I do appreciate the input... I definitely have to see these fish in person to see which are going to be most visually appealing for the tank.

Yea its slowly getting there as I am adding stuff from week to week so its not a bunch of money at once to keep the wife at peace...

I have literally never kept any of these fish in the past...

Well that is what I figured... ok well I do like the idea of Convicts and maybe those Hoplo catfish as a setup. As mentioned the Convicts as the centerpiece and 3-4 cats for background should look decent. Maybe a couple snails for cleaning crew

That is what I figured... I thought maybe at least snails would be ok. If I wanted to keep a Invert tank only what is compatible to live in harmony? Thanks for the advice thus far

Now with me wanting to keep invertebrates would any of these cichlid pose problems?

I have never kept angel fish... I do not know too much about them but I know the marine angel fish are pretty angry...

I have not taken parameters as of yet I just got it started... I plan to get a test kit I just wanted to get the tank started. I do know my water is not good and expensive haha. Its safe to drink according to them but taste like pool water... I don't even know about fish at the moment if I can...

I have probably changed my mind 100+ times since I got this tank... if I went with a vert tank what would be a good set-up? It is 36x12x24 and two large pieces of driftwood in it. I will have a glass top with LED light bar and AC110 as far as equipment goes oh and black sand. Looking for...

Well that's a shame haha.... well thanks for the information.

So I have read that you should not mix Oscars and Crayfish... or crabs. However would they do damage on snails? I am sure most crustaceans are off limits but figured snails are tough so to speak. Thanks in advance... I cant seem to narrow down what I want for a setup so I keep thinking of...

So if anyone wants to drop there thoughts or input... what I plan to do with the tank is once I have it all cleaned and touched up. I plan to do black sand about 40 lbs give or take... plus the two good size pieces of driftwood that are in it, I also plan to put a couple rocks in there because I...

Ok well thanks for the tips... looks like this setup won’t be as I hoped but still going to try a few things to see how it works. I think I know how I’m going to set it up after advice and reading. thanks again

I appreciate the tips... thanks!

Yea he was going to give me a 100 gallon but my wife put the stop to that real quick... so I figured this one just needs a cleaning and bonus the 2 large pieces of driftwood came with it so I am pretty pumped.

Oh good to know... here is the setup!

There are no stains just some dirt in it... and by cleaning vinegar do you mean like white distilled?

Can you mix crabs and craws? Just curious... I have read everything from people keeping everything to species only so its a bit conflicting. Either way I got my tank home have to clean then cycle it and I plan to do black sand... I have a couple large pieces of drift wood in there, going to put...

So my buddy gave me a 40 gallon tank 36 wide 12 deep and 24 tall, he had it as a aquarium then put some geckos in there (maybe spelt that wrong) either way lizards... Just want to know the best course of cleaning this thing up so I can put it on a month cycle before I throw some inverts in...

You can at least do shrimp and snails correct?
