65 gallon

[Connor0729]

hi guys,
some of you might remember the thread i started about the 120 gallon i was going to buy. well, it turns out that its only a 65, but i lowered the guys price a bit. anyways, i gave the guy a deposit and i'm picking up the tank at the end of July, when my mom's house will be finished. i was thinking of getting a sweet looking flowerhorn off of aquabid, but it's always been kind of a dream of mine to have a sweet looking female festae. which fish have more promise to turn out nice?

Thanks,

Myself, I'd rather have a female Festae, and if you're going to get one order it from Jeff Rapps. You'll only be able to keep one in a 65 though.

Rapps doesn't ship across the border unless the order is over $500

 

[Frostyone]

sorry didn't notice your location. Better find a friend who lives close to the border

a plane ticket

ummm, no. i live 2 hours from the border

and what's so funny? i don't get it

Well I would go with FH because it is cheaper and you at least know what the fish may look like as an adult. As for the festae, you won't know what sex you get. But if you can get a females festae, get it.

would i be able to have the female festae and a few clown loaches?

It might work for a little while, but she might kill them. Females are a little more tolerent than males though.
