the bay area should have some good qualities up there. you just gotta start looking around and fish store hop. Or check local vendors/next door states that have vendors. Like the wetspot in oregon.
for 80g if you want somthing cool. personality. look at cichlids that stay around 8-12". that shouldnt be hard. or like what homer said. good option aswell.

Just wanted to say, I have OCD and it's really f*cking obnoxious to have you blame your incessant question asking strictly on that. If you really are asking these questions because of OCD, then there's something that's triggering you to ask them. Before you found this forum, you had other behaviors instead of just asking a million fish-related questions about a non existent tank. It's strange to me that your OCD is manifesting in "planning ahead" yet you're completely ignoring the fact that you're getting an 80 gallon tank and are planning for this massive 1000-2000 gallon tank that won't even happen. Plan for the more realistic 80 gallon, ask questions regarding setting it up, ask questions about the heating, filtration, any other aspect than "will this huge predator fish get along with this one?" Also, you've been talking about the multi thousand gallon tank for awhile, you have mentioned you're starting off with the 80 gallon for about half the time and yet you don't even have the 80 gallon. This forum is to ask questions and help people, but you need to help yourself as well. Focus on the more realistic and don't rely on people just telling you what will and won't work, figure it out yourself. There are more good reputable sites than just the three you mentioned. There are countless books regarding information on fish. While they may not be exactly "fish 1, fish 2, and fish 3 will not get along" they will include a lot of information about fish 1, fish 2, and fish 3 and from the information about each individual fish you reach a conclusion about their compatibility. Quit using OCD, ADHD, and all these other supposed issues that you say you have as your scapegoat because it's borderline offensive.

Nigel im not trying to be offensive ive been seeing a physciatrist for 2 years now you need to give me a break I d o have ocd,adhd,high functioning autism,deppression, and some sort of schizophrenia that they are trying to figure out you no what My dads mom died a few days ago my aunts in the hospital due to alchloholism and smoking shes on oxygen and has a laryngectomy in her throat now and has to keep having fluid from her lungs removed now and you know I try to keep a postive attitude about everything I ask questions because I barely get any social interaction and when I try know one wants to talk to me my dad is over 300 pounds and is over 50 I just got kicked out of an aquarium store today because I confronted the owner about his starving oscars and he threatend to call 911 and kicked me out of his store and oh yeah my moms grandma is getting some sort of life threatining new surgery for her jaw replacement and my uncles the same as my aunt pratically and keeps raising the price on the 80 gallon aquarium and you know Ive always loved fish I had a betta for 2 years who recently passed away due to old age and you come along and keep trying to tell me what im going and not going to get I like to think im going to get a 1000 gallon aquarium and talk to you guys becaues it makes me feel better and not focus on all the crap thats going on in my life right now you feel better nigel I hope your happy.
I'm very happy. And quite frankly I don't care about your family's or your medical history. You keep getting advice on your outlandish stocking questions, you keep getting told to do your own research, and yet every day there are ten new threads started by you about "will this work with this for my 1000 gallon tank." If your uncle keeps raising the price then get a tank from somewhere else, put your focus on that and realistic goals rather than continuing on and on and on about some gigantic aquarium. If you're on here to just talk to people then just talk to people, but currently all your threads have been just picking random predatory fish and asking if they work and when told it's hit and miss or being told no you start just randomly throwing in other fish. Your questions can all be answered by doing your own research.

You want some honest wholesome advice? No one cares if you post 1, 10, or 1000 times a day as long as it isn't the same thing all the time brotha. You've got some of the heavier hitters on this site responding to your threads and you keep asking the same things over and over. My advice is post about some of the fish that interest you and ask people if they've owned them, about their experiences, and maybe ask if they'll share any pics they have available. You will get more than a fair share of people on this site happy to either share or brag about their experiences haha.
Like everyone is saying we all have giant tank fever on this site but until you score a sweet tank just ask people about the fish they've owned, not for crazy stocking ideas or anything, just experiences. You bring up niger cats in a lot of your threads so throw a thread in the catfish section asking about members who have or had them and maybe a few pictures to boot.
No disrepect or smack talk intended but as was already suggested you want to keep the knowledgable part of MFK on your side because when you get your tank they'll be the ones pulling your fish out of the fire so to speak.
Well said predatorkeeper. CaptainS, I'll concur that everyone or at least 99% of the members on here dream of big tanks and they are more of a distant future thing. Until you have $10k+ to start on the 1000gal tank focus on the 80 or a 75 if your uncle keeps raising the price. One thing that has killed my own passion for fish from time to time is always being focused on the what next, instead of on the present. A 75 or 80 gallon tank is a great start, heck over on the west coast I see even bigger tanks going for cheap all the time on here. If I was you I'd score my tank then plan what can go in it. Good luck with the family and personal issues as well.
