Think I'm going to go with a 40 breeder. I'd love to get a 4' tank but 40/45 long tanks are non-existent around here and I'm a touch too paranoid to try a 55. So I was looking at the 40 breeders yesterday and they're growing on me. I wish they were longer but they are deeper which would be fun to scape and the fish would have more room both length and depth wise than they have now. Plus I might not have so many worries about the tank going through the floor lol I can always upgrade if/when I move to a lower level residence.
Next issue is finding a good stand. PetSmart only has the metal ones to fit a 40 breeder and I need something with a cabinet to hide the canister. I might have to order online, we'll see.
I'm hoping by the weekend I'll have the tank and I'll either find a stand to buy or one will be on order along with some decor (been to 5 LFS here and not one has Cichlid stones!). Once I get more supplies and start "building" this thing I'll start a build thread.
@George: yeah you might be right about the Danios. They are
nano fish though, very small, I was thinking a larger group would be pretty but you've changed my mind lol I will get 3-4 more females than I have now though as I originally had 12 and lost 4 along the way and they were all females so my M:F ratio is off.
