$20 Craigslist pickup

[rhettdepauw]

What Do you think? I have always wanted a hex. Although small still appealing imo. 17x17x24




Needed resealing, luckily a friend had a supply of clear 100% silicone.




up and cycling

nice. theyre more for small schooling fish than larger ones tho

 

[rhettdepauw]

agreed i have a single firemouth that doesnt seem to get along with anyone. he is stuck in a 14 so i figured this wouldnt hurt.

 

[Thedaniokeeper]

Good plan.

 

[IKeepPacu]

nice pick-up. your firemouth is sure going to be happy having that to himself i would imagine

Nice pickup. I've never seen a wide hex before usually their taller.

Like you said not a large tank, but for $20 can you really complain? lol.

I personnally would add a nice piece of wood maybe a little rockwork, some nice plants and a small group of tetra, maybe some rummy nose or lemmon tetra. Pr glowlight danios even?

 

[Bottomfeeder]

would look great with driftwood, plants, and a bunch of schooling small fast-swimming Cyprinids
Giant Danios?

 

[rhettdepauw]

once i get it more established i will be moving a good deal of slate caves and some driftwood for the height factor. Right now im testing a variety of plants because my firemouth hates most, and seems to have fun ripping them to shreds.

I have 20 rummy nose that will be going in there and i just bought two giant danios earlier today for a little cycling, haha.
