Hey all,
I'm about to buy a 70 galllon tank for my office, and I was wondering what kinds of fish would be recommended for it?
The tank is an interesting one - there's a company in my town that is just opening it's first store, and it's got some great deals on setups. The tank is seamless, and comes with the cabinet and hood (with a built-in filter, similar to an Eclipse). It's also got 3 x 30W light fixtures (comes with the bulbs ). Regular, it's $540 for the kit, but because it's got a scratch (on the hood, not the glass) it's going new for $440 CDN 8O .
I work in at an academic counselling service at my University, so I'd like fish that are somewhat...ummm...calming, I suppose (so no snake-like fish or sting rays).
I was thinking of doing african cichlids (ideally, I'd like one or two bigger fish and a few smaller ones), but I've never really stocked a tank even remotely close to this size, so I'd love to hear some suggestions or opinions. TIA!!!
