Well, I don't know, but think I will change the cichlid plans (
10g Catchup + ) too this;
A 85g stock tank. And change the cichlids to piranhas. This would have to go in my unfinished basement as the floors up here didn't cope well with the 29g. And who has room / wants to look at a stock tank in there living room. Come on, I'm not
that much of a redneck. So they are a very abused type of fish, I will not be one of those people. If I do even do piranhas, probably will. The tank will measure 35" x 51" x 18" deep. Perfect. Light will be the one on my planted now, it is soon to be replaced. 100lb of pea gravel, any extra decor I have now, a few river rocks from the local query, flower pots, plastic plants, drift wood, low budget decor all around. They will be eating a varied diet, no live for lack of disease control with that. Some beef heart, cocktail shrimp ( oh no, I will be fighting piranhas for meat! lol ), lean chicken, pellet along with a few greens every now and then ( potatoes, zucchini ). The specie I will keep are Pygocentrus nattereri, or P. cariba, or Pygopristis denticulatus, or Catoprion mento. In that order ( from really prefer to will keep... ). I hope to get one of the first two on the list. Money is a factor too. And how many I would keep depends on spices, from 2 - 6. To protect My cats, I will buy a large sheet of .5" styrofoam made by DOW and cut it down. I may cut a hole in it and glue a sheet of thin acrylic over the hole, a $5 upgrade. filtration will be a Ebay bought AC 110.
