what should i get
a rhomb?
or some red bellies
it would kinda be a waiste if i got a new tank for one fish
but then again
ANYONE can go to ANY petshop and get rbp's
but not all lfs have rhombs
:nilly::screwy:
 
i'm more a fan of rhombeus, but that's single large specimen's. and that depends on your price range, rbp- cheap, large rhom- not for most guys.
 
they are both great, but you should really think about what you want because they both can and should live for a very long time. some people get bored with a solo rhom and some people like the wow factor of a rhom more than with reds. first off, what size tank would they be going in?
 
well if you buy a small rhom to grow out, it will top out around 10", so unless you wanna buy a huge rhom right off the bat for that 125, i would go with a shoal of pygos.
 
im getting a smaller rhomb that can stay in a 20 gallon for life
from what ive been informed
sanchez or somthin?
and im starting of very small
and rhombs dont grow fast at all
so i should be putting it in the 55 in another year or 2
depending on how big i get it
lookin for 2 to 5 inches
 
i'm confused now... are you getting a rhom or a sanchezi? and there is no definitely no such thing as a rhom that can stay in a 20 gallon for life
 
in fact there aren't any serras in general that you should keep in a 20 gallon for life, that is just too small
