My girlfriend and I are fairly new to larger tanks, but we have a 75 Gallon freshwater, and a 10 gallon freshwater. We're already wanting a bigger one.

75 Gallon
3 - Large Tin Foil Barbs
2 - Needle Nose Gars
3 - Larger Gold Gouramis
4 - Medium Opaline Gouramis
2 - Kissing Gouramis
2 - Silver Dollars
2 - Banded Leporinus
1 - Very Larger Pleco (8"-10")
2 - Clown Loaches
1 - Horseface Loach
1 - Yo-yo Loach
2 - Praecox Rainbows
1 - Pictus Cat
2 - Crayfish

10 Gallon
6 - Mollies (Black,Dalmation)
2 - Golden Platys
3 - Tiger Barbs
2 - Harlequin Rasboras
1 - Cherry Barb
1 - Small Albino Pleco
5 - Juvenile Crayfish
 
The 2 bigger ones are about 6" and the smaller one is about 5". They are BEASTS! We were worried about the Gar's eating everything, but the Tin Foil's are much more aggressive when feeding. We'd throw in a dozen rosies and they would eat 3/4 of them. I moved to smaller comet goldfish for feeders and they still chow on those.

I'm going to TRY and get some good pics of our tank tonight. I'm really impressed in the care my girlfriend has put into it, she is definitely the "expert" of the household.

Unfortunately, we had what the place called a "spotted eel", but it didn't make it 24 hours in our tank. I was really dissappointed, because it was beautiful. The placed tested our water and came to the conclusion that our water had too high nitrate and nitrite.

yeah, we didn't realize that when we got them, but after some research we're WELL aware now. :jaw-dropping:
