picked up the tanks he gave me 2 20gals, 3filters-2 work, half a contanier of krill, a brand new bag of growth food, stand, and some sponge filters

pretty cool i think im gonna turn one into a tank for a peacock mantis shrimp or a snowflake eel or some thing

Hey I gave you 2 different kinds of gravel too. I just needed to get the stuff out of my basement so I figured I'd hook you up since you didn't have much. Both of the filters should work the 3rd was just a shell because I wanted to make sure you had all the pieces for the other one. I gave you 2 brand new pads for the whisper too. I have a whole bunch of krill so I figured you wouldn't mind some for free. It makes good treats for training aggressive cichlids. I had too much kens sinking food so why not lol.

I say don't get any new fish yet. Fight off the temptation! You will need at least a 20gallon each for the flowerhorn and the saggitae with absolutley no tank mates.

Yea thanks cam

I'm lovein all that stuff hehe I have a ton of stuff now LOL


Oh ya LOL I got the 2gravels all mixed in with each other cause the garbage bag tore lol

Flower horns are gross. But they get big and probably need a 75 minimum. But I wouldent buy one they are freaks.

Why do ou say that? i liked mine. too bad my jag didnt like him

 

[ryeguy28]

i have no clue what to do arrggg

i want the fh but i dont know what to do with the other tank ?

puffers would be cool but idk what kind but a pair of pink or calico cons would be cool to
help would be great

Put the sag on a 20 now. Set up the other 20 for the fh your getting. Put 2 peapuffers in the 10! Just use lots of fake plants if you do 2 peas. They'll beat on eachother if it's a direct line of view. That is what I'd do if I were u!

 

[ryeguy28]

but what about the tank in the future for the fh and sag ? i cant have 2 huge tanks

i cracked the 10 today when i was cleaning it out

 

[ryeguy28]

and jessie that sag is so wimpy he hides so much arrrgggg the piranha was more agressive and more active

That sucks about the 10. The sagi is such a little guy it's going to take him a little time before he gets more bold. As for trying to keep both, sounds like you won't be able to do so.

I'd set up both 20s and just run with the sag and the fh. Time will tell you what you'll like better and then you can set up one big tank!
