An empty tank? - Aquarium Advice

cheezysquirrelz · 02-10-2005, 09:28 PM

My b-day comes in 18 days, and I have to figure some stuff out. I plan to get a 55 gallon. I want to move my community tank in and then possibly an elephantnose.

Once I move all the fish over, I'll have an empty 20 [acronym:01f488cc32="Gallon"]gal[/acronym:01f488cc32]. I think I should either put my cichlids into it, then find something for the extra tall tank, or find something for the regular 20 [acronym:01f488cc32="Gallon"]gal[/acronym:01f488cc32].

Any ideas or input or whatever?

what kind of feeders do you have in the five gallon if you are planing on keeping them they will probably need a bigger home soon especially if they are goldfish

For a 20 [acronym:1b0c1aa72c="Gallon"]gal[/acronym:1b0c1aa72c], I would get some rams, or any other apistogramma specie for that matter, I don't see why people only take rams. More commonly available?
So, A couple of dwarf cichlids, and some white clouds or zebras, and 2-3 otos? Or a nice little pair of dwarf gouramis with some cories?
