-Wise1- Heads up if you decide to go with south american cichlids your choices are slim. Not because they are hard to find but, their diet, tank mates and space become major factors. If you get oscars for example you can only keep oscars as tank mates. BORING. Also, all cichlids pretty much dig shit up so say good bye to those plants. Try anubis plants, java fern, and african ferns. These plants can grow on almost any surface. Drift wood and bulk rock I found to be the best. South American cichlids get big quik as fuck.So, they can rearange a small tank in less than a hour. If you are stuck on Americas cichlids look into Central Americas and Brazilian stuff. Since you say you are saving up for a 55gal. Read up on Lake Malawi or Lake Tangenika. Lake Malawi is more well known, more distributed and alot cheaper. VERY AGRESSIVE for their size which means tons of action. I personaly started out on those. For information on enviroments go to cichlidfurum.com. Don't let your money burn a hole in your pocket. Research this shit. Your gonna be doing this shit for years to come.
Also, For the big tanks. Check flea markets, garage sales, craigslist, forum sites, e-bay etc etc. My cuzzin got a 175gal fully stocked for $200. Shop around....................... ;)
yeah exactly i have been reading up on shit, yeah i was thinking about some brazilian stuff, pretty damn expensive to order online, i work at a petstore and we cary american and african, not sure what im gonna go with, but i was thinking about oscars, but they get big, and fast, plus they arent as pretty and as exciting as some others, i have a 10 gallon right now which im breeding puffers in, i like puffers especially dwarfs becuase they can live in tropical fresh water all their lives, unlike all the other puffers which are brackis, or are purely salt, but they are mean as hell, tore up my tank already... and ate a few tiger barbs, and these guys are half a inch big....
but i will look into something more around 75-100 gallons, and i have been cheking out some local pickups on ebay, and want ads, i will keep my eye out for yard sales..... thanks for the info....
i really want to get into the planted scene, i heard about the WPG and CO2 learning about that shit, and i have some micro sword grass (fast growing as hell) some amazon swords, moss, and i will probably buy hardy stuff (java moss, java fern nubis..) bunch of that ish'.... plan on starting small with my 10 gallon and working up from there
i can get a 55 gallon starter kit with everything but the stand gravel, plants, ect... for around 150$ i was thinking about getting it on double discount day where we get 30% of everything.... so it would be around 90$-100$ or something, and i could get a stand at walymart for 50$ for a 50 gall... so im lookin into it, but i have no idea what i will do with my other tanks.... i dont have room in my bedroom, maybe fit em' downstairs somewhere....

Man no offense but, your tanks are very artifical lookin first of all. Second your fish are not agressive. Check cichlidforum.com. It's kool if you a just starting and are in to the hole guppy and barb things. The real show tanks are about the natural aquascapeing. Which means everything from the gravel/sand, rocks, driftwood, boulders, food diet, background, lighting, to the species in the comunity of the tank. I hope I did not shit on your parade but those castles, fake plants, and colored gravel just ...................are generic and gay.
I really am not trying to call you out. I think you should read up on the lakes, rivers, and oceans that are available for export. There is a so much kool shit out there that most " pet shops" sleep on.
Good luck on the tanks and education that comes with it. ;)
no its cool you aint haitin or anything, but im just waiting till i get a bigger and better tank, then i will hit the aquascape scene, i have been studying about it for a little while and i have already ordered stuff online, that 25 gallon will soon be all planted (real plants) with semi-aggressive fish (red tails, clown loach's..)
but the real fun will start tomorow im gonna practice the aquascape on my lil' 10 gallon tank i just got today for my puffers ( i breed puffers love em' a ton) by making everything all natural, no colored or any fake shit like that, all natural, it will be stocked with 3 puffers... natural rock, live plants including (micro sword, java fern, java moss, amazon sword, breeding grass hair grass, ect. ) and i will work on it for a while, im hookin it up with 50 watts.... so that is 5 watts per gallon, perfect for plants, might even upgrade it to a 50 gallon tank add some CO2 and get som cichilds....maybe some oscars midas's.... densleys and of course some convicts..... but not sure what is happening now, the 20 and 25 gallon tanks were just to start out, im kinda hating my community tank, its boring, i might just dump the fish and start over.....
thanks for the heads up and you have any links to some aquascaping sites??........i might look into making my own styrophome backround, been reading about that, and it looks pretty awesome, plus you get to put your own talent and art skills into em'.....
if your gonna buy a tank, go as big as you can start out with a 30 gallon atleast, if you dont its just wasting money, your tanks will soon build up (i have bought three in the past month)... and that builds up money also....

[/b]
yeah i was really lookin into them, i was about to buy two of em', the green spotted, and the figure 8, yeah i almost bought them, but they are expensive online, like about 8 bucks a piece, but 30 bucks to ship.... so its 50$ just for two of em', so i will get them in the future, but not now, becuase they are brackish, which means they can grow up in freshwater, but they will need slightly salted water when their older, did you have yours in tropical water??

what camera are you using?
i have the nikon 4600 coolpix, it kicks ass has 4.0 mega pixels, 3X optical zoom, and a huge freakind digital zoom, and its small, really small, best camera ever, trust me i looked into it, and its the best...

Open Question: what would it for a beginners setup do you think, fresh not salt.yeah go with freshwater, saltwater is 20$ a gallon... so a 80 tank would cost you 1600$ atleast, plus more for matenence each day......
freshwater is much cheaper and easier to take care of... if you really want to get into it and want help, which you will need check out... http://www.fishforums.net we will all hook you up there, and just check out your local petsmart for some great help...
I'm getting jellous

heheh as i type my little female puffer is trying to take on tobey, tobey is a huge snail and will only get bigger, he is probably 4X-6X the size of the puffer fish.... but i dont know i heard the puffers can do some mean stuff and take down fish 5X their size ;)
i plan on buying a 10 gal. tank tomorow and setting it up for a cycle with biospira, which automaticaly does the cycle as soon as it is mixed with the water, and i plan on having a tank full of DP's dwarf puffers, and i want to have them breed, and make fry, whom which i will by another tank for..... since they are eazy to take care of it should be a blast, tomorow i plan on spending another few hundred dollars on some more stuff including a breeding snail tank to feed my puffers....
but for now here are my eye gazing tanks, so beuatiful in the dark.. :drool:
-
ok update time, thanks for the comments
i bought the following today
SEMI AGGRESIVE TANK:
-6 tiger barbs
-2 dwar puffers ( they kick ass)
COMMUNITY TANK:
-2 guarmis
-2 platy's (male and female = baby's)
-2 guppies (male and female= babys)
ok here are some updated pics...
here is tobey just chillin on the driftwood
here is speedy, lucky to get a pick while he was searching for flakes
good ol' small tiger barbs, wanna raise em' up to be champs, they are already kinda fighting eachother though, chasing and headbutting, plus nibling, but there is six of them, so hopefully that is enough to keep them occupied from the two puffers...
here are my guarmi's... they are pretty nice colored
and my two favorite additions are my puffers, they are sooo kick ass, love em alot, although i have a male and a female, the male is just chilling on the bottom, doing nothing most of the time looking dead, i read that your tank should be completely cycled before adding these fellows or else it can kill them...... so hopefully they will be ok.
-
thanks for the propz, yeah its changed much, im getting fish tomorow, coworker is gonna call when the fish truck arrives, and im gonna get
