Greetings,
Relatively new poster and victim of MTS. Started with a pregnant Mollie (Still got all of the fry, about 30. They are still growing). Had to get a second tank for the rest of the fish (bought a 20 gallon). Well, the other day was looking in the Thrifty section of the local newspaper and saw an ad for a 55 gallon tank (inc. Heater, filter, gravel, decorations, hood and stand) for $150. So of course I jumped on it. Also came with a 5" Australian rainbow fish and a 6" pleco. There was a Frontosa (about 8") which I did not take. I wanted to have room for some smaller, schooling fish and the Frontosa would of gobbled anything that was put in the tank.
So, my question is...what would you add to the tank? I am thinking of adding some smaller, schooling fish with some color. Maybe some barbs or a couple of angle fish. Some of the mollies from the 10 gallon tank will be going in once the get bigger. (They are dalmations. Quite a few of them are almost entirely white with a couple of spots on them).
Any ideas?
