New Tank

[Aquascaper]

Here it is It took me a 5 hour round trip to get it but for £17 you can't complain (used my company car so no fuel bill )
Needs a bit of a wipe here and there

Now what to put in it.............................

 

[The-Wolf]

cool can't wait to see it up and running

ever thought of large danios?
such as
moustached Danio [Danio dangila] adults are 15cm
giant Danio [Danio aequipinnatus] adults are 15.2cm
bengal Danio [Devario devario] adults are 10cm

just a thought

 

[Aquascaper]

What is it with you and danios???

NO

NO MORE

When i first came in here you told me to get some to help cycle my tank, I did and since then i've been forever fishing the little gits out of my filter
( Seriously though, i did appreciate that help )

I was thinking more along the lines of loads of lovely Discus that i can breed and sell to make loads of money to pay for all the electricity i'm having to use running 4 tanks!

Oh, and how's your new tank coming along?

 

[The-Wolf]

I am the guardian of Danios, keeper of the sacred fish,
holder of the keys to enrichment

seriously I just like them so much, can't explain it just do.

is that tank high enough for discus?
mine is great stocked and looks fantastic

Discus sounds good but dont be tempted to try and fit too many in the tank. If you want them for breeding, a suggestion would be to divide it into 3 compartments with a pair in each, although I am not a dicus expert by ANY means so im not sure if this would be enough space?

Just my 2p

[Leslie]

If you use the dimensions given in the title it works out to approximately 56.3 Gallons

Nice tank...discus would go well....I'd seperate it lik bunjiweb said but into two tanks. I'd probably get a few of them in the tank open and wait for them to pair off. then seperate the two pairs and return the others. but im not a discus expert

 

[Aquascaper]

I was thinking of 6 Discus and letting them pair (if they do) but keeping them all together
Don't really want to segment the tank if i can help it.

 

[bunjiweb]

I would be surprised if you get all 3 pairs breeding unless you divide the tank after they have paired.
