New 90g want to try some largers fish

[djlamonica]

Just picked thisb tank up for 80 bucks http://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/fod/3206094175.html

Its a 90g with stand hood and light I think it's a steal at 80 bucks let me know if you think other wise I can still back out. It holds water already checked. Standard 90 measurements.

Anyways I'm fairly new to the hobby currently have 5 tanks running 55,60,15,10,and 5 so this will be my first "big boy tank". In terms of being 18 in depth and I understand that opens up a lot more options.

So I really don't have any specific plans for this tank I just jumped on it when I saw it. So any ideas or options I'm into all kinds of fish I have an mbuna nk and a sa cichlid tank with sevrum geo nd Dempsey and some loaches the smaller tanks re community and breeder.

I think I want to do strictly larger fish but that's about as fr as I've gotten. I was thinking maybe 1 tiger Oscar s I've always wanted one but never had the space. But that got me thinking what other ish have I passed over because they got to big.

L.S.S. what fish did you put in your first larger tank and what would you fill your open 90 with?

Thanks!

that is an amazing deal ! Sticking with fresh water ?

Yes I think so but I guess I've never really thought about salt water before.

Perhaps a solo male midas or trimac

well I came up with something with the help of a member
1 tiger oscar
1 chocolate
1 texas blue
1 green terror
5 clown loaches
1 green phantom pleco
1 salt queen pleco
A school of something maybe tiger barbs?

Anyways hows that sound 10x filtration 50% water changes a week could I add more fish or am I pushing it?

the oscar and green terror will be the only thing left in 3 years and the plecos

Have you considered Geo's. There are several species and they have color, personality, and are readily available. Check out Jeff Rapps at www.TangledUpinCichlids.com
He has some great stuff!!! I would look into several Geophagus R. Tapajos and possibly some other Geo's (Eartheaters).

that list seems really heavy. .

90s are the same as a 75 just the 90 is taller and remember the 75 is minimum for one Oscar if you really want 2 happy fish without fighting..

the Oscar will eat the tiger barbs also.

way too many fish. if you have no plans to upgrade- 1 oscar will fill the tank and want bigger.

Are you talking all of those fish in the 90g? Over stocked for sure. I like to use this as a guide: http://www.aqadvisor.com/AqAdvisor....AqSpeciesWindowSize=short&AqSearchMode=simple
