Need Your Opinion

[CodyL]

OK, so in the next few months when I get some extra $$$, I want to get a tank and stand off of CL, with a filter and such. I am having trouble deciding which size to get. As of now I have a 10 gallon tank, but I want a bigger one. I would like to actually put some real plants in it and make it look really nice with different fish that can get along. I'm having trouble deciding what I should move up to. Some people tell me 29 but I'm afraid I'm going to want something bigger down the road and not want to spend the money. Are 29 gallon tanks a decent size? If I get a 29 gallon tank and out of nowhere fry start to appear I can put them in my 10 gallon tank, give most of them to my LFS and keep some of them right? Just need some opinions

If you can afford a bigger tank, I would suggest you to go for the 55G. This will give you a lot more options!

A 40g breeder is a great tank for planting.

Yes the 10g will hold fry for a time IMO.

55g is a very common tank size and will give you lots of options. A 75g would be even better, but not as common. I see 55g's on CL all the time.

Yea, I was thinking of maybe a 55 gallon too maybe i can get a good deal on one
