MarkLB Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Ah, water....ah, fish...just a couple of suggestions Mark :lol: :lol: Caper 8) :lol: :lol: You'd think it would be an easy decision but I can't make up my mind.....it's big enough that I could go for a large species like Oscars or Arowana, or I could make it a planted community tank and use my 200 litre (the current planted comm) for breeding/growout purposes. I can't make up my mind but I'm leaning toward the second option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
