While I'm working on my planted ten gallon, I decided I might as well go ahead and stock my empty 50 gallon. Nothing worse than an empty tank that's just taking up space.

I'm looking for a single, larger fish to keep. I'd rather have one larger fish than several smaller fish, because I hate having problems with fish picking on each other and then having to seperate them, which is what almost always happens with the few community tanks I've tried.

I'd also like to throw in that I have hard water, because I know that makes a difference sometimes. So, any suggestions?

what are the dimensions of the 50 gallon? at this point I'd probably go for a male carpintis or a male green terror but this could change depending on what dimensions the tank is.

you could have nearly any medium sized cichlid in there... can i recomend a brasiliensus or a member of the geophagus family... these fish love to dig and would love rearanging the tank for you
