I will be getting a bigger tank as soon as humanly possible, and this time I want to have a specific plan in mind concerning stock/decor. I find its easier to create a unique niche/biotope/concept tank if you plan it out from the start.
Since my little tank is already badly overstocked, and my craving for fish-keeping is nowhere near sated, I have been quenching my obsession by working out what I want to do next. I just graduated from college in December, and I will probably want to wait until I'm ready to move out into my own place before I get a bigger tank that would be hell to move, because it seems my parents are not very enthused about my rediscovered hobby. That means it will probably be a couple months before my plans can be enacted, unless I cave and buy another tank before moving.
Anyways, I am thinking that as soon as I can I will get a 29 gallon tank, or if I can fit it, a 40 breeder. Im going to try making the sand pit of sudden doom, which i have mentioned before. I want a sand substrate with no decorations/plants except for along the sides/rear of the tank.
For stock, I want to get a few chacas chacas and a few prehistoric monster fish, if I can find them. I think this combination of fish would make for a really awesome oddball tank. Does anybody foresee problems with this combination? What size tank would be suitable? I would probably put a couple mid-upper dwelling fish or the sake of the tank's activity level, but the focus would be on my lurkers. What do you guys think?
What new sort of fishy madness are you guys scheming?
