Help with 5 empty tanks that need filled

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I love the suggestions, you guys have given me A TON to think about lol. I love the idea of planted tanks, breeding convicts, and ancient fish! I really appreciate the advice!
 
Duanes, I just noticed you are tagged from Isla de Taboga! Where on the island are you? We have visited, and have friends that live there!
 
I live in a little house on the main drag on the opposite end of Dan Pedro from the public beach. There is only a small community of American X-pats, so I must know your friends. Great place to live, no need for a car, its almost live living 50 to 100 years in the past.

Hello all,

I've been on this site years ago when I was in college, but it has changed a lot in a few years. I just started my career of teaching Biology to high school students and was looking for some advice on stocking. In the past I have experience keeping CA/SA cichlids, Malawi Cichlids, Reef Tanks, FOWLR Tanks, and some brackish, but have been out of the hobby for a few years. I don't think I want to do saltwater for my first year teaching unless you guys have some really outstanding ideas :p

Currently in the classroom there is an empty 55 gallon, 40 gallon, 29 gallon, 10 gallon and a 5 gallon that is meant for reptiles (does not hold water, meant for hermit crabs).

Any opinions for these tanks that is relatively low maintenance, not terrifically sensitive, or in other words, good for a classroom? It would be cool to have some sort of biological significance as well!

Thank you guys and gals in advance!
