I doubt I'll be keeping much if any of the stock, which I'll just sell to the lfs.
So the big question is what to do with the tank! I've already got one 29US gal tank in my room, home to neons & xray tetras, panda corys, a BN, some shrimp and a pair of dwarf gouramis, so was considering something different with this tank.
I quite like the idea of a species tank, for example puffers, but think that dwarf puffers may get a bit lost in that tank, South American puffers could do ok in there, 2 or 3 of them, but not massively keen on the idea of dentistry on them, and not really up for doing a brackish tank, which rules out lots of other species.
I'm open to all suggestions, personally I'm thinking along the lines of a smaller amount of bigger fish, as opposed to a bigger amount of smaller fish, as the bigger they are the more personality they often seem to have! So any ideas...
