Yeah, that was sarcastic! But, honestly, isn't there anyone out there who loves the big bad boys? I'm moving in 2 months and have already decided on a nice new 200g to replace my 125. All these threads are about danios and mollies and that's fine, but doesn't anyone else out there have some nice tankbusters? I understand that a huge tank isn't up EVERYONE'S alley, but c'mon, there's gotta be SOME die hards out there, huh?

I could only dream of a tank that big. How much did you pay for it when you originally bought it? I would use it for turtles. :dance:

If I had a 125, I'd probably get an Oscar and a small school of Silver Dollars. (I've read that that mix should get along, but I would research it some more before forging ahead.).
Or if I lived in a state that trusted its citizens, maybe Piranhas. Or just get a larger school of Silver Dollars, and get an engraved sign for the front of the tank that says, "Dwarf Piranhas."

About $250 apiece for All-Glass tank and pine stand, but I was lucky enough to find a very cheap, aquarium-only discount store. It's just a rectangle (no crazy shapes), but for something this big, believe me, you'd WANT to keep it simple.
BTW- I live in PA and the LFS has about 10 varieties of water turtles, and some are up to 12" (red ears , etc.)!! -Turtles would be cool!
