What would you do with a new 55?

[TheCommunityCichlid]

I have the opportunity to pick up a 55 reef ready with lights heater stand sump everything but water and fish. What would you put in it? I already have Africans and dwarfs. I want to stay freshwater I'm not ready to go for my reef yet.

I really love both Americans and African cichlids, both for different reasons so I have a tank of each the African one is good cause you can add different fish cause they are less aggressive and the American Tank Ive got a mixture of Jack Dempseys and Golden Saums. The Jack Dempsey have bred, they are brilliant parents not sure if this will help but that what I like anyways next I think I will do an oscar tank

Yea I've got a 125 mixed African tank. I may do a colony of some mbuna or something. Or some less know new worlds

That's an idea.

 

[slayer72]

There are some beautiful fish to choose from.

 

[TheCommunityCichlid]

Hmm I may make a lake specific tank. I'm not surely I'm gonna end up buying the tank or not just getting some ideas.

An Oscar? Do you want it to be cichlids?

 

[TheCommunityCichlid]

Oscars need bigger. And are there other fish?
