going to be getting rid of my snake that currently lives in a 45gal(18" deep x 12" wide x 48"long) tank and turn the tank back into a fish tank.... i want your ideas what to stock in the tank.... brackish or FW setup cost is no option.... i already have piranhas so i dont want a pirahna species... remember anything and everthing else, what kind, how many and so on...
 
You could always go native with that. How about 2 or 3 Pumpkinseeds. Or you could always get alot of minnows. I love native tanks they are awesome because you can catch your own pets. and learn alot about them.
 
I would prob do a few fire mouth's...or do a wood heavy dimly lit pleco tank.
 
I am with you on the bristle nose. How about a Gold Nugget and a Gold Royal Pleco. Both are fairly reasonably priced, here in MD anyway, will get along fine and look great together. I am a fan of Loaches. The Yellowtail Blue Botias and Clown Loaches. Suggesting these in case you don't want to go the illegal route, lol.
 
are the gold royals an efficent algea cleaner? also i realy like clown loaches, kuhli loaches, and Botia kubotai. but dont want to limit myself to just loaches.... also Talal a gibbicept is L165
