	Tanks are empty and ready to move...now some restocking suggestions
Tetra Fan Mega Fish Posts: 1203 Kudos: 1081 Votes: 63 Registered: 11-Apr-2004	Ok, some of you may know im moving. My tanks are all empty and the fish back at the lfs (not taking a direct route to my new house...going to Pennsylvania for a few weeks and then finally moving in). Im thinking about using my 55 gallon to start a marine tank though. So i need suggestions for a 29 gallon, a 10 gallon, and a tall irregularly shaped 40 gallon. I like cichlids, tetras and fish of that sort. So any ideas?

Killifish or Shell Dwellers for the 10gal. tank. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com

Shellies in the 10 Plant up the 29. ^_^[hr width='40%']"Has someone taken your faith? It's real, the [link=pain]http://babelfish.qwertydigital.com/" style="COLOR: #EB4288[/link] you feel.

Babelfish Administrator Small Fry with Ketchup Posts: 6833 Kudos: 8324 Votes: 1570 Registered: 17-Apr-2003	yup odd shaped alright :%). I'd still look to putting any active fish you're interested in in that tank.....although it might make for interesting cichlid tank too...for smaller species considering the number of viewing angles you could have on the caves and territories :%). ^_^[hr width='40%']"Has someone taken your faith?

sirbooks Moderator Sociopath Posts: 3875 Kudos: 5164 Votes: 932 Registered: 26-Jul-2004	Nice to see you back, man. All right... Ten gallon- Seven cardinal tetras, one German ram Twenty-nine gallon- Eight blue tetras, one male/female pair Bolivian rams, eight Corydoras catfish, eight pencilfish or hatchetfish Forty gallon- Three or four Apistogramma cichlids (depending on species, one male/two female, male/three female, or two m/f pairs), twelve green fire tetras, twelve rummynose tetras, ten Corydoras catfish, one bristlenose pleco. Sort of basic little lists. Anything in particular that you're interested in? South American fish are still your bag, right? And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
