Need suggestions for new tank!!!

[Gabe]

Ok, I'm getting a 65 gallon(US) really soon and I'm having problems deciding what to stock it with. I currently have a 12 gallon with Black skirt tetras(4), cherry barbs(4), guppies(5) and a sailfin pleco(I know I'm prob overstocked). The pleco is for sure going into the big tank, but I can't decide if I want to move the fish I already have to the big tank or if I want to get cichlids. I really really like African cichlids b/c of their colour and the fact that they stay smallish. I need help deciding. I know it's a personal prefrence thing, but if I have some examples of what other people would do it would help me get ideas for my own tank. Thanks for any help!!!!!!

Our 75 US gallon is home to 6 Silver Dollars, 4 Melanotaenia affinis (rainbowfish), 5 Serpae tetra and some assorted small tetras. We currently have 3 ghost catfish in the q-tank that will also go in this tank.

The 55 US gallon has 6 Giant Danios, 12 Zebra Danios, a couple Silver Tip Tetras and our bully silver sailfin molly. Can't decide which catfish for the 55 gallon yet.

Thanks for your response pondfreak. Sounds like you have a couple of really nice tanks set up there.

Anyone else have any suggestions or ideas for me?? I really like Kribs, Powder Blues, and Yellow Labs. I have been trying to research them but am having kind of a hard time finding sites that have a lot of info. Is there any way that I could integrate ciclids into the fish I already have???

If you have the money ( and the time) you could try for a salt water tank, I'd even let you steal my stocking Idea .

I wish I had the time and money for a salt water set-up. Unfortunately I don't I think Cichlids is as adventurous as I can get right now.

Ok, I know there are a couple "Help me decide what fish I want" posts going on right now, but really, does no one have any suggestions(besides the 2 who already replyed)? I don't really believe that no one has any ideas. I'm not even asking for much, and I'm a little miffed that the other post that are similar to mine have multiple pages. I understand how posts get lost when there is a lot of posting going on, but I bumped mine to the top a couple times when I replyed to the first 2 suggestions. If this would get more replys elsewhere please move it to that section. But I thought this would be the place to post it.

hi gabe

right now we have two tanks one is a little agro the other is peaceful, my husband wants a third so he can have ciclids. ciclids are beautiful but i find that they very aggro, so it will depend on if you want peacful or aggro. we enjoy both.
