Need Help Filling A Huge Tank

[Chpwaldy]

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum but not new to fish. I have had an 180 gal glass tank. I have messed around the last two years with my Hubby's Oscars and have now had him move his fish. I would LOVE to set this tank up as a big community tank or a live bearers tank. But buying one or two fish at a time just don't seem to be filling it up. I would love all kinds of live bearers but would also like to see some neon's and schooling fish. If anyone has any fish they need to get rid of for a small price plus shipping let me know.. I am even willing to take some snails off your hands.. The tank is empty all but two pleco's and a catfish.. Help me fill this thing please...

What do you have currently in the tank? Plecos get very large. I've seen some at 24" long. You should probably be shooting for housing fish based on their full grown sizes. Shipping fish is so expensive. If you have a local fish store, that would be the better way to go by far.

If you spend about $20 on livebearers, you should have plenty of fish in a couple months. For snails, PetSmart carries Mystery Snails, but I don't know what else you have in the tank. They might get eaten.

180 gal is PLENTY big enough for a pair of plecs, aswell as comunity fish.....


keep your4 eyes open for some one who breeds live bearers ect and take them off their hands when theyer young and you`l have a saving
