I gots me an aquarium!

[Yenko]

I gots me a used aquarium! 70 US gallons, 48"X16"X21"! Only 100 canadian too! That's 81 USD, 43 pounds or 20 neons!

So far the only confirmed residents are three clown loaches and angelfish. Anyone else have any idea what should go in there? I'd like to see the angelfish spawn and hopefully raise their young; are there any small barbs or tetras that wouldn't eat ALL the fry? Edit: I was thinking cherry barbs, because they are less active than other barbs and if I have enough they'll be on a continual egg-hunt for other cherry barb eggs. It's something truly hilarious to see a spawning pair of cherry barbs go blasting through the tank, with all the other fish racing behind to snatch their eggs.

Congrats, great price

Congrats indeed. What was included? I'd say the tank without accessories is alone worth more than 100 USD, even used.

Congratulations! Now go kill some fish

Just kidding

Hatchet fish are great in a school, very entertaining

No accessories. The aquarium isn't the most attractive (Ugly tan bottom and top frames; I might paint them black), and has some minor scratches on the back pane, but those won't be visible when its set up.

I'm thinking of a semi-community tank. Planted. I have plans for a 160W canopy, plus DIY CO2 and a west window for supplemental light.

I'm either getting a pair of Green Severums or 3 clown loaches, 4 angelfish and a bunch of cherry barbs.
