hey steve, he is in a 120 all by himself! 4x2x2! am gonna be adding more plants in the future to the tank. i already have some floating plants in the mail. once i get the tank done i might try adding some real small tetras or something. i know i know, probably wont work. im hoping the tetras will be to small for him to care about.
you have to be itching to get that 33 going huh?

Very nice he will love that 120, thats almost a perfect tank. Are you doing live plants? I think once the rhom gets larger (maybe even now) that it wont care about the smaller dither fish. The best Ive had luck with are the giant danios, they are very fast and lasted a few months in my p tanks. The regular danios were too small and slow... but I would try some giant danios if I were you.
Yes I cant wait to get that 33 setup, thanks again. I found some glass tops for it I had laying around and got the background painted black already. Now I just have to get some time/money to build a stand for it.

do you paint all your backgrounds black? yeah, ive got live plants in there now. some floating hydra, and 3 sword plants. i got some watter lettuce and spangles coming. i wantt o add more plants to the bottem, but i dont know. i might just mix in some fakes with the live. as far as fish i will have to check out the danios. i was thinking of doing a school of cardinal tetras which get like an inch long. i saw some green neon tetras that would look cool mixed into a school of cardinals. i am also thinking of maybe adding some cherry shrimp to the tank to act as scavengers instead of getting a pleco or cat
and what will you be putting in your 125?

All my backgrounds are either tinted black or painted black. IMO it brings out the color of the fish more.
Your dither fish list looks pretty good, just stick to the fast moving fish. IMO the cherry shrimp will not work. They will be eaten quickly, but you can certainly try it.
Im still debating on what to put in my 125, its going to be some sort of cichlid mix..
