	Try again! What setup for 50G tall
SheKoi Fish Addict Posts: 667 Kudos: 553 Votes: 4 Registered: 11-Feb-2004	i've moved my planted tank from a 50G (US) to a 72gallon US. now my 50G is bare apart from neons and a dwarf gourami keeping the filter and tank cycled. i want rock setup to contrast with my planted setup. but i can't decided on what fish to keep. not having amrine yet, due to time and cost issues. i have come up with some ideas which would you choose. www.blooming-brilliant.co.uk

However, I have some different Tangs in mind from the usual run. Chances are they'll be hideously expensive if you can find them, but they are SO worth the expense! Paracyprichromis nigripinnis]http://www.cichlidae.com/gallery/Paracyprichromis/nigripinnis-01.jpg[/link] is one of two drop dead gorgeous Tanganyikans worth looking out for. The other one is [link=Benthochromis tricoti. I suspect you'll have to blow a month's salary to acquire these guys, but tell me - don't your eyes pop out on stalks when you see them?

There are plenty of fish that are ten times better than monos, scats, and puffers that can live in a 50 gallon tank. You just have to know where to look. I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.
