good deal? and stocking ideas??

[assortedsorts]

so I went to go look at some tanks a local guy was selling.
A 65 gal tall and a 50 gal long (shallow tank maybe a 1-1.5' tall)
I will put measurements up tonight when I pick em up
Anyway it comes with the 2 tanks (need to silicone the top plastic bit on the 65) and the metal stand the 65 sits on top and 50 underneath. He is also willing throw in the lids and a Fluval 304 with it...deal???

As for the stocking I know I want an Ornate Bichir but that is pretty much it. Any ideas??

 

[assortedsorts]

anyone?

 

[Sab_Fan]

maybe it's just me, but did you say anywhere in your post how much $$$ he wants for all that?

 

[assortedsorts]

haha thats me being forgetful haha $200

 

[sostoudt]

with the filter i would say yes. dont the minimum tank size for a bichir tho

 

[assortedsorts]

pardon?
yeah without the filter he was gunna do 150 but i'm gunna try and talk him down to 175 for everything...hehe

 

[sostoudt]

meant to say i dont know the minimum tank size for a full grown bichir, so i dont know if the 65 is big enough.

 

[assortedsorts]

I had read that a full grown ornate needs a 75...so this would be a for now thing...i plan on getting a baby anyway

 

[oscarfish1395]

maybe a jd in the 65 sounds like a good deal tho

Sounds good on the bichir as long as you know what it needs in the future. For two tanks that sounds like a deal.
