My first big girl tank!
- Thread starter msjinkzd
- Start date
A pair of Altums, a HUGE school of Harlequin Rasboras, Odessa barbs (smaller school), a big school of Corydoras (green, schwartz, trilineatus - whatever you can find several of), and, of course, plants. It's a tall tank, so you could do tall crypts or vals in the background, then work your way down to some glosso or chainswords in the front corners.
(got budget for a few 54W T5s or a couple of 96W bright kits and a hood and more CO2?)
I'd also be tempted to get some tiny sevrums, GTs, a JD, couple of flag fish - then watch 'em all grow out among several well rooted, large plants - vals, swords, moss on DW. That would be a really long term committment...

oOo congrats!! You will have all sorts of fun with that! I'd do heavily planted with apistos, angels, and some schooling fish!
rachel, why don't you wait a few weeks and get it all set up the week of the 20th.. then you can stock it with 2 big oscars 
Nice tank! Here's a slightly different suggestion- forget about cichlids and characins, forget about heaters, and GO NORTH AMERICAN!
A few orange-spotted sunfish, crayfish, and madtoms, some big darters, and schools of red-bellied dace, rosefin shiners, and northern studfish would absolutely shine in that tank.

A marine reef tank would be nice but if I were to do another salty tank..It would be in the 250-300g range..too many nice fish that get big..and you would be looking at a fairly hefty investment(tho I must admit the marine systems when set up are relatively maint free)
for this tank..Discus or Altum's..tho with discus you could do a school and Altums are very hard to find.
school of cards and some rams.
planted with lots of driftwood.

Perfect for some of Pops Angels, you live close to us and we may be able to donate a few to get you started, we also have a ton of small Amazon swords.
Let is know, Nana is starting to freak out about all the tanks and fish we have.
