oh that could be why my convit ciclid killed the other fish in the tank cause he was protctive of this cave thing i guess there were babies in there or something i never checked.
Are Flower Horns ciclids they look like it but i'm not sure.

yup they are
 
Yeah I think I might end up setting up 5 themed tanks.1 gothic,1 cemetary,1 coffin tank,1 carnivale tank,and 1 agressive tank.Now look at what yall've done.GIVEN ME A EXCUSE TO GET MORE TANKS.I think I have MTS Mega Tank Syndrome.3 10 gallons,1 5 gallon,1 1 1/2 gallon,2 1 gallon betta bowls,1 25 gallon long (which currently houses my dad's rat but i think i'll evict him so i have more tanks lol) and a 55 gallon.LOL I'll be fish poor if I keep talking to you guys.Like Duce Biggalo with all the fish giving them bottled water,spending every dime on them,and living in a crumy apartment surrounded by fish tanks.But it's worth it.Now my only problem is where to fit the 4 55 gallon tanks I'm gonna buy next pay day and start work on the coffin coffee table/fish aquarium.You guys are a bad influence.

I'm sorry for being a bad influence:grinno:, I'm going to have to get some more of my tanks set up now. I've got three 75s sitting outside and a 55. I'm already fish poor, LOL.
 
yeah what would look kewl is like a skeleton is weird positions in the tank or bones scattered helter skelter.That would look kewl
when i start on my coffin table i should make it 8feet with a skeleton in the bottom w/ plants and stuff.About how many gallons would that hold.
8' long,2' wide and about 4' deep.
Like how do I calculate the gallons it would hold?
any ideas on stocking.
I have my grandfathers wood shop at my disposale so i have all the tools.Any idea on what suppies whould be needed?I know it sounds tacky but would garbage bags work as a liner and to protect the wood?I would love it to be solid acrilic but i have no clue where to find acrilic around here.grrr why do i have to live in a small town.
 
i want a virety of fish in it humm or maybe RBP.How big do RBP get?
the tank would be just over 700 gallons.But I think I'b better build it in the basement lol cause that's alot of water to put on the 2nd story of a 60 year old house.What would be a sutable lining because i know if i try to seal the wood with paulenitlane it will kill the fish but the wood needs to be waterproof so it won't leake.What are some suggestions?line it or could i possible seal it to make the inside waterpoff and keep it from leaking.
 
Speaking of giving fish bottled water, I do it all the time....

I want to get a 180 and put a skeleton in it, and then for stocking get a couple agressive cichlids, or a Jardini arowana.
 
RBPs? Those would be nice in something like that. Maybe some Caribe Ps instead though. You could use a pond liner or Sweet Water epoxy or something. Look through the DIY section and their's different things you can use...
 
Im suprised noone mentiond "the awakening" its a sculpture that goes in your substrate and looks like a dead body rising up. think it would be something youd be into. I couldnt find a link for it.but its in the dr foster and smith catalog. Ill keep looking and post a link if i find one. Not really my style but good luck with it.
