Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I am looking at getting a 90 gallon tank for my house. We just got back from the Bahamas and my 11 month old son just LOVED the aquariums. We currently have 2 tanks, but one is tiny (5 gallon) and the other is a 45 gallon with one Oscar in it. I want to get a big tank with lots of fish for him to look at, but don't know what kind? I was thinking cichlids but have heard they can really tear up the plants and rearrange rocks, etc, and that you can only have cichlids in it. If I went with tropical fish I think I could mix and match fish species more and make it more appealing to him, but don't know the best species to put together? I know it's more of a personal choice, but looking for something that is a little easier as I do still have the baby to take care of, lol! Also i want happy fish and a happy tank. And what filtration systems do y'all recommend, as well as a uv sterilizer? I want to keep the tank as clean as possible so the weekly PWC don't include a whole scrub down of algae as well. Sorry for the long post and TIA for advice!
