I may be getting a new tank FINNALY persuaded my mum and my grandad is dishing out £300! That about $500! so I will be getting a 50-60gal but now I have been offered this I don't know what to stock it with the most I've ever had is a 12gal, mother wants pretty stuff while i want well big stuff, anyone got any ideas?
 
I strongly suggest looking at your local newspapers and places like Craigslist, you can find a tank much cheaper. There is a 180 gallon tank with wooden stand for $400 in my area.
 
if u have the space, def. go for a bigger tank.
 
Yeah just look around and take your time finding a tank as hard as that sounds. New is not always better I have seen some really big tanks in the news paper for cheap.

My friend just recently got a 240gl for $250 dollers. All that he had to do was drain the tank and take it out of the house.
 
Its about the maximum for size tbh. I'll look on those sites though dixon :D
 
What about an Oscar would that be OK, my dad loves long nise elephants.
 
a single oscar will do fine in a 55 as a min like already suggested find a used one and spend your money on some serious filtration if you want to keep bigger fish in a 55 maybe a small wet dry and a good hob filter
 
parents refuse to get a 2nd hand 1, I'd say they've had some bad tims with one before so we are stickng to a new one. The ones I'm looking at have filter and heater included
