I picked A. I'm a tiger barb lover. I've got 20 my self and there a ton of fun to watch. Good Luck on whatever you chose.

As far as the kribs, I know very little about them, but aren't they bottom fish? And don't they like to hid in caves? Never the less my suggestion is to get the Kribs first and let them establish them selves then get the shark. Make the shark tunnel as far away from the kribs as possible to reduce the agression.

Good Luck in whatever you choose

I would also bump up the barbs school if that is the only fish you are going to have on top. 10 or so.

Like what?

Give me some pretend setups from the list of fish in the poll.

I don't know how far I could take this really.

I really don't want to mess with the babies so I would like just a peacful somewhat active but not overly active community tank

So which one did you vote for?

why not take the 30 and 25 gallon out of your sig? just an idea.

have you thought about any oddballs? Not the ordinary fish?

You know I really wanted an Oddball ... Thing is I have a Piranha and well pretty much limited that tank to Piranha or maybe a pleco ... So I was really liking the idea of a tank with all kinds of fish in it.

I wanted an oscar but ..... I know a 50 Would not support the fish.

Polypterus senegalus, Senegal bichir; The most commonly seen and most suited to aquarium life of all the bichirs, with a average full grown captive size of 10" this species can easily be kept in tanks of 30g or larger and is safe to keep with tankmates over 3 inches.

i guessi should add thats its from here

I would love a Datnoid but I gather 50 Gs is way out of Bounds

Macrognathus siamensis(aculeatus), Peacock spiney eel; The smallest of the commonly seen spiney eels, this species will only reach a captive size of around 10 inches and is suitable for communities in tanks over 30 gallons with tankmates over 2".

I heard these guys are good escape artists

Haha the goldfish is holding strong with 3 votes! Lets go goldie!

Not everyone plays on the straight and narrow ... I AM ONLY MESSING.

You know you are only encouraging people to vote gold fish now ...

They are...all you need is a glass lid IMO fun to have. I'd have an eel in my marine setup I'm planning, but some of the other fish I have to have will be sitting targets

I'm considering a predator marine tank in the years to come

btw spiney's aren't marine. Yea I know that...just read it and thought I made it sound like that

I do like the sounds of an eel for sure ... I will call my local fish super store ... and says "EELS" nothing else ... just "EELS" I think they will get the message

ps. I already have a glass lid.
