What to do with a 150

[Duddits]

Not really that expensive. I already have a filter and the tank comes with a stand, canopy, lights and a sump for $450. Decos would be cheap since I'll use rocks from the river and I have a huge selection of natural driftwood here off our beaches in Florida. I'm thinking maybe 20 or so for a stock of fish and hope they mate. If they do, then I'll have a nice mix of cichlids in their own built environment. In all actuality, the bigger the tank the easier the maintenance and care is.

Ok,

How About a School of Frontosas? Very Cool Fish....

I have one now with my Peacock , Labs and Zebra. Before the (you can't have him because it will get huge crowd chimes in) No Worries I have a 75 gallon condo waiting for him when He gets bigger....no need to have it there now since he is only 3 inches.

I have one just like that in my 75 gallon but he doesn't have the red dots on his top fin. He's super agressive was bullying all of the fish in the tank until I decided to buy a fish bigger than him. He's now a lot calmer cause he knows he's not the big boss anymore.

I've thought about that as well. I found a nice creek here near my house that has some nice rocks. I think I'm gonna do a mbuna mix tank and try to see if I can create a happy and close to their environment kind of tank and hope to get some cool hybrids and cross breeds.

Well what is it

This is not the thread to ask, start your own thread and ask the question. Please don't just hijack someone else's thread, thank you

 

[fishbro1]

So you don't know?

 

[Freakgecko91]

You're obviously not getting the point....this thread is about what the OP should put in their 150 gallon, not what sex you JD is....

 

[Bbush]

They are saying this thread has a topic. You should start a new one and ask about your fish.

 

[Duddits]

Whoo hoo should get my tank in a few days. Getting it for $300 now
