New 40 Gallon!! - Page 2

Dano · #11 ,

Thanks Neo........There was a 40gal tank on the market that was the same as a 55gal (48x12) just not as high. I had one that got destroyed in a hurricane we had years ago.

I was tempted to get the 55 gallon but I have no room for it (my parents make me keep all my tanks in my room)

Plus the 40 was only $70

I guess it's a good thing the tank is tall since I'm putting my angles in it.

Since I got my new tank I've been searching and researching for compatible tankmates for my kribs and angles,

So far I came up with:
Cockatoo cichlids (Krib tank)
Keyhole cichlids (Krib tank)
Checkerboard cichlids (angel tank)
Maybe a Severum (angel tank)

I labeled the Severum as a maybe because it can get around 8" and I'm not completly sure about their compatibility with angels. My LFS sells the gold variety and they are around 2".

Looks like I got a little ahead of myself and went ahead and bought the Keyhole and one Cockatoo.

I couldn't help it this was a once in a lifetime opportunity and I had to get them before anyone else could.

So far I filled my tank with white sand and I started the filter, just 2 months before I can add fish.

I'm still debating the severum though.

"I couldn't help it"...familiar words!!!

Be careful though...too many different cichlids in one tank can be trouble.........

Can all of you please pray that I don't get MTS?

Thanks

Praying doesn't help.......look at me!

Guess what I got offered a 100 gallon tank yesterday

It comes with the filter, a heater, gravel, and decor for only $200.

My only condition is that if I get it I have to take down my 10 gallons and I have to get silver dollers (my mom likes them

).

Even better news is that I don't have to keep it in my room.
