EVOLUTION OF YOUR CURRENT (MAIN) TANK

[Peanut_Power]

As long as I can keep Crenicichla in it, I don't really care what it is!! !!

I voted for the second option but really I just go as big as I can go on tanks. Tanks can be to small but almost never too big for a fish.

I am facing a decision now or in the future -- my current tank is not adequate long-term for the fish in it now.

Cant seem to get the money together fast enuf for my 250 gallon I want

I got the tank first knowing that it was a steal and could be used as a growout for my loaches for quite some time until I found a good deal on a 125 or larger.

I had to upgrade tanks too... not all of us have the space or the cash for a 240+ gallon tank...

true that, i dont have the space for anything other than a 150 gallon, but i just figured most people have gotten little tanks and then upgraded.

 

[headbanger_jib]

i constantly get new fish and new tanks
and upgrade tanks
i am greedy

tanks are like closets. If you have an empty one, it will eventually be filled with stuff no matter what. Tanks before fish always for me.

I have always wanted an Oscar and, after going through the "regular community" fish in my 130 litre I decided screw it, go for the Oscar and deal with the larger tank later... wrong I know but he still has plenty of room, and tommorrow he is moving into a 350 litre, so yes it is an upgrade from a current tank but I was fully aware that it would be happening in the near future.

My problem was that I wanted fish before I knew anything about them. My first tank was a standard 4'. I think that's about 50 G(?).

My LFS were very good about helping me get started, buy the right fish and then helped me plan what to do next. They talked me out of a couple of crazy ideas but guided me toward the light - bigger fish AND bigger tanks.

Thus my first tank wasn't bought with any real consideration for specific fish, but neither were the fish bought for the tank. Now though, my next tank project (and it changes over time) is always a bigger tank - one way or another.
