New 30g, can't decide resident??

[freeskierrocket]

Hello All,

I just picked up a very nice 30 gal AGA tank / stand / heater / filter combo at a local garage sale for a steal ($50, was asking $150 for all)...................anyways I cant decide what to house in it. I already have a 30 g exodon paradoxis species tank, a 125 g mixed african tank........and a betta show tank...........so I was thinking just 1 single fish as a display animal........But can't decide what would be appropriate in a 30 g for a long time if not for the whole life of the fish.................suggestions would be greatly appreciated.............thanks.........***Matt***

I always liked the Nandus nandus as a single fish for a tank that size, A threadfin paradise fish would be great if you can find one and can afford the $300 that they cost, or a pair of leopard ctenopoma would be great, they don't get more than 6" and are usually smaller, aren't too hard to find and are not horribly expensive.

If not a leaf fish, I would reccomend a pig nosed puffer. Awesome ambush predator. I'ts more commonly known as an arrowhead puffer.
