hi everyone i just got a new tank its quite large i was wondering if anyone has some ideas to share as i am not to sure on what to put in it yet :bounce:

maybe an airstone and plants to help oxygenate it because it's tall. I also have a hexy and I do find that the flow isn't quite as good as my recatangular ones. ... but that just might be the brand I have.

getting a new tank is like getting a new house

yep.. you have to fill it up

Did you get lights with it? I would imagine, generally speaking, that you would be restricted to tall plants as it's much harder for the light to get down to the substrate in a tall tank like yours.

How about making a biotope? you could do Asian or Amazon.

A Asian with some pearl Goramis, harlequins and a GAE would look nice.

I find that telling parents that disagree to get stuffed often results in being banished from the house

Hex tanks are hard ones to do, good luck.

As a parent I think that fish keeping is a great hobby - gently point out that there are worse things you could be doing and that it is keeping you occupied and off the streets.

In fact, you could get a part time job to help pay for the addiction and this would help you pay for your fish and tank/s.

Sam is very correct in what he says :lol:

step dads can be trouble !

if he is nice underneath he may be able to be appeased by naming your handsomest fish after him
