keithgh Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 6371 Kudos: 6918 Votes: 1542 Registered: 26-Apr-2003	tetrafan31313 My sugestion is to have a good look at as many tanks as possible and the fish that are suitable for that tank size. Then work from that. make people stare at it Involves more than just fish, it is the total concept of a theme, fish & aquscaping. Does the birthday present include all the necessary bits and pieces, heater, filter, light unit, or do you have this already?

I have a fire eel that looks pretty cool - more colorful than most. They'll both outgrow a 40 gallon eventually, but you'll have time. The eel grows really slowly. Not as sure about the polypterus, but I've had mine for 5 mos or so and haven't really seen much growth. Last edited by azmentl at 02-Jan-2005 22:06

Some grow much to large for a 30 and even a 40 gallon tank, while on the other hand you'd be able to put several pairs of the many Apistogramma species in a tank that size. Do you want to plant the tank? Heavily planted tanks will keep people watching much longer than more sparsely decorated tanks. I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.
