FISH FISH FISH

[rayboy]

Ok, After a recent loss of all my fish I want to start new and get some monsters. I currently have a 55 gallon tank which is the largest I have. Now in a year of saving I can get a 125-180 gallon tank. What can I keep for a year or so in my 55 while I save the $2,000 or so i'll be making for the new tank and accesories?

the type of fish I would like are

-Pbass
-Silver Aros
-Black Aros
-Rays
-Dats
-TSN
-RTC
-TSN X RTC
-Clown Knifes
-Royal Clown Knifes
-Alligator Gar
-Shortnose Gar
-Needle Nose Gar
-Flowerhorn
-Jags

any ideas?


Thanks,
-Kevin

Cross off the TSN, RTC, TSNXRTC, and Alligator Gar. None will work in the tank size youre looking at.

depending on where you look you can get bigger than 180's for $2000, well over, if your serious about keeping, any aro's, pbass, rtc's and clown knifes, than bump it up to a tank with a footprint of about 8'x30", and definetly cross of alligator gars. if you only get a 125, then you'll be able to get about 4 of those fish on the list.

I would go with a FH, jag, and 2 cons, all juvies then add them to the bigger tank later

I paid $1100 for a like new 210g AGA tank/stand/tops/powercompacts/overflows/2sumps. There are plenty of good deals to be had if you're just patient.

Look for used on craigslist and look often, eventually you might stumble across something. Also indoor ponds can be a much cheaper alternative and is what I will do after my stock outgrow the 90...
