instead of filters you could do a sump, you could employ the 40 gallon as a sump.

^^That is another, potentially cheaper, option. Are you good with DIY?

what are you going to put the tank on then?

you can make a stand very easily.

some old kitchen units and some bits of timber, get them braced and built to size. somebody on another forum did this with a 5x2x2

to be honest, you have jumped in with both feet havent you lol - well, look, im not going to roast you alive 'others may because you havent done your research!' IMO you need to earn cash and very quick - i know this sounds stupid, but you need to do what you can job wise, or sell certain things you are prepared too ..maybe on certain web auction sites, and maybe, you can look online for cheap external filters 'which imo is what you certainly need!' and a cheap tank - get ye thinking cap on, your fish need you!!!!

also, did you get the pirahna because of certain vids from youtube or do you really wish to keep this type of fish?

 

[cuzzaUK]

i wanted to keep this type of fish.

i wanted to keep this type of fish.
