i'm not sure exactly how many gallons the tank is
is that a 90 gallon tank?
or am i just really bad at maths?

4ft (48") by 2ft (24") by 18" right?

and when you say "some bettas" how many are we talking about?
and are they males or females?

are you planning on keeping the remaining krib fry ar selling them (makes a big difference)

First, congrats on the new tank - nice size also. What you put in it is really a matter of personal preference. Do you want a community tank, maybe a species tank or what about a chichlid one. Do you want plants or maybe a couple of larger fish. If you can give some idea of what you have in mind, then maybe we can make some good suggestions.
