Picked it up used for a good price. Right now I have the fish from my 55 gallon in there. Then I'm gonna add the fish from my 29 ( in signature). Gotta love a concrete slab finished basement. It really looks great in the room. I'm not finished with the set up, but this will do for now.

Now what to do with the extra 100 gallons??????

Suggestions?

Seems like angelfish and platys in there,you do so many things like a school of rummynose tetras and otos/corys. Maybe a BristleNose pleco?

:iagree:

That's a great size tank for a large school, like 15-20. That would be beautiful. :hearts:

i would start by filling your schools and find a fish you like and run with it.

I agree with MG. Also, get bottom dwellers like plecos and/or cories.

Yeah, I plan on filling out some of the schools. I haven't had much luck with the Rummys. I went through a lot of fish to get those 4, so I'm just gonna let them live out their lives. Same with the pandas.....can't keep 'um for some reason. The danio and white clould are also left overs. I'm going to add more bronze corys, black skirts, and bleeding hearts. I'll probably get a bristlenose also.
