Won my first fish tank

[Marshman234]

My neighbors son is part of some marine ecology club.I bought some raffle tickets from him and won a 37 gallon top fin starter aquarium. I decided to set it up and get my fish from Craigslist. Figure I can help someone who can't have their fish anymore. What should I get? Here are the options.

Angelfish - http://newyork.craigslist.org/stn/for/4027459116.html
Trigger clown- http://newyork.craigslist.org/que/for/4027346891.html
Arapiama- http://newyork.craigslist.org/que/for/4025592284.html
Bishar- http://newyork.craigslist.org/brk/for/4012930905.html

My favorite cause it's free:

Redtail catfish and pacu-http://newyork.craigslist.org/lgi/for/4026425976.html

I also like the nemo fish.

Out of that group of options: definitely the Angelfish. The last fish I'd go for off that group are the RTC/Pacu, considering you need tropical ponds to keep either of them.

I like the variety in the Angels. How many should I get? I was thinking about 10. What's RTC/pacu? The pacu fish is 8 inches my tank is much bigger. Is that ok?

 

[Marshman234]

I never said anything about hammerheads. The only hammerhead I know is a huge ass shark.

The guy in the post about the koi and the Pima has a thread about getting I think two hammer head sharks and putting them in a pond or swimming pool,I believe. It's a funny read.

Figure I can help someone who can't have their fish anymore.

The person getting rid of the Arapiama is asking $250. I'm not sure this qualifies as "someone who can't have their fish anymore". I'm thinking free fish fits this "Help a fellow fish buddy out." category.

Also...I really don't think that a 37 gallon tank is going to be ok for an Arapiama and 3 Koi (which are probably large as well).

My 2 cents!
