My hubby got me a 55 gal tank for my birthday. We have it all set up and are working on getting it cycled/ decorated before adding fish.
So here are some thoughts....
1) Cichlid tank. never kept them before, but they are so pretty. I know they can be highly aggressive, though. My brother had a tank and one slowly offed the others.
2) Move the fish from my 29 gal (peaceful fish, mostly mollies, neons, and the like..see sig) and put a freshwater puffer in the 29 gal, but hubby is not thrilled with the idea of a tank for ONE fish...even if that fish is way cool.
3) leave the 29 gal alone and get some semi sggressive fish for the 55 gal... or move the peaceful ones to the 55 and put semi aggressives in the 29 gal.
4) other ideas?
Decorating the 55 gal. I want a natural looking set up. I can't seem to find decorations that go higher than half of the tank. I want to fill in the space, preferably with something the fish can swim in/out of.
I REALLY want a marine tank. Sadly, that is way to much $$ for right now- and I am totally clueless on those!
