I like your tank! Any plans for plants? And what filter do you have on the tank?

 

[barterking85]

I just made a 400$ order 200 plants and 200 fish lol I run an aqua tech 40 full of good media and a ac200 I spray pained it black to go with my black and red theme just the outside of course and the tacky decorations are coming out cause I have a large peice of driftwood it's a awesome root system

Please tell me you didn't order 200 plants and 200 fish! There is no way you can have 200 fish in that tank. Or did you mean that you ordered $200 of each of those?

 

[barterking85]

Omg no lol 200$ of each

 

[fishfanatic]

Omg no lol 200$ of each

That is very good to hear! What kinds of fish/plants did you order?

 

[barterking85]

Amazon swords, moss balls, lace, among others I just flipped throughout the catolog ordering willy nilly lol within my light needs ofcourse and for fish rummynose, long fin serpae, cardinals, glowlights and cherry barbs to complete all my schools of 10

[bruinsbro1997]

[bruinsbro1997]

Oh btw if you're still looking for suggestions...I think dwarf neon rainbows, threadfins, or boesmani's would look awesome in that tank! Just a suggestion

There is not much more you can ask for in a fish store! That is awesome!

 

[bruinsbro1997]

Sweet! How many boesman's are you going to get???

 

[barterking85]

I was thinking 2 female and a male just decoding which of my many tanks to keep them in

 

[bruinsbro1997]

I'd suggest getting five...it's not like mandatory but IMO they do better in a school, they are much much more peaceful...

 

[barterking85]
