what size tank to get

thanks for all the info i dont know what iam going to do.

tnlguinn you built a 135G? tank whats the cost for the whole thing and how long did it take. is there a website that tells you how to do it
 
i'm sorry, not the tank, the stand. the tank i bought use with a stand that is now under my 125. i payed $275 for it as a complete setup with filter stand, tank, lights(which had to be replaced), gravel, plants and chemicals/food. the stand cost me $25 for the wood and screws. took about two hours to build.
 
new tank no go. just found out that we might be moving soon. i might have to get rid of tanks and fish. it sucks. now i am having to find people who want some fish, so anyone in my area who are lookin for fish just ask
 
I've just got to say one thing, no matter what fish you do end up keeping one that MUST GO is that jag. That thing would absolutly beat the living hell out of all of those others I don't care what size tank it is. Nothing you have can live with it. As mentioned by scott all guapotes are belligerant killers. They stop at nothing until they are all that remains in their territory, which can be a tank up to 300 gallons for a single jag. The only thing you can keep with guapotes....are other guapotes, and thats if you have a large enough tank with very and I mean VERY few specimens. Unless of course you are very experienced such as our fellow board member predatorcichlid. Still only other guapotes and a few catfish species (eg. red tails and Synodontis Eupterus) are recommended to keep together.
